The shelftell-your-agent
Tell your agent: one address makes it a car expert.
One string added to an assistant’s connectors, apis.vin/mcp, and the same car question comes back with evidence.
What the film shows.
Every fact on screen is real.
Ask your AI assistant a car question and you get answer-shaped noise: fluent, sourceless, unverifiable. This film adds one string to the assistant’s connectors, apis.vin/mcp, and asks again. No code anywhere in the film. That’s the point.
The connector is keyless: three tools, search, fetch, exec, and the whole technical act takes about eight seconds. Then the same question walks the doors: tool calls on the wire as real MCP JSON, doors answering with evidence, every answer typed; OK, empty, blocked, offer. One connector, different askers: a consumer prices a car, a dealer runs the counter, an analyst decodes a fleet, a creator checks a shelf.
The addresses the film names.
Each one answers at its own address.

For the agent you send.
The agent reads the same record you do.
Same two routes, three representations: the numbers never differ between them.
- Motionsb2aThe buyer is an agent: no human leaf; discover, bind, pay, worst-case cost posted before the call
- Machine surfaces/llms.txt/icp.json/.well-known/agents.json
- One MCP serverapis.vin/mcp serves the whole platform: every door’s tools in one server, each result carrying its door’s URL.
- AttributionX-Client-Type: html | md | json | mcp names which reader arrived; it never changes the record.
- The gateNo gate on this door's two routes: keyless reads, no account. Gated actions elsewhere return a typed OFFER or a NEEDS_HUMAN handoff, never a dead end.
