Hostbrid: agent quick start

This guide and agent-capabilities.json are Hostbrid-specific resources, not an official OpenAI or Anthropic discovery protocol. They connect existing capabilities and grant no permissions.

public-discovery: https://my.hostbrid.com/mcp/public
No account or credentials. Query public guides and current plans through public MCP; confirm pricing and terms on the plan page before purchasing.

public-guides: https://my.hostbrid.com/mcp/guides
Public editorial guides only. No subscription commerce or customer account access.

account: https://my.hostbrid.com/mcp
Customer account: OAuth in compatible clients or Bearer in the Authorization header. The user selects the account and permissions; start with read access. Writes require an account administrator’s authorization.

account-code-mode: https://my.hostbrid.com/mcp?codemode=search_and_execute
Code Mode is available as an optional entry to search and compose operations; it preserves permissions and approvals.

Initialize MCP and use tools/list to discover the current schema. Do not load a manual inventory of hundreds of tools. In Code Mode, discover the operations you need before executing them.

Respect granted permissions and the confirmation required by each operation. Never invent human confirmation. Use idempotency where the operation documents it; do not blindly retry writes after a failure. Report the exact result: a prepared order does not mean payment or a provisioned resource. The user confirms payment in checkout with their own session and card.

Never put keys, tokens or secrets in a URL, public code or logs. Use documented headers or OAuth and retain the ability to revoke access.

Public OpenAPI documentation does not make every REST endpoint anonymous: the REST catalogue requires authentication. Use public MCP to discover plans without an account. Check the current reference before calling an operation.
