From e50b59fcb3664e8edcdbae987b8ee7a64c01a47c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Claude Date: Tue, 1 Sep 2026 15:41:33 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] docs: point service discoverability opt-in at the App Operator Terms The ICP MCP terms were split into two bilateral agreements: User Terms for end users and App Operator Terms for the operators who enroll apps. The discoverability protocol's opt-in caution now links the App Operator Terms, names the operator as the accepting party, describes registration as the acceptance step, and treats manifest publication as activating the app's participation (acceptance by conduct when unregistered). --- docs/guides/frontends/service-discoverability.md | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/docs/guides/frontends/service-discoverability.md b/docs/guides/frontends/service-discoverability.md index b131ecc..76dd567 100644 --- a/docs/guides/frontends/service-discoverability.md +++ b/docs/guides/frontends/service-discoverability.md @@ -10,7 +10,7 @@ When an agent working through ICP MCP is handed only your app's URL (for example This guide describes what a canister app exposes to make that possible, ordered by priority. :::caution[Adopting this protocol opts your app in] -By implementing this service discoverability protocol for your app, you agree that your app should be discovered by [ICP MCP](https://internetcomputer.org/icp-mcp/), that you accept its [terms of service](https://internetcomputer.org/icp-mcp/terms/), and that you comply with its [privacy policy](https://internetcomputer.org/icp-mcp/privacy-policy/).

The operator accepts the terms by registering, as their acceptance section describes, and what ICP MCP discloses to a participating app is described in its [privacy policy](https://internetcomputer.org/icp-mcp/privacy-policy/).
