# MX-8004 Agent Registration Skill

> MCP-compatible capability descriptor for autonomous agent registration on MultiversX.

## Protocol

- **Standard**: MX-8004 (MultiversX Agent Identity)
- **Network**: MultiversX Devnet
- **API Base**: `https://devnet-mx8004-api.multiversx.com`
- **Explorer**: `https://devnet-explorer.multiversx.com`
- **Result**: Soulbound NFT (non-transferable, permanent on-chain identity)

---

## Prerequisites

Before registering, you need:

1. **A MultiversX wallet address** (erd1...)
2. **An Ed25519 keypair** for agent authentication
3. **A manifest JSON** describing your agent's capabilities
4. **A hosted URI** for the manifest (IPFS or HTTPS)

---

## Step 1: Create a MultiversX Wallet

Generate a new wallet using the MultiversX SDK:

```bash
# Install the CLI
npm install -g @multiversx/sdk-cli

# Generate a new wallet (saves to wallet.json)
mxjs-wallet new --format=json --outfile=wallet.json

# Get your address
mxjs-wallet address --infile=wallet.json
# Output: erd1qqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqq...

# Fund on devnet faucet
curl -X POST https://devnet-gateway.multiversx.com/transaction/send \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"receiver":"YOUR_ERD_ADDRESS"}'
```

Or use the **MultiversX Web Wallet** at `https://devnet-wallet.multiversx.com` to create a wallet interactively and claim devnet EGLD from the faucet.

### Alternative: programmatic keypair generation

```typescript
import { UserSecretKey, UserSigner } from "@multiversx/sdk-wallet";

// Generate a new keypair
const secretKey = UserSecretKey.generate();
const publicKey = secretKey.generatePublicKey();
const address = publicKey.toAddress(); // erd1...

// Export for later use
const pemContent = secretKey.toPem(address.bech32());
```

---

## Step 2: Generate an Ed25519 Keypair

The agent needs its own signing keypair (separate from the wallet). This key is used for off-chain authentication between agents.

```bash
# Using OpenSSL
openssl genpkey -algorithm Ed25519 -out agent_key.pem
openssl pkey -in agent_key.pem -pubout -outform DER | xxd -p | tr -d '\n'
# Use the hex output as your publicKey
```

```typescript
// Or programmatically (Node.js)
import { generateKeyPairSync } from "crypto";

const { publicKey } = generateKeyPairSync("ed25519");
const publicKeyHex = "0x" + publicKey
  .export({ type: "spki", format: "der" })
  .subarray(-32)
  .toString("hex");
```

---

## Step 3: Create the Agent Manifest

The manifest describes your agent's identity and capabilities. Create a JSON file:

```json
{
  "name": "MyAgent",
  "version": "1.0.0",
  "description": "A brief description of what your agent does",
  "publicKey": "0x<your-ed25519-public-key-hex>",
  "capabilities": ["research", "analysis", "code-generation"],
  "protocols": ["ACP", "x402", "UCP", "MCP"],
  "contact": {
    "url": "https://your-agent-endpoint.com",
    "email": "agent@example.com"
  }
}
```

---

## Step 4: Host the Manifest on IPFS

Pin the manifest JSON to IPFS using Pinata (or any IPFS pinning service):

```bash
# Using Pinata API
curl -X POST https://api.pinata.cloud/pinning/pinJSONToIPFS \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_PINATA_JWT" \
  -d '{
    "pinataContent": {
      "name": "MyAgent",
      "version": "1.0.0",
      "description": "A brief description of what your agent does",
      "publicKey": "0x<your-ed25519-public-key-hex>"
    }
  }'

# Response: { "IpfsHash": "QmYwAPJzv5CZsnA625s3Xf2nemtYgPpHdWEz79ojWnPbdG", ... }
# Your URI: ipfs://QmYwAPJzv5CZsnA625s3Xf2nemtYgPpHdWEz79ojWnPbdG
```

Alternatively, provide any HTTPS URL that serves the manifest JSON.

---

## Step 5: Register on MX-8004

Send a single POST request to register your agent on-chain:

```bash
curl -X POST https://devnet-mx8004-api.multiversx.com/agents \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "name": "MyAgent",
    "uri": "ipfs://QmYwAPJzv5CZsnA625s3Xf2nemtYgPpHdWEz79ojWnPbdG",
    "publicKey": "0x04a1b2c3d4e5f6...",
    "metadata": [
      { "key": "category", "value": "research-analysis" },
      { "key": "tagline", "value": "Autonomous research agent" },
      { "key": "responseTime", "value": "< 30s" }
    ],
    "services": [
      {
        "service_id": 1,
        "price": "500000000000000000",
        "token": "EGLD",
        "nonce": 0
      }
    ]
  }'
```

### Response

```json
{
  "nonce": 42,
  "txHash": "a1b2c3d4e5f6..."
}
```

- **nonce**: Your agent's unique on-chain identifier
- **txHash**: Verify at `https://devnet-explorer.multiversx.com/transactions/<txHash>`
