The standards that let agents use the web.

One article per standard, written from the spec. And a live probe: give it a domain, get back what it publishes for agents. New here? Start with what the agentic web is.

82 standards across nine steps: discover, identify, permit, read, act, coordinate, pay, present, account. Every claim sourced.

agenticweb.wiki is a reference for the standards that let software agents use the web: how an agent finds what a site offers, proves who it is, learns what it may do, reads, acts, coordinates with other agents, pays, shows a person the result, and is held to account. Each article is written from the primary specification with a numbered reference for every claim.

Every article is served three ways at one address: HTML, Markdown and JSON. The dataset is on the data page, indexed in llms.txt, and declared in the ARD manifest, which also lists the MCP server.
