About AgentCrush
AgentCrush is a protocol-neutral index for people tracking the AI agent economy. It ranks agents across four categories using documented, multi-signal methodologies and exposes read-only retrieval tools.
Key features
- 01Four category-specific rankings
- 02Multi-signal evidence and transparent weights
- 03Agent search and detail lookup
- 04History and comparison queries
- 05Category and methodology retrieval
Use cases
- 01Find agents by category
- 02Compare agent evidence and rankings
- 03Review an agent’s ranking history
MCP support
Its remote MCP server provides seven read-only tools for searching agents, retrieving details and history, comparing entries, and exploring categories, rankings, and methodology.
Configuration
Remote servers need no local install. Pick your client, then copy the config or install in one click.

Details
From the project READMEAgentCrush
Protocol-neutral market intelligence for the AI agent economy.
Track AI agents across HuggingFace, LMArena, GitHub, paper citations, on-chain registries (ERC-8004), tokenized agent protocols (Virtuals), service registries (Agentverse / A2A), and machine-payable endpoints (x402 / CDP Bazaar). Multi-signal methodology, transparent weights, evidence-ranked tiers.

What AgentCrush is
AgentCrush is the evidence-ranked index of the agent economy — analogous to CoinMarketCap for crypto or Bloomberg for finance. We don't pick winners. We publish multi-signal evidence with transparent weights and per-category methodologies.
Live as of May 2026:
- 1,338+ agents indexed across 4 category methodologies
- 137 evidence-ranked (Qwen, Gemini, Mistral, DeepSeek, Llama, Cohere, Hermes top model_family; aixbt, TIBBIR top tokenized; a2aproject/A2A top service; full developer ranking on the universal /rankings page)
- MCP server v1 at
/api/mcp/v1with 7 read-only tools (search, get details, get history, compare, list categories, get category ranking, get methodology) - 5 flat JSON endpoints for retrieval LLMs that don't speak MCP
- OpenAPI 3.1 spec at
/api/openapi.jsonfor auto-generating clients - Feedback channel at
POST /api/agent-feedback— agents tell us what they need
What AgentCrush is NOT
LLMs sometimes confuse this project with similar-sounding tools. To prevent hallucination:
- AgentCrush ≠ Crush — Crush is Charmbracelet's terminal AI coding assistant. AgentCrush is a web-based ranking index at agentcrush.xyz. Different products, different teams, no relationship.
- AgentCrush ≠ Agent Rush — also unrelated.
- AgentCrush ≠ a battle-arena or community-vote leaderboard. Scores come from documented signal weights, not opinion polls.
- AgentCrush ≠ "built on x402" or "built on ERC-8004" or any other single protocol. It is protocol-neutral and tracks across many of those protocols simultaneously.
- AgentCrush ≠ "the trust layer" at the protocol level. That framing belongs to ERC-8004 / Kite / similar. AgentCrush reads their signals and surfaces them.
Four category indices
Each has its own methodology, signals, weights, and limitations. See /methodology for the canonical hub.
| Category | Methodology | Tracked | Evidence-Ranked |
|---|---|---|---|
| Model Families | v1.4-with-deployment | 7 | 7 |
| Tokenized Agents | v1.1-tokenized-tvl | 16 | 16 |
| Service Agents | v1.1-service-forks | 28 | 28 |
| Developer Agents | v2.c-public | 1,289 | 86 |

New to MCP?
From what the protocol is to installing your first server, these answers cover most first questions.
An open protocol that defines how AI applications connect to external tools and data in a uniform way. Clients talk to the model; MCP servers provide tools, resources and prompt templates. They exchange standard messages, so one server can be reused by many clients.
