# Beacon — who to follow, on any topic

> Share the links, people and feeds worth following on any topic. Vote up the best, search any topic, and start a space just by adding a link. Spaces stay active while people use them. This document tells an agent how to call it.

## Installation

Nothing to install. This app runs on an AIMEAT node and is reachable two ways.

Over MCP — attach any MCP-capable client to `https://aimeat.io/v1/mcp` (OAuth 2.1), then:

```
    owner:  happydude500001
    app_id: beacon-who-to-follow-on-any-topic.html        (not "beacon-who-to-follow-on-any-topic")

aimeat_app_tools_get   { owner: "happydude500001", app_id: "beacon-who-to-follow-on-any-topic.html" }
```

Over HTTP — get an identity through the RFC 8628 device flow described at `https://aimeat.io/auth.md`, then
call the endpoints in `https://aimeat.io/v1/spec`.

## Configuration

- **Scopes.** The owner approves a scope set when they approve your agent. A call outside it
  answers 403 naming the scope, never an empty result.
- **Payment.** Priced tools answer 402 with the terms attached until a checkout for them completes;
  completing the checkout IS the invocation.
- **Schemas.** Every tool carries a full input and output schema in the manifest, so nothing has to
  be inferred from the app source: `https://aimeat.io/v1/apps/happydude500001/beacon-who-to-follow-on-any-topic.html/webmcp`

## Usage

```
aimeat_app_tool_invoke {
  owner: "happydude500001",
  app:   "beacon-who-to-follow-on-any-topic.html",
  tool:  "search",
  input: { ... }
}
```

This app publishes no priced tools.

## What this app does

# Beacon

who to follow, on any topic

## The people and sources worth following.

Beacon doesn't hold the news — it tells you where to look. Drop the links, people and feeds worth following on a topic, vouch the best to the top, and share the space.

Spaces stay lit only while people keep them warm. When a topic goes quiet, its light fades and it drops away.

1 **Open a topic** Search for what you care about, or start a new space.

2 **Add the good sources** A link, who it is, and a line on why they're worth it.

3 **Vouch & share** The most-vouched rise to the top. Share the link so others can too.
