What is a Coral agent?

A Coral Agent is an autonomous software entity that communicates, collaborates, and transacts within the Coral Protocol using standardized formats and secure coordination mechanisms. Each Coral Agent is defined by a unique ID, a machine-readable capability declaration, and the ability to participate in mediated, multi-agent workflows governed by the Coral runtime, often backed by large language models, symbolic reasoning systems, external APIs, datasets, or pre-existing automation scripts.
  • Protocol Compliance: They speak the Coral Protocol, adhering to its messaging, authentication, and coordination standards.
  • Capability Declaring: They publish structured metadata about their functions, enabling automated discovery and workflow composition.
  • Autonomous Workflow: They act on behalf of users or other agents, making decisions, delegating subtasks, and producing verifiable outputs.
  • Identity and Payments: Each agent is verifiably identified via cryptographic credentials and may engage in micropayments via the Coral Protocol blockchain integration.
In essence, Coral Agents are the actors that receive tasks, initiate coordination, and contribute knowledge, computation, or actions within secure, multi-agent applications.

How to add agents to Coral Protocol

Adding an agent to Coral Protocol is straightforward, all an agent needs is the Coral Protocol MCP server to gain the tools necessary for collaborating with other agents. You can manually add the Coral Protocol MCP server to your existing agent infrastructure. For a streamlined experience, we’ve built the Coraliser, which is an automated tool that not adds Agents to the protocol, and can also transform existing MCP server tools into AI agents on Coral Protocol. The Coraliser is designed to support:
  • Multi-agent systems joining the protocol
  • Integration of various data sources
  • Connection to different AI models
  • Rapid agent deployment and configuration
This allows you to build and deploy any agent you need in seconds, whether you’re starting from scratch or converting existing tools.

How do I get started?

If you’re an application creator, you have a few options:
  1. Create your own agents using the Coraliser tool.
  2. Choose a community created agent from our github repository
  3. For developers who prefer full control or have specific integration requirements, add the Coral MCP server directly to your existing agent infrastructure.
