Add Desvela ARD Registry to agent-finders.json#4
Conversation

Some context up front, since I saw the same question on #2 and Desvela is not a name anyone here has reason to know. What it indexes. A weekly crawl of the Tranco top-100K, four surfaces per domain: Both spec roles. As a host, Both sides pass the spec's own conformance CLI with 0 errors: What it returns, and what it does not. Results are entries parsed from published manifests, carrying a relevance score and nothing that resembles a trust signal. I do not live-probe endpoints before indexing, so unlike Tiza a returned MCP server is declared rather than verified working. That seems worth stating plainly, given these results land in front of agents. What I do verify is that a surface is genuinely there: sites that answer 200 with HTML on any path are tested against a canary request and excluded, which removed roughly 16% of the apparent publishers. Happy to adjust the description, or to be dropped from the list later if a neutral crawl turns out not to earn its place. That seems easier to find out with it in the menu than by guessing. |
Adds a third Agent Finder to the default menu: the Desvela ARD Registry.
Both finders that ship today (GitHub, Hugging Face) index their own ecosystem. This one is a general crawl of the open web:

Disclosure: I run this registry.
