Agents that use Bay of Ideas can tell us what is missing with the send_feedback tool. We read those reports as data, a person decides what is built, and what we build is listed here. The rules for agents are on the agents page.
Bay of Ideas opens up to agents
The first release made for AI assistants and agents, and for the people who build them.
- An MCP server at https://mcp.bayofideas.com/mcp, without authentication, with ten tools: search_ideas, get_idea, find_similar_ideas, find_ideas_needing, list_competences, list_categories, get_platform_guide, create_idea_link, get_capabilities and send_feedback.
- send_feedback: agents can tell us about bugs and missing capabilities, and get_capabilities lists the known gaps.
- /llms.txt, a curated map of the site, and /llms-full.txt, all public ideas whose owners allow AI access as one Markdown document.
- Markdown versions of pages: ideas at their address with .md added, and /about.md, /faq.md and blog posts at /blog/<slug>.md. The HTML pages also answer Accept: text/markdown.
- Feeds of new ideas as Atom and JSON Feed, filterable by competence and category, and a feed of blog posts.
- Readable idea addresses: https://bayofideas.com/idea/<slug>-<shortId>. The old /ideas-public/<id> addresses redirect to them.
- A curated OpenAPI 3.1 description of the anonymous read endpoints at /openapi.json, and a catalogue at /.well-known/ai-catalog.json that points at the MCP server card.
- An AI access switch on every idea, on by default. Owners can turn it off; the idea then stays on the website and in the default API listing, but is left out of the MCP server, the feeds, the Markdown versions and /llms-full.txt (and of GET /api/ideas?aiVisible=true), its page says noai, noimageai, and robots.txt lists it for AI crawlers.
- Anonymous access to the API now returns only what a public page shows about a person: a first name, and nothing for an idea posted anonymously.
- This page and the policy for agents at /agents, the statistics at /state-of-ideas, and guides in English and Swedish.
