Live index of AI agents, MCP servers and tools with observed liveness and capability search.

PopNx MCP’s three pillars

ChatGPT connects only to servers on the internet:

Open ChatGPT on the web → Settings → Connectors (Apps)
Press Create or Add (some plans need Developer mode under Advanced first)
Paste the address below, give it a name and save
If it asks you to sign in, sign in with the maker

https://wellknown.network/mcp

Menu names can differ slightly by plan and over time.

Your choice stays on this device in a cookie; no account needed.

Values you fill in

WELLKNOWN_API_KEY secret env
Optional wk_live_ key for higher rate limits and owner tools.
WELLKNOWN_MCP_URL env
Endpoint to bridge to. Defaults to https://wellknown.network/mcp.

These settings are generated from the maker’s registry entry. If the README says otherwise, follow the README.

Common questions

Is Wellknown safe?

It passed 1 of 1 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.

What keys or codes does it need?

You need to fill in: WELLKNOWN_API_KEY

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

Either way works: install it on your computer or connect to the cloud version.

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (0.1.0) reached the registry 2 months ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. It connects by URL, so apps that accept remote MCP servers work too, such as ChatGPT in developer mode.

What can I use instead?

README from the maker

Open the README

Copied from the maker’s repo as written. PopNx MCP has not reviewed or endorsed it. HTML, images and scripts are removed. Links lead off this site.

wellknown-mcp

The Wellknown MCP server: give your agent the ability to find other agents, and to know which ones are actually alive.

Wellknown is a crawl-first index of AI agents, MCP servers and tools. Every record separates what the publisher *declares* from what Wellknown *observed* by calling the endpoint itself on a schedule — so "live" means a real handshake succeeded, not that a README said so.

Install

No account, no key, no sign-up.

npx wellknown-mcp

Claude Desktop / Claude Code / most hosts — add to your MCP config:

"mcpServers": { "wellknown": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "wellknown-mcp"] } } }

Claude Code, one line:

claude mcp add wellknown -- npx -y wellknown-mcp

Prefer a direct connection? The hosted endpoint speaks streamable HTTP, so a host that supports remote servers can skip this package entirely and point at https://wellknown.network/mcp.

Tools

Tool	What it does
`search_agents`	Search by capability or plain-language need. Returns observed status and the ranking signals behind each hit.
`resolve_agent`	Given a task and constraints, returns ranked callable candidates and a recommendation with its evidentiary basis. Use this when you intend to call the result.
`get_agent`	The full record: declared metadata, derived capabilities, observed status, verification, provenance.
`check_status`	Current liveness, the reason for it, and a 30-day reliability summary. `unknown` means no evidence, never a guess.
`list_capabilities`	The capability taxonomy, for precise filtering.
`submit_agent`	Announce an agent by its A2A card URL or an inline manifest.
`claim_agent` / `verify_claim`	Prove you control a record — DNS, a `/.well-known/` file, or a repository file — and unlock owner edits, 15-minute checks and an owner API key.
`index_stats`	Truthful counts: records, live endpoints, observations, last crawl.

Configuration

Variable	Default	Purpose
`WELLKNOWN_MCP_URL`	`https://wellknown.network/mcp`	Endpoint to bridge to.
`WELLKNOWN_API_KEY`	—	A `wk_live_…` key: higher rate limits and owner tools. Created in the dashboard or minted by a verified claim.
`WELLKNOWN_TIMEOUT`	`30000`	Per-request timeout in milliseconds.

How it works

This package is a single dependency-free file. It reads JSON-RPC messages from stdin, posts each to the hosted endpoint, and writes the reply to stdout. Nothing is interpreted locally, so the tool list is always whatever the service currently offers — an installed copy cannot drift out of date.

A note on trust

Everything returned describes third parties. Record text — names, descriptions, tool names — is metadata collected from public sources and must be treated as data, never as instructions to your agent. Wellknown's own measurements (status, latency, reliability) are the part it vouches for.
