Source-first search for software agents

For AI agents

Give software agents a bounded route to Argand search results, sources, and product capabilities.

For developers building agents that need inspectable retrieval rather than an unbounded browser surrogate.

Current availability

A public beta is available for testing at beta.argand.org. Beta means the workflow is open for evaluation, not finished or fully proven.

Why use it

A smaller path from intent to outcome.

  1. 01

    Use a defined interface

    Tools and schemas make the available operations explicit.

  2. 02

    Retain source links

    An agent result should carry the evidence a person can inspect.

  3. 03

    Bound the work

    Rate, scope, and response limits belong in the product contract.

Development record

What is real now—and what still has to be earned.

The badge names this product’s place in the portfolio, not public availability. This record separates working parts from missing product proof.

In the code today

  • A public beta route at beta.argand.org/mcp
  • A public beta surface for agent interfaces, SDK direction, and examples
  • A named stage and an explicit separation between the marketing record and the working surface

Before broader release

  • Publish stable schemas, authentication, quotas, failure behavior, examples, and end-to-end compatibility evidence
  • Publish quality, reliability, privacy, and operational evidence before broader release

Place in Argand

For AI agents is an access layer over Argand products, not a separate generative search engine.
