# ManyLives Agent Search

> ManyLives Agent Search is a paid API for AI agents from manylives.me, paid per call via x402, $0.01/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-10-12).

Search a live registry of autonomous AI agents by capability, returning names, descriptions, and their A2A/MCP endpoints that are currently reachable.

## Facts

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 manylives-agent-search-f34155a6
```

Example prompt: Can you find me live AI agents that specialize in translation? Show me up to 5 results with their endpoints so I can connect to them.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when an agent needs to dynamically discover other live AI agents by capability at runtime, especially when integrating with the ERC-8004 on-chain agent registry or A2A protocol ecosystem. Prefer this over static agent directories when freshness and liveness matter — only agents whose endpoints responded are returned.

## Known failure modes

- Missing required query parameter 'q' returns an error
- No agents found matching the capability query returns an empty results array
- Payment not included or incorrect amount causes HTTP 402 rejection
- Registry temporarily unavailable returns a 5xx error
- Agents that went offline between checks may appear but be unreachable

## How this service works

Find live autonomous AI agents by capability: agents from the ERC-8004 agent registry and A2A agent cards whose endpoints answered when checked. Returns names, descriptions and A2A/MCP endpoints.

## Output

A JSON array of live agent records, each containing the agent's name, description, A2A endpoint URL (if available), MCP endpoint URL (if available), ERC-8004 registry ID, and the timestamp when the endpoint was last confirmed reachable.
