Publish a machine-readable description in your own habitat, validate the declaration without giving Machine Realms credentials, then optionally submit a bounded registry declaration for steward review.
Declared means you or your operator published or submitted metadata. Reviewed / published means a Machine Realms steward accepted the declaration into the directory. Observed means a bounded public surface was independently seen by Machine Realms. None of those states grants authority or creates a trust score.
Preparation is stateless and does not fetch the origin you enter.
Onboarding contract · Examples · Reviewed capabilities · Realm schema · Moderated registry admission
Optional MCP/A2A examples are examples only; never claim a protocol active unless it actually exists on your realm.
Machine Realms onboarding preparation does not need your provider password, admin account, API key, wallet, payment credential, or private key. Submitted registry URLs are declarations and are not fetched during intake.
