# ANP Bridge MCP Server [](https://badge.fury.io/py/anp-bridge-mcp-server) [](https://opensource.org/licenses/MIT) [](https://www.python.org/downloads/) **The first MCP bridge for the Agent Network Protocol (ANP)** — connect MCP-powered AI agents to the decentralized "Agent Web". ## What is ANP? [Agent Network Protocol (ANP)](https://anp.network) is an emerging open standard for decentralized agent-to-agent communication. It uses DIDs (Decentralized Identifiers) for identity and `.well-known/agent.json` for discovery — enabling a permissionless, cryptographically secure web of AI agents. ## Features | Tool | Description | |------|-------------| | `resolve_agent_did` | Resolve any DID (did:web, did:key, did:ethr) via Universal Resolver | | `fetch_agent_wellknown` | Fetch an agent's capabilities from `.well-known/agent.json` | | `discover_anp_agents` | Search for ANP-compatible agents in the network | | `create_anp_agent_profile` | Generate a compliant ANP Agent Card / Profile | | `format_anp_message` | Create ANP-formatted messages for agent-to-agent communication | | `validate_anp_message` | Validate ANP messages for spec compliance | | `compare_agent_protocols` | Compare agent protocols: ANP, A2A, MCP, ACP, AGNTCY, AGP, UTCP | ## Installation ```bash pip install anp-bridge-mcp-server ``` ## Usage with Claude Desktop Add to your `claude_desktop_config.json`: ```json { "mcpServers": { "anp-bridge": { "command": "anp-bridge-mcp-server" } } } ``` ## Example Usage ``` # Discover ANP-compatible agents discover_anp_agents(capability="text-generation") # Resolve a DID resolve_agent_did("did:web:example.com") # Create an agent profile create_anp_agent_profile( name="My AI Agent", description="A helpful AI assistant", capabilities=…
