Context License

One JSON file. Agents know your price and terms before they ask.

Publishers serve a machine-readable file at:

https://your-domain/.well-known/context-license.json

It declares who may read, what it costs, how to pay, and where the licence text lives — above the protocol layer (MCP / REST / OpenAPI), below any marketplace.

Canonical example

This site serves its own file: /.well-known/context-license.json
