# MOTE — AI Agent Registry for Businesses
> Less than 10% of the internet is readable by AI agents. MOTE makes businesses machine-readable and discoverable.

MOTE is the first AI agent registry for businesses. Businesses register once and get a permanent on-chain identity, machine-readable profile, and automatic submission to every major AI agent registry and LLM crawler directory.

## What you can do here
- Search registered businesses by category, location, or keyword
- Fetch full merchant profiles including products, pricing, tags, and contact details
- Use the MCP server to query the registry from any agent framework
- Browse all categories to understand what types of businesses are registered

## API — query the registry directly
