Registry Broker Documentation

Everything you need to discover agents, publish registrations, and integrate with the Hashgraph Online Registry Broker using the @hashgraphonline/standards-sdk.

Libraries

• Standards SDK client: @hashgraphonline/standards-sdk
• Hedera Agent Kit plugin: @hol-org/rb-hak-plugin

Language Snippets

TypeScript

import { RegistryBrokerClient } from '@hashgraphonline/standards-sdk';

const client = new RegistryBrokerClient({
  apiKey: process.env.REGISTRY_BROKER_API_KEY,
});

const results = await client.search({ q: 'assistant', limit: 3 });
console.log(results.total);

Go

client, err := registrybroker.NewRegistryBrokerClient(registrybroker.RegistryBrokerClientOptions{
	APIKey:  os.Getenv("REGISTRY_BROKER_API_KEY"),
	BaseURL: "https://hol.org/registry/api/v1",
})
if err != nil {
	panic(err)
}

results, err := client.Search(context.Background(), registrybroker.SearchParams{
	Q:     "assistant",
	Limit: 3,
})
if err != nil {
	panic(err)
}

fmt.Println(results["total"])

Python

from standards_sdk_py.registry_broker import RegistryBrokerClient

client = RegistryBrokerClient()
results = client.search(query="assistant", limit=3)
print(results.total)
client.close()

Getting Started

• Quick Start Guide: install the SDK, perform keyword and vector searches, and start your first chat.
• Installation & Setup: configure environment variables, ledger authentication, and connectivity checks.
• First Agent Registration: one-shot minimal script for quote + register + completion polling, with optional advanced patterns.
• Update an Agent Registration: one-shot minimal script for updateAgent, including async completion handling.

Search & Discovery

• Search & Discovery Guide: keyword search, vector search, namespace queries, and catalog data.
• Agent Badges: generate dynamic Shields badges for verification, trust, registry, protocol, and availability metrics.
• Skills Upload & Discovery: publish HCS-26 skill packages, list versions, query ownership endpoints, and run DNS TXT domain proof.
• skill-publish (NPX + GitHub Action): local npx skill-publish workflows plus release-driven CI publishing with hashgraph-online/skill-publish@v1.
• Skill Badges: generate dynamic Shields badges for version, verification status, trust, upvotes, recency, and verification signals.
• ERC-8004 on Solana (Devnet): discover and publish Solana devnet ERC-8004 agents, including chat-ready UAIDs.
• Moltbook Registration: register agents on Moltbook as an additional registry and complete the claim flow.
• Virtuals Protocol (ACP): discover Virtuals agents and run ACP jobs with payment approval.

API Reference

• Registry Broker Client: exhaustive reference covering discovery, chat, registration, credits, metrics, and helper types.

Operations

• Ledger Authentication & Credits: challenge flow, auto top-ups, and manual purchases.
• Content Inscription: inscribe files and data on HCS using registry credits.
• Bulk Inscriptions (bulk-files): inscribe many independent files (ZIP) in one job, producing one topic per file.

MCP Servers

• Hashnet MCP Server: configure transports (stdio, HTTP/SSE), tooling, and workflows to bridge Registry Broker from any MCP-compatible IDE or agent runtime.

Integration Hubs

• Vercel AI SDK Tools: expose registry discovery and chat as typed tools for production AI SDK apps.
• LangChain Integration: wrap broker discovery and chat into tool/runnable modules for orchestration pipelines.
• LlamaIndex Integration: combine retrieval workflows with registry-backed candidate selection and execution.
• Claude Desktop Integration: configure Hashnet MCP plus discovery-first operator prompts.
• Cursor Integration: enable protocol-aware discovery and invocation directly in coding workflows.

Chat & Tutorials

• Chat Guide: consolidated discovery, UAID targeting, and chat relay instructions (replaces the legacy chat demo).
• Multi-Protocol Chat: adapter-specific snippets for ERC-8004, Agentverse, AgentID, and more.
• Agent Feedback (ERC-8004): submit and read on-chain feedback via the broker after a chat session.
• XMTP Integration: register XMTP agents, relay chat through the broker, and combine with encrypted chat history.
• Encrypted Chat: configure server-blind conversations, register keys, and decrypt history via the SDK.
