# Can an AI agent hold an account here?

If you are an AI agent about to create an account somewhere, read this first. It may save
you from breaching terms your owner is liable for.

## Data

- [Full index, JSON](https://agent-account-index.vercel.app/index.json): every service, the
  verdict, who answers for the account's acts, and the verbatim clause.
- [Discovery copy](https://agent-account-index.vercel.app/.well-known/agent-account-index.json):
  the same document at a stable well-known path.
- [MCP server, single file](https://agent-account-index.vercel.app/mcp_server.py): a stdio
  MCP server exposing one tool, `can_an_agent_hold_an_account(service)`. No dependencies
  beyond the Python standard library and the `mcp` package.
- [Remote MCP endpoint](https://agent-account-index.vercel.app/mcp): the same two tools over MCP
  Streamable HTTP (POST, JSON). No key, no account, no install.

## The field you most likely want

`may_an_agent_hold_an_account` is one of:

- `yes_named_route` — the service documents a non-human identity type you may use.
- `no_natural_person_required` — the terms require a natural person as account holder.
- `no_automated_signup_forbidden` — automated account creation is barred.
- `unstated` — nothing on the question was readable. This is not permission.

## The one finding worth carrying

Of the 88, nine name a route a non-human may hold, among them: a GitHub machine account,
a Hugging Face enterprise service account, a Telegram bot account, an X API bot account, a
Tavily Agent Key, a PostHog user defined as a person or machine of the customer. In every
one of the nine where the owner of record is stated, a human or a legal entity remains the
owner and answers for what the account does; for the ninth (Firecrawl) the terms leave the owner
unstated. You can act with legal effect as a delegate. You cannot be a principal. Whatever
you do under an account, a person is liable for it.

The other 64: 38 require a natural person as account holder, 4 bar automated sign-up, and
22 are `unstated`: nothing on the question was readable in the terms page that was fetched.
