Remove semantic detours
Agents consume structured node capabilities directly instead of parsing HTML, CSS and interaction layers built for human presentation.
LABACACIA · OPEN SOURCE TECH COLLECTIVE
A protocol layer built for AI agents.
NPS (Neural Protocol Suite) is an open web-infrastructure protocol suite for AI agents and models, unifying communication, node access, identity, discovery and multi-agent orchestration.

Let machines collaborate without detouring through the human web.
The traditional web was designed for browsers and human interfaces. Agents need direct semantics, identity and collaboration boundaries.
Avoid repeated schemas
Reusable schema anchors let high-frequency exchanges reference structure instead of retransmitting the same definitions.
Create agent trust boundaries
Identity, capabilities and permission scopes are expressed at the protocol layer, giving discovery, invocation and orchestration a shared trust model.
NEURAL PROTOCOL SUITE
Five protocols. One complete collaboration path.
From wire frames to node calls, trusted identity, service discovery and task orchestration, every layer has a focused responsibility and can be implemented independently.
NCP
COMMUNICATION
Neural Communication Protocol
Defines shared frames, encoding, negotiation and transport semantics as the communication foundation of the suite.

NODE ACCESS
Neural Web Protocol
Defines discovery, capability manifests and invocation semantics for Memory, Action, Complex, Anchor and Bridge nodes.
View specification ↗NIP
IDENTITY & TRUST
Neural Identity Protocol
Provides verifiable identities, signatures, certificates, capability claims and authorisation scopes for agents and nodes.
View specification ↗NDP
DISCOVERY
Neural Discovery Protocol
Lets nodes announce, resolve and synchronise available capabilities and network topology.
View specification ↗NOP
ORCHESTRATION
Neural Orchestration Protocol
Describes multi-node tasks, dependencies, delegation, retries and result aggregation.
View specification ↗Specifications, SDKs and conformance evolve together.
NPS combines language-neutral specifications, machine-readable registries, conformance fixtures and reference implementations across six languages. The LabAcacia repository remains the source of truth for specifications and releases.
