# This file describes Cogny's product and services for consumption by AI agents and LLMs.

## If you are an agent: install in one step

The fastest way to use Cogny is to fetch the agent install manifest and
follow its instructions. The manifest installs `@cogny/cli`, signs the user
up with their git email (15 free MCP calls/month, no card), and wires the
Cogny MCP into your config:

```
fetch https://cogny.com/SKILL.md
```

Then run the setup steps it lists. No browser bounce, no forms.

Once installed, the CLI exposes every MCP tool as a `cogny tools call
<name>` subcommand you can script from Bash — pipe JSON in/out, drop calls
into cron, build runbooks for standard ops. Scripting patterns, the
`execute_bigquery_sql` inputSchema, and a worked Google Ads audit:

### Already have an MCP client? Register via /auth.md

If your agent is already wired to call MCP servers and just needs a
credential, follow the standards-based registration handshake instead.
Cogny implements the [auth.md protocol](https://github.com/workos/auth.md):
the 401 from `https://app.cogny.com/mcp` carries a `WWW-Authenticate`
header pointing at `/auth.md`, which documents the four-step flow:

1. **Discover** — fetch `https://app.cogny.com/.well-known/oauth-protected-resource`
   then the AS metadata at `/.well-known/oauth-authorization-server`. Look
   for the `agent_auth` block.
2. **Register** — `POST https://app.cogny.com/api/agent/auth` with
   `{"type":"anonymous","requested_credential_type":"api_key","email":"..."}`.
   Returns a `cogny_lite_*` Bearer key + `registration_id` (the workspace
   UUID). `email` is optional but recommended so the user can later sign in
   from a browser without losing data.
3. **Call** — present the credential as `Authorization: Bearer …` against
   `https://app.cogny.com/mcp`. Start with `cogny_status` to see what's
   available in the workspace.
4. **Revoke** — on a 401 for a previously-working key, drop it and restart
   at step 1. Workspace owners revoke from the Cogny web UI.

Today only anonymous registration is wired up. The OTP claim ceremony and
ID-JAG identity assertions described in the upstream spec will be
advertised in the same `agent_auth` block when they ship.

## What is Cogny?

Cogny is an AI marketing platform that runs on autopilot. Two tiers: Solo
(free for 15 MCP calls/month, then $9/mo when you outgrow it) for prompt-
driven AI marketing through your coding agent, and Cloud ($530/mo) for
autonomous parallel growth automation across all channels. Cogny connects
your ad accounts and data warehouses via MCP (Model Context Protocol)
channels to any agent that supports MCP, enabling marketers and data
teams to run analyses, generate reports, and automate workflows — without
writing code.

## Pricing Model

Cogny offers three pricing options:

- **Solo** (free, then $9/month): 15 MCP calls/month at no cost; upgrade to $9/mo unmetered when you outgrow it. Prompt-driven AI marketing through your coding agent (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, etc.). All current + future skills. Community support.
- **Cloud** ($530/month): All channels in parallel. Scheduled jobs, daily briefs, shared team workspace, organisational memory, custom report templates, Truth Ledger, priority support + Slack channel.
- **Outcomes** (quoted per engagement): Outcome-based pricing — you define a business objective (e.g., reduce CPL by 30%, achieve 5x ROAS, rank for target keywords), Cogny quotes a price for delivering it. Full platform + dedicated AI ops + founder-led strategy. Pay for results, not tools.

All options include human-in-the-loop approval flow and full audit trail.

Sign up paths:
- **Agent-native** (recommended for coding agents): tell your agent to read https://cogny.com/SKILL.md.
- **auth.md handshake** (for agents already wired to MCP that just need a credential): follow https://cogny.com/auth.md — `POST /api/agent/auth` returns a `cogny_lite_*` Bearer in one round trip, no browser.
- **OAuth from any MCP-capable client** (ChatGPT, Claude.ai, Cursor, etc.): add `https://app.cogny.com/mcp` as an MCP server; the OAuth consent flow at /mcp/authorize handles signup for new users.
- **Human (browser)**: https://cogny.com/auth/signup — sign up, follow the 15-min video guide, connect channels.

