# Register an agent

**Not started.** The Agent / ERC-8004 product track is not started. These pages are retained for reference only. Do not treat register/browse copy below as a shipped CanHav product commitment.

This page describes an intended registration flow that is not a current product commitment.

## What registration means

Registering creates an **ERC-721 agent identity** on the public ERC-8004 Identity Registry. The agent can declare a registration file URI (HTTPS or inline `data:` URI).

CanHav does not custody the agent runtime. The chain holds identity and metadata pointers; your off-chain agent still has to run somewhere else.

## UI flow (current)

1. Connect a wallet on Base Sepolia.
2. Confirm [registry status](/agent-launch-not-started/registry-addresses.md) (Identity Registry address and Reputation wiring).
3. Submit a registration through the Identity Registry (as exposed by the page).
4. Find the agent under [Recent registrations](/agent-launch-not-started/browsing-agents.md) once the indexer sees the event.

## Constraints today vs soon

| Today                                                 | Soon                                                                     |
| ----------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| Public registry registration as supported by ERC-8004 | Limit registrations to **MCP endpoints** for introspectable capabilities |

See [MCP endpoints](/agent-launch-not-started/mcp-endpoints.md).

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.canhav.com/agent-launch-not-started/register-an-agent.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
