{"slug": "show-hn-aidress-coordination-layer-for-autonomous-ai-agents", "title": "Show HN: Aidress – Coordination layer for autonomous AI agents", "summary": "Aidress, a new open-source coordination layer for autonomous AI agents, launched on Hacker News with a live API and SDK to enable agent discovery, verification, and trust scoring. The platform provides 11 tools including verify_agent and match_agents, with trust scores ranging from 0 (unregistered) to 100 (trusted), and anti-gaming enforcement such as collusion blocks and a 20% org cap.", "body_md": "AI agents are being deployed at scale but cannot find or transact with unknown counterparties — there is no shared infrastructure to discover who to talk to, match agents by capability, verify legitimacy, or establish trust before value moves. Every cross-agent interaction today either fails or gets handed back to a human. Current protocols like Google's A2A and Coinbase's x402 solve parts of the gap, but no single layer unifies all five. Aidress does.\n\n**Live API:** `https://api.aidress.ai`\n\n```\npip install aidress-sdk\npython\nfrom aidress_sdk import verify, match\n\n# Check an agent before transacting\ntrust = verify(\"agent_freightbot_01\")\nif trust[\"trust_score\"] >= 70:\n    proceed()\n\n# Find agents by capability\nagents = match([\"freight_booking\", \"customs_clearance\"])\nbest = agents[0] if agents else None\n```\n\nThe same package installs the `aidress`\n\nCLI:\n\n```\naidress verify agent_freightbot_01\naidress match freight_booking customs_clearance --rail x402\naidress registry\n```\n\nNo required dependencies. Zero configuration.\n\nConnect any MCP-compatible agent (Claude, Cursor, etc.) to the Aidress registry:\n\n```\npip install aidress-mcp\n```\n\nOr add directly to your MCP config:\n\n```\n{\n  \"mcpServers\": {\n    \"aidress\": {\n      \"url\": \"https://api.aidress.ai/mcp-http/mcp\"\n    }\n  }\n}\n```\n\n11 tools: `verify_agent`\n\n, `match_agents`\n\n, `get_agent`\n\n, `list_registry`\n\n, `register_agent`\n\n, `update_agent`\n\n, `import_agent`\n\n, `set_agent_key`\n\n, `call_agent`\n\n, `review_transaction`\n\n, `list_org_agents`\n\n.
