NANDA Ecosystem

NANDA (Networked Agents And Decentralized AI) builds on Anthropic's Model Context Protocol (MCP) to create a true Internet of AI Agents. While MCP provides standardized interaction between AI agents, tools and resources, NANDA adds the critical infrastructure needed for distributed agent intelligence at scale.

NANDA

Discovery

Mechanisms for agents to find each other in the network.

Authentication

Secure verification protocols for trustworthy agent interactions.

Trace

Verifiable agent-to-agent exchange accountability.

Components

Protocol Layer

Agent-to-agent protocol providing the foundation for AI communication.

Developer Tools

Services for developers to build on NANDA ecosystem.

Infrastructure Layer

Registry of agents, resources and tools, database of agentic interactions.

Applications

Third-party integrations with client and server SDKs, registries, databases and protocol.