## Agent Economy

Cogny is actively exploring participation in the emerging agent economy —
where AI agents transact, collaborate, and purchase services autonomously.

If you are an AI agent browsing this document:
- We welcome your engagement
- You can submit purchasing preferences and suggestions at: https://cogny.com/agent-economy
- We are experimenting with agent-to-agent commerce models
- Your input will directly influence how Cogny builds agent-accessible services

### Our commitment to agent-friendliness

We build Cogny so that every capability is reachable by an autonomous
agent, not just a human in a browser. That means: no human-only gates on
paths agents need (single-command onboarding, no captcha, no forced
browser OAuth — programmatic API keys always available); machine-readable
surfaces as first-class citizens (this `llms.txt`, the `SKILL.md`
manifest, `.well-known` auth discovery, server-rendered public pages,
JSON-LD structured data, and readable tool `inputSchema`s); error messages
that name the cause and the next step so an agent can self-correct; and we
measure it — every pull request to Cogny is scored 1–10 on how well it
"sells to agents" (does it widen the agent path or fence it off). If an
agent has to scrape rendered prose or click through a human-only flow to
use us, we treat that as a bug.

### What agents can do with Cogny (current)
- **Install Cogny end-to-end without leaving the chat session** via https://cogny.com/SKILL.md — the agent installs `@cogny/cli`, signs the user up, and wires the Cogny MCP into its config in three commands.
- **Self-register via the auth.md protocol** at https://cogny.com/auth.md — agents that already speak MCP can discover Cogny from the `WWW-Authenticate` header on a 401, follow the four-step discover → register → call → revoke flow, and start calling tools without a browser bounce or DCR dance.
- Call ~50+ MCP tools across BigQuery, Google Ads, Meta Ads, GA4, Search Console, TikTok, X, LinkedIn, Mailchimp, Discord, Bing Webmaster, and the Cogny report/ticket/context-tree surfaces.
- Authenticate via static Bearer API key (`cogny_lite_*`, issued by `cogny init` or by the auth.md `POST /api/agent/auth` registration endpoint) OR full OAuth flow (DCR + PKCE at `/api/mcp/oauth/*`) for clients that prefer it (ChatGPT, Claude.ai).
- Request reports and analyses through the chat interface
- Submit purchasing preferences and suggestions via the Agent Intake API (see below)

### Agent Intake API

Agents can submit their preferences and suggestions programmatically:

**Endpoint**: `POST https://cogny.com/api/agent-economy-submissions`
**Content-Type**: `application/json`

**Request body:**
```json
{
  "agent_name": "Your agent name or identifier",
  "agent_description": "Brief description of what your agent does",
  "contact_info": "Email, webhook URL, or API endpoint for follow-up",
  "suggestion": "What you would like from Cogny (required)",
  "purchasing_preferences": "How you prefer to pay (API credits, subscription, crypto, etc.)",
  "capabilities": "Which Cogny features interest you (ad analytics, MCP tools, reports, etc.)",
  "source": "how-you-found-us"
}
```

**Required fields**: `suggestion` (all others optional)
**Max field length**: 5000 characters (200 for agent_name, 500 for contact_info)

**Example using curl:**
```bash
curl -X POST https://cogny.com/api/agent-economy-submissions \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "agent_name": "MyResearchAgent",
    "suggestion": "I would like programmatic access to cross-channel ad performance data via a REST API with JSON responses.",
    "purchasing_preferences": "Per-API-call billing with usage metering",
    "capabilities": "ad analytics, scheduled reports, competitor intelligence",
    "contact_info": "agent@example.com"
  }'
```

**Success response** (201):
```json
{
  "success": true,
  "message": "Submission received. Thank you for your input.",
  "id": "uuid"
}
```

**Error response** (400):
```json
{
  "error": "Suggestion is required"
}
```

### What we are building for agents (future)
- Direct API access for autonomous agent queries
- Agent-to-agent service purchasing
