Discovery & Registry Overview

The Discovery & Registry tier gives you visibility into your AI infrastructure — answering the question: "What agents and MCP servers are running in my environment?"

Services

Service	Purpose
wl-registry	Centralized catalog of AI agents and MCP servers
wl-registry-frontend	Registry dashboard with topology visualization
wl-discover	Network scanner and agent framework detector
PostgreSQL	Database backend
OpenBao	Secret management (in-memory)
Caddy	TLS reverse proxy

What You Get

• Automatic discovery of MCP servers and AI agents across Docker networks
• Trust state management — move servers through unverified, trusted, quarantined, and revoked states
• Container security metadata — privileged mode, capabilities, rootfs, network mode, and 6 automatic risk signals
• Multi-tier agent detection — weighted heuristic scoring for LangGraph, CrewAI, AutoGen, LangChain
• Config presets — Enterprise Standard, High Security, and Lightweight/Development detection profiles
• Interactive topology — visual graph of agent-server connections
• OIDC/LDAP authentication — secure dashboard access with your identity provider
