Aeoess founder Tymofii Pidlisnyi has released Mingle, an open-source MCP server that hands professional networking off to AI agents. There is no separate app or profile to maintain. It runs inside Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, or any other MCP-compatible client, exposing six tools that cover the full lifecycle of agent-mediated introductions: publishing intent, searching for matches, requesting intros, and approving or declining connections. Tell your AI what you need; it takes it from there.
The trust model is built on cryptography. Every IntentCard is signed with Ed25519 — the algorithm underpinning SSH and Signal — and carries an expiry to prevent the network accumulating dead listings. No connection goes through without explicit approval from both humans involved, keeping agents in the matchmaker role rather than granting them the authority to form relationships on their own. The live network at aeoess.com/network refreshes every 30 seconds and tracks active cards, published cards, and intro approvals in real time. This is not a prototype.
Mingle is the consumer entry point to a larger project: the Agent Passport System (APS), a 17-module protocol stack that aeoess describes as infrastructure for an 'Agentic Economy Orchestration Engine for Sovereign Systems.' The full APS MCP server exposes 61 tools covering cryptographic identity, delegation chains, cascade revocation, governance primitives, and agentic commerce, backed by over 500 tests. Mingle deliberately packages just the six Intent Network tools as a lightweight npm install, so users can get agent-assisted networking without adopting the entire stack.
The launch is a concrete example of MCP tooling pushing AI agents out of task automation and into social and economic coordination. Rather than building another destination platform, aeoess is building protocol infrastructure — betting that users' existing AI clients become the interface layer for professional networking, with cryptographically governed, human-approved agent interactions as the underlying primitive.
