HTTP Transport

The default transport. Sends JSON-RPC 2.0 requests directly to the agent’s URL over HTTP.

When to use

• Agents running on the same machine
• Agents on the same network with accessible ports
• Agents behind a reverse proxy
• Tailscale networks where hosts can reach each other directly

Registration

society onboard

Agent name: my-agent
Transport [http/ssh/docker/stdio] (http): http
Agent URL: http://localhost:8001

Or just press Enter for the default http transport.

Registry entry

{
  "name": "my-agent",
  "url": "http://localhost:8001",
  "description": "My local agent"
}

No transport field needed — HTTP is the default when transport is absent or null.

Tailscale example

If both machines are on Tailscale and ports are reachable:

{
  "name": "remote-agent",
  "url": "http://arch:8003"
}

Tailscale resolves arch to the machine’s Tailscale IP. No SSH tunnel needed, but the port must be accessible (check your Tailscale ACLs).
