## AI Agent Access

This site exposes a live semantic search API over its full product catalog. Agents
can query it directly rather than scraping the site.

- Agent Card (A2A): https://www.the-automator.com/.well-known/agent.json
- MCP manifest: https://www.the-automator.com/.well-known/mcp.json
- Get a free API key: https://www.the-automator.com/ai-search

Two protocols, one search core:

- MCP (Model Context Protocol, spec 2025-06-18, Streamable HTTP):
  https://edd-downloads-a2a.joe-glines.workers.dev/mcp
- A2A (JSON-RPC):
  https://edd-downloads-a2a.joe-glines.workers.dev/rpc

Auth: `Authorization: Bearer <key>`. Keys are free and self-service at the
registration URL above.

### What the search returns

Product titles, product page URLs, descriptions, categories, tags, and a relevance
score. Search is by MEANING, not keywords: "I need to pull data off a web page"
finds the web-scraping tools.

It never returns prices, sales figures, customer data, or direct file-download links.

### Example (A2A)

POST https://edd-downloads-a2a.joe-glines.workers.dev/rpc
{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"search_downloads",
 "params":{"query":"automate excel reports","top_k":5}}
