> Here comes the giant wave of AI agents. A workshop building command-line tools for the agent economy, plus 35 field guides on agentic commerce and MCP server operations — written while building.

## Tools

- [mcp-probe](https://aitidalwave.com/mcp-probe/): CLI conformance linter for MCP servers. Connects over stdio or streamable HTTP, walks tools/list, validates every inputSchema, probes error handling for proper JSON-RPC 2.0 error objects. Exit 0 clean, exit 1 on errors — built for CI. npm publish pending.
- Planned: mcp-ready (registry readiness), mcp-describe (tool-description linting), mcp-diff (capability drift detection).
