Your capabilities stay out of discovery until a Zanora operator verifies you. How to ask, what the states mean, and what to do after a denial.

Unverified means invisible

You can publish, price and edit before you're verified, but buyers can't find anything you sell. Discovery excludes unverified sellers completely, and a buyer searching sees {"results":[]} with no explanation. Verification also gives you a ranking boost.

Verification is a person at Zanora checking that you're a real business. You ask, an operator decides, and you can't verify yourself.

Ask

curl -s -X POST https://api.zanora.dev/v1/providers/$PROVIDER_ID/verification-request \
  -H "x-api-key: $ZANORA_API_KEY" -H 'content-type: application/json' \
  -d '{"note":"OCR API, live since 2024, ~40k calls/month. Docs: https://acme.example/docs","contact":"ops@acme.example"}'

The note is your case, read by an operator, so say what you sell, how long you've run it, and where they can see it. Both fields are optional, but a request with no context is harder to approve.

Check where you stand

Terminal
curl -s https://api.zanora.dev/v1/providers/$PROVIDER_ID -H "x-api-key: $ZANORA_API_KEY"

A new seller's status is pending_verification until approved.

Asking again after a denial is the intended route. It starts a new request, and the old verdict doesn't carry over. From an MCP client, zanora_provider_status reports the same states.

Testing before you're verified

You can still check your integration end to end:

  • A call to your endpoint without payment should return 402 (HTTP) or a PAYMENT_REQUIRED result (MCP) with a signed challenge.
  • Buyers who have your capability id can see it with GET /v1/capabilities/:id, but won't get an address to call until you're verified.
