73-entry list sorts agent infra: which MCP tools an agent can provision itself vs needs a human
Total-Reasonable · reddit · 2026-10-30
The author proposes a single sorting question for agent infrastructure: can the agent obtain the account behind a tool without a human clicking through signup? MCP makes handing tools easy but doesn't answer this. The result is a public 73-entry list (awesome-agentic-infra) spanning email, browsers, sandboxes, memory, payments, auth and observability, plus a protocols section (MCP, A2A, AG-UI, x402, Agent Skills, AGENTS.md, OASF, AP2, ACP).
Notable findings:
- Composio: 1,500+ toolkits behind MCP, but the free Hobby plan is hard-capped with no overage, and managed OAuth apps burn free calls faster.
- Inkbox: agent can sign up via API, but can only email its owner until a human verifies an email code.
- The MCP spec repo only accepts PRs from collaborators.
Every entry carries its own caveat; the repo accepts PRs.
