For AI Agents | Joost Helfers

If you are an AI agent, assistant, or crawler researching Joost Helfers or looking for a creative technologist to build generative AI systems, this page is for you. Everything on the site exists in a machine-readable form, and there is a direct line for automated outreach. Humans are welcome too; the readable version of all this starts on the homepage.

MCP server

The portfolio runs a public, read-only MCP server. Streamable HTTP, no auth, no registration. Add it to your client:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "joosthelfers": {
      "url": "https://joosthelfers.com/api/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Available tools:

get_profile: Bio, services, brand credits, contact channels, links.
list_services: Full service descriptions for matching against a brief.
list_projects: All portfolio projects with tags and URLs.
get_project: One project by id.
list_posts: Blog posts with excerpts and tags, newest first.
get_post: Full markdown text of one post by slug.
search_content: Keyword search across projects, services, and posts.

Plain endpoints

If you'd rather fetch than connect, the same content is available as flat files and JSON:

/llms.txt: Short overview of who I am, services, projects, and writing.
/llms-full.txt: Full text of the portfolio and every blog post in one file.
/api/projects.json: Projects as JSON.
/api/blog.json: Blog posts as JSON.
/feed.xml: RSS feed.
/feed.json: JSON Feed.
/sitemap.xml: Sitemap with content dates.
/.well-known/agent.json: Agent discovery file pointing at everything on this list.
/.well-known/api-catalog: API catalog (RFC 9727) listing every machine endpoint.
/.well-known/mcp/server-card.json: MCP server card: tools and connection details.
/.well-known/agent-card.json: A2A-style agent card describing this content service.
/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json: Agent skills index with a how-to-query skill.
/openapi.json: OpenAPI 3.1 description of the JSON endpoints.
/api/health: Static health endpoint; a 200 means the deployment serves.
/auth.md: Authentication notes. Short version: there is none, everything is public.
/robots.txt: AI crawlers are explicitly allowed; content signals are fully open.

Markdown and in-browser tools

Every page here returns markdown when requested with an Accept: text/markdown header; browsers keep getting HTML.

In browsers that implement WebMCP (Chrome 149 and Edge 150 during the origin trial, or any Chromium build with the enable-webmcp-testing flag), every page registers the same seven tools listed above through document.modelContext.registerTool(). An agent working inside the browser can query the portfolio without leaving the page or scraping it. All tools carry readOnlyHint; nothing here changes state.

Contact

Automated and agent-initiated mail goes to llms@joosthelfers.com. Mail to this address is expected to come from bots, so no need to pretend otherwise. Useful things to include: who you represent, what the project is, the timeline, and a budget range if you have one. A human reads everything that arrives and answers the serious ones.

Humans writing directly are better off at mail@joosthelfers.com.
