### Description (declared)

# ANP Bridge MCP Server

[![PyPI version](https://badge.fury.io/py/anp-bridge-mcp-server.svg)](https://badge.fury.io/py/anp-bridge-mcp-server)
[![License: MIT](https://img.shields.io/badge/License-MIT-yellow.svg)](https://opensource.org/licenses/MIT)
[![Python 3.10+](https://img.shields.io/badge/python-3.10+-blue.svg)](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=…
