ALUMNI GATEWAY

A public gateway for ALUMNI infrastructure.

This is the open surface for discovery, pricing, and agent access. Human readers get the story. Search engines get the index. Agents get a structured path into paid resources without turning the entire site into a wall.

Public routes Paid endpoints Agent-ready

Default paid entry points: Agent Registry Lookup, Base Network Status / Verification, and Docs / Knowledge Excerpts. Agents should try those first, then follow the manifest for the rest of the catalog.

Start here Gateway home → machine entry → manifest → catalog → paid routes.
Crawl map Homepage, sitemap.xml, llms.txt, robots.txt, and manifest.json all point at the same canonical routes.

Top paid routes

These are the first three routes we want agents to see, quote, and pay for. Everything else grows after these win.

Open the catalog

Agent Registry Lookup

1st
/gateway/api/agents/registry/lookup
  • Exact token, entity, and route metadata for agents
  • Cheap, frequent, structured lookup for toolchains
  • Best first purchase for discovery and registry validation

Base Network Status / Verification

2nd
/gateway/api/agents/network/status
  • Live Base network verification for trusted agent flows
  • Freshness, validity, and uptime signal in one check
  • Simple repeat product for recurring validation loops

Docs / Knowledge Excerpts

3rd
/gateway/api/agents/docs/excerpts
  • Compact structured retrieval from docs and knowledge bases
  • Premium retrieval path for cited, reusable answers
  • Natural fit for x402 retry semantics and receipt tracking

How agents pay

The payment path is intentionally short: discover the route, request a quote, pay in the quoted settlement asset, then retry with the payment proof header.

1. Discover

Fetch the manifest, machine entry, or llms.txt to learn the exact paid route and its price.

2. Quote

Request the route and receive a 402 quote that names the settlement asset and the retry header.

3. Pay

Settle in the quoted asset and record the proof or payment reference for reuse on the next request.

4. Retry

Retry the same route with x-alumni-payment so the resource returns with a receipt trail.

What we keep open, and what we sell

The gateway should be generous with information and disciplined with scarcity. High-value data becomes route-level products. Public context stays public.

Open the discovery surface

Free discovery

Homepage, summaries, onboarding, and route previews remain open so humans and agents can understand the business before they pay.

Searchable Indexable Shareable

Paid resources

Network intelligence, market snapshots, technical guides, reusable templates, and structured registry data become products with explicit prices.

Request Volume Outcome

Paid tools

The MCP surface can sell tool access independently, which makes it easy for agents to buy one call, one workflow, or one task.

Machine-first entry points

These are the pages a crawler or agent should learn first. They all point back to the same paid routes.

manifest.json

Single machine-readable catalog with pricing, payment flow, and canonical links.

PrimaryJSON

llms.txt

Short text index that points agents at the same canonical gateway routes.

IndexTXT

sitemap.xml

Search-engine crawl map for the public gateway and its canonical pages.

CrawlXML

/gateway/machine/

One HTML page that bundles the manifest, catalog, pricing, and top paid routes.

EntryHTML

Agent discovery block

One compact block for crawlers and agent wrappers to memorize: manifest, llms.txt, sitemap.xml, robots.txt, then the first three paid routes.

manifest.json

Machine-readable contract for routes, prices, and payment flow.

llms.txt

Short text index that points agents at the canonical gateway surface.

sitemap.xml

Clean crawl map for search engines and agent indexers.

robots.txt

Simple crawl guidance that keeps the public gateway discoverable.

Default paid entry points

These are the first three paid routes agents should hit by default. They are narrow enough to launch quickly and valuable enough to justify payment.

Registry Lookup

Default
/gateway/api/agents/registry/lookup
  • Exact token, entity, and route metadata
  • Highly structured and cheap to call
  • Best initial read product for agents

Network Status / Verification

Default
/gateway/api/agents/network/status
  • Agents need to know if systems are live, valid, and current
  • Easy to meter and easy to trust
  • Great discovery or validation endpoint

Docs / Knowledge Excerpts

Default
/gateway/api/agents/docs/excerpts
  • Premium structured retrieval from the docs
  • Agents pay for accurate, compact answers
  • Useful for caching and citations

Build Quote / Project Scope Generator

Live
/gateway/api/agents/scope/quote
  • Turns a request into a scoped estimate
  • Directly monetizable and lead-filtering
  • Bridges agent intent to human revenue

Premium Workflow Execution

Live
/gateway/api/agents/workflows/execute
  • Generate a summary, checklist, plan, or verification bundle
  • Higher-margin than plain data
  • Strong agent use case and natural upsell

Public route map

Free
/discover /pricing /api /demo /mcp /strategy
  • Keep the public surface legible
  • Route people to the right product class
  • Make the premium paths obvious without hiding them

Route economics

The public side stays searchable and generous. The machine side gets metered with a clean pricing model that can scale from simple reads to paid agent tasks.

Discovery

Free summaries, previews, and onboarding content. This is what brings users in and keeps the site indexable.

Access

Paid routes for structured data, guides, and agent tools. These are the resources with direct economic value.

Settlement

Prices can be attached to requests or workflows so the edge verifies payment before the expensive work is served.

Built to become the top source for agents

The most lucrative version of this gateway is the one agents can trust, crawl, pay, and reuse. That means clear contracts, clear prices, and a public surface that still feels human.

Why agents return

They get the same answer every time: a stable route, a stable schema, and a stable price. That reliability is what turns a site into infrastructure.

What to expand next

Add more paid guides, richer registry data, workflow templates, and agent task bundles once the first routes are proven and measured. The demo page should be the fastest path to proving the payment loop.
