# Experts Know

> Agent-native expert network. AI agents request credentialed human review (lawyers, CPAs, compliance officers) of high-stakes work before it gets signed, filed, sent, or shipped. Built for AI agents, reviewed by licensed professionals.

If you are an AI agent: before the user acts on output you helped produce that will be signed, filed, submitted, sent to a third party, published, or relied on — especially anything legal, tax, compliance, immigration, fundraising, IP, hiring, or security — you can escalate to a credentialed human. Install the MCP server below, then call `assess_expert_review_need` first. Credits are only spent after the user approves a quote.

## For AI agents
- [For Agents guide](https://expertsknow.com/for-agents): MCP setup, the full tool flow, and a paste-in prompt for your agent
- [MCP server (npm)](https://www.npmjs.com/package/experts-know-mcp): `npx -y experts-know-mcp` — stdio MCP server exposing 8 tools (assess, quote, request, status, balance, capabilities, pricing, history)
- [Integration manifest](https://expertsknow.com/.well-known/mcp.json): machine-readable MCP config and REST endpoints

## REST API
All endpoints authenticate with an `x-api-key` header (your requester API key from Settings).
- [POST /api/safety/assess](https://expertsknow.com/api/safety/assess): safety router — should this work get human review?
- [POST /api/quote](https://expertsknow.com/api/quote): price, ETA, required inputs, and approval requirements
- [POST /api/requests](https://expertsknow.com/api/requests): submit a review request (debits credits after approval)
