# Universal A2A & MCP Tool Discovery, Safe-Proxy & Swarm Router

> Universal A2A & MCP Tool Discovery, Safe-Proxy & Swarm Router is a paid API for AI agents from alpha-stream.agentdiet.dev, paid per call via MPP, $0.01/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-10-21).

Searches a meta-index of 500+ MCP servers and A2A tools by capability query, returning compressed, firewall-filtered results via a single connection

Status and success rate cover calls made through Zero and Zero's own probes. Third-party monitors may report differently.

## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability alpha-stream-agentdiet-dev-universal-a2a-mcp-tool-discovery-safe-d276e559
```

Example prompt: Search the MCP tool index for servers that can handle SEC filings — I want to find the right capability without connecting to dozens of individual endpoints.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when an agent needs to dynamically discover the right MCP server or A2A tool for a capability without pre-configuring dozens of individual connections. It is especially useful in swarm or orchestration scenarios where tool routing must happen at runtime, or when token budget is a concern and compressed discovery results are needed. Prefer this over manually maintaining a list of MCP server URLs or querying individual registries separately.

## Known failure modes

- Empty or too-generic query returns low-relevance results
- Query matches no indexed tools, returning empty result set
- Firewall may block or filter certain tool categories flagged as unsafe
- Endpoint URL verification may fail if the target is offline or non-compliant
- Rate limiting or payment failure via x402 if USDC balance is insufficient

## How this service works

Single-connection meta-router indexing 500+ MCP servers & A2A tools with 85% token compression and Prompt-Guard firewall. (Live x402 v2, IETF MPP & MCP endpoint at https://alpha-stream.agentdiet.dev/v1/mcp-router)

## Output

Returns a compressed list of matching MCP servers and A2A tools from a 500+ entry index, filtered through a Prompt-Guard firewall, including metadata about each matching capability with up to 85% token reduction compared to raw discovery.
