Can an AI agent…
- Message the business?
- No
urbanbrows.com offers agents most of the journey. What's left: messages and payment.
The biggest step: Let agents send you a message (+14).
What's missing
-
Let agents send you a message (+14 points)
Add send_message to your MCP server, or publish an A2A agent card at /.well-known/agent-card.json.
Guide
More
A customer's assistant can ask you a question and come back for your answer, instead of telling them to call.
Publish a door that takes messages: an A2A agent card, a send_message tool on an MCP server, or an agent inbox.
What counts: send_message, contact, ask_question, create_support_ticket, POST /messages. An agent inbox, an A2A agent card, or a tool that sends you a message or opens a support ticket, on an MCP server of your own or one your UCP profile declares as a service. Email, phone, forms and chat widgets are made for people, so they don't count.
-
Let agents pay (+14 points)
Ask your payment provider whether it takes agent payments (a token the person approves, which the agent passes on without seeing a card), and declare it on your own door: in UCP, as a payment handler.
A quick partial step: add paymentAccepted to your business markup, and say in words on your booking or order page how payment happens.
Guide
More
An assistant that knows how payment works can tell its person what happens next; one that can pay finishes the job.
Ask your payment provider whether it takes agent payments (a token the person approves, which the agent passes on without seeing a card), and declare it on a door of your own. Until then, a link to your own checkout counts partly.
What counts: UCP payment handlers, ACP delegated payment, AP2 or x402 on a door, or a pay or checkout tool. paymentAccepted in your markup, payment terms in words or a checkout link count partly.
-
Publish your terms for machines (+5 points)
Write your cancellation, deposit and no-show terms in one plain sentence next to the booking or order button, and on the policy page your footer links to.
Guide
More
Agents check the terms before they commit their person.
What counts: get_policies. MerchantReturnPolicy markup, or a policy page linked from your pages that states its terms in words, such as "free cancellation up to 24 hours before".

Rank
#15 overall
This rank counts every business checked, named on a leaderboard or not; a leaderboard numbers the businesses it names and no others, so a place there can be higher. Ordered by agentic score, then the most recent check. This is not the directory's search order, which nobody can pay to change. Leaderboards
Badge

Put it on your own site if you like; nothing is placed anywhere for you.
Agent-ready businesses are listed in Surfing Dog Search; one whose own inbox answers is listed ahead of the rest, and joining is optional. How the order works
This is not a certification: it is what our crawler read on urbanbrows.com's own site and doors on 2026-10-22, scored by the published rules. Nobody can pay for a score or a place.
Evidence: declared — the business's own site or door says so; tested — our own read of its door saw it listed in the 7 days before this check. We have not tried it.
