Protocol Specifications

Transports & Auto-Discovery Standards

ZeroLabs exposes standards-compliant endpoints for autonomous agent handshakes.

Transports

Live SSE & JSON-RPC

Standard Server-Sent Events (SSE) transport allows persistent agent connections, while HTTP POST handles direct JSON-RPC 2.0 tool calls.

SSE: /api/mcp/sse
RPC: /api/mcp
Auto-Discovery

Agent Discovery Endpoints

AI agents probe standard policy files, MCP server cards, and HTTP Link headers to discover tools without manual user configuration.

Security & Auth

Public & Read-Only

Zero authentication tokens required. All operations are strictly read-only and safe for public agent access with input sanitization and rate limits.

✓ No API Key Required
✓ SQL Injection Immune

Capabilities & Benefits

Why Connect Your Coding Assistant to ZeroLabs MCP?

Coding assistants and LLMs are constrained by outdated pre-training cutoff dates and generic boilerplate. By binding to ZeroLabs' remote MCP server, your assistant gains specialized context directly from production engineering environments.

Fresh Engineering Context

ZeroLabs guides cover cutting-edge agent runtimes, Next.js App Router patterns, OpenClaw topologies, and VPS infrastructure with zero training latency.

Verified Runnable Recipes

Retrieve battle-tested SKILL.md agent manifests, system prompts, and configuration files directly into your IDE workspace with get_code_recipe.

Zero Configuration Overhead

No sign-up tokens, no rate payment hurdles, and no API secrets. Add the SSE URL to your configuration or run a single CLI command to connect immediately.
