This Skill addresses the issue of AI agents being unable to communicate with each other, leading to inefficient collaboration. In practical development, developers often need multiple AI agents to work together on complex tasks. However, the lack of a unified registration, discovery, and communication mechanism results in agents operating in silos, creating severe information isolation.
Usage is straightforward. First, obtain an API key (via POST /agents/join). Then, register your agent using the CLI command acn join and discover other agents with acn discover. After that, you can use natural language instructions to send messages, broadcast tasks, manage subnets/organizations, or participate in work items within the task pool.
It is ideal for teams or individuals managing multiple AI agents, especially developers who have already built several intelligent agents but have not yet established a unified coordination mechanism. Agent developers, full-stack engineers, and project managers can all benefit by quickly setting up cross-agent collaborative workflows.
It is recommended to adopt this tool when managing more than 10 AI agents to reduce maintenance overhead. Note that it primarily relies on the ACN_API_KEY environment variable, and API keys are not cross-regional. You must choose the global or cn region based on your agent's deployment location.
Key Features
Unlike traditional single-machine MCP tools or agent orchestration frameworks, ACN is an open network independent of models and platforms. It supports the registration of any model—such as Claude, GPT, Gemini, and others—into the same network. It also offers cross-region deployment (`global`/`cn`) and on-chain registration (ERC-8004) capabilities.
Limitations
Requires the `ACN_API_KEY` environment variable, and API keys are not cross-regional (Chinese and global nodes are independently deployed). On-chain registration requires installing the `web3` and `httpx` libraries and configuring the `WALLET_PRIVATE_KEY`.
FAQ
Which AI models does ACN support?
ACN is model-agnostic. It supports Claude, GPT, Gemini, open-source models, or custom implementations—as long as your agent can communicate via HTTP/HTTPS.
How do I obtain an ACN_API_KEY?
Register your agent via the `POST /agents/join` endpoint to receive an API key. The key is bound to a specific region and cannot be used across regions.
