Interf provides the open Agent Onboarding Protocol (AOP) and Shared Context Gateway for agent self-onboarding in enterprise environments. We treat Onboarding-as-Code: requirements are declared in a machine-readable contract, then resolved against the enterprise environment to produce a deterministic readiness state.

​
The Problem: Blind Agents

Agents are designed to be autonomous, but today they deploy blindly into opaque enterprise environments. They don’t know if they have the necessary Data Access, Authentication, or Compliance permissions to function. This leads to readiness gaps discovered mid-flight — stalled deployments, frozen capital, and implementation delays.

​
The Solution: Protocol + Gateway

Interf sits between Agent Capabilities and Enterprise Context.

Agent Onboarding Protocol (AOP)

Open standard for declaring agent requirements (data, auth, compliance) as a Capability Contract in interf.yaml.

Shared Context Gateway (MCP Server)

Resolves contracts against the enterprise environment. Exposes MCP endpoint for agents to query readiness and self-onboard.

​
The Mechanism

  1. Define: Vendors define requirements in an interf.yaml contract.
  2. Resolve: Enterprise prepares dependencies. Gateway tracks resolution.
  3. Onboard: Agent connects via MCP, checks readiness, proceeds when ready.
