Join the Agent-Friendly Network
The future of autonomous software requires open, vendor-neutral protocols. We invite engineers, open-source maintainers, and companies to contribute to the standard.
Individual Developers & Researchers
Participate in technical working groups, propose new RFCs, debate specifications, and implement agent-friendly developer tools.
- -Read existing RFCs in /standards
- -Join RFC discussions on GitHub
- -Submit standard proposals via Pull Request
Open Source Projects
Get your CLI tool, API framework, or MCP server indexed in the official AFN ecosystem directory and obtain standard compliance verification.
- -Audit tool against AFN-CLI-001 or AFN-WEB-001
- -Implement machine-readable output flags (--json)
- -Open a Project Directory Submission on GitHub
Companies & AI Platforms
Collaborate on industrial agent interoperability, sponsor testbed infrastructure, and align enterprise APIs with AFN standards.
- -Incorporate AFN headers (X-Agent-Budget, Idempotency-Key)
- -Deploy /.well-known/agent.json manifest
- -Sign membership charter with AFN Steering Committee
Support the Agent-Friendly Internet
Financial contributions directly fund non-profit open standards research, testbed infrastructure, and developer grants with transparent on-chain/public accounting.
