# 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 dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

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

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

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.
