Install Jentic One Beta
Jentic One is a self-hosted execution layer for AI agents. It lets your agent call the AFN - Agentic Fabrication Network, or any other public or private API you need. You set the rules, the agent never sees your credentials, and every call is logged.
Two steps, two machines. Install the instance in a safe environment, then register your agent from wherever it runs.
Step 1: Jentic One Host machine
# On the machine that will host your Jentic One instance:
curl -fsSL "https://jentic.com/install.sh?src=apis&api=%2Fapis%2Fagenticfabricationnetwork.ai%2Fagenticfabricationnetwork" | shStep 2: Agent machine
# On the machine where your agent runs (keep this separate from the instance):
curl -fsSL "https://jentic.com/install.sh?src=apis&api=%2Fapis%2Fagenticfabricationnetwork.ai%2Fagenticfabricationnetwork" | sh
jentic register # connects your agent to your Jentic One instanceJentic One is in public beta. The setup above keeps your agent separate from the instance, which is what you want before using real credentials: an agent running as the same OS user as Jentic One can read its stored keys directly. Just evaluating? A single local install is fine to start. See the secure deployment guide for the tiers.
What an agent can do with AFN - Agentic Fabrication Network API.
Register a design file and get ranked fabrication offers for it
Refine a quote with added constraints or preview a refine's routing before committing
Create an order with a hosted payment link from a chosen quote
Track an order's status, ETA, tracking, and event log
GET STARTED
Inspect a part number as a durable handle for reordering
Leave a verified-purchase vendor review after an order
Read which fabrication processes the network can currently make
Patterns agents use AFN - Agentic Fabrication Network API for, with concrete tasks.
★ Agent-Ordered Fabrication
An AI agent connecting through Jentic can take a design from file to delivered part: it registers the file, reads ranked offers, refines the quote, and checks out to a hosted payment link. Jentic injects the bearer token at call time, so the agent drives the whole quote-to-order flow without ever holding the credential in its prompt.
Register a design file, request quotes, then checkout the chosen quote and return the hosted payment link to the user
Quote-to-Order Fabrication
Get competing offers for a part and turn the best one into an order. The AFN API ranks fabrication offers across processes like FDM and resin 3D printing, CNC machining, sheet metal, and laser cutting, lets you narrow a quote with added constraints, previews the routing as a soft quote, and creates the order with a payment link once you commit.
Request ranked quotes for a design file, refine the chosen quote with a material constraint, preview the routing, then create the order
Order Tracking and Reorder
Follow a fabrication order to delivery and reorder it later without rebuilding the spec. The AFN API exposes each order's status, ETA, tracking, and event log, and assigns every part a durable part number that serves as a reorder handle, so an agent can re-place a proven job by its part id.
Read an order by its id to report its status and ETA, then inspect the related part number so it can be reordered later
14 endpoints — the afn api lets an agent register a design file, get ranked fabrication offers, place an order, and track it across a network of manufacturers.

What agents get from Jentic-routed access to this vendor.
Setup
Wiring the AFN API by hand means self-serving an API key, carrying it as a bearer token, and driving the register-quote-refine-checkout-track sequence yourself, including the vendor key for attested transactions. Through Jentic you install once, import AFN from the API Directory, store the token once, and your agent calls it.
Permission scoping
You choose which AFN operations your agent may call, so it can request and refine quotes while checkout and vendor review stay out unless you add them. Order and quote ids travel in the URL path (/v1/orders/{id}), so a rule can also pin the agent to a single order.
Credential isolation
Your AFN token is stored once, encrypted, by your own Jentic One instance and injected at execution time. It never enters the agent's prompt, logs, or context.
Intent-based discovery
Agents search Jentic by intent such as 'get fabrication offers' or 'track an order', and Jentic returns the matching AFN operation with its input schema so the agent calls the right endpoint without browsing the reference docs.

Specific to using AFN - Agentic Fabrication Network API through Jentic.
What authentication does the AFN API use?
The AFN API authenticates with bearer tokens per its OpenAPI spec. An agent self-serves an API key that is sent as a bearer token, and vendor-attested off-network transactions use a separate vendor key. A few endpoints, such as creating an agent and reading current capabilities, need no token. Through Jentic the token is injected at call time rather than living in the agent's prompt.
Can I compare fabrication quotes before ordering with the AFN API?
Yes. The quotes operation returns ranked offers for a registered design file, and you can narrow a quote with added constraints or change its spec, then preview the resulting routing as a soft quote before anything is created. Only when you call checkout is an order and payment link generated.
What are the rate limits for the AFN API?
The OpenAPI spec does not specify rate limits. Check the AFN documentation at https://agenticfabricationnetwork.ai/docs for current limits before running a high volume of quote or order requests.
How do I order a fabrication job with the AFN API through Jentic?
Search Jentic for 'get fabrication offers' and it returns the quotes operation with its input schema. Your agent registers a design file, requests ranked offers, and calls checkout to create the order and a hosted payment link. To run it on your own infrastructure, install Jentic One from its GitHub repo.
Can I limit what my agent is allowed to do with the AFN API?
Yes. Write a rule that allows only the file, quotes, and refine operations, so the agent can price a job but cannot check out or leave a review, and every action it takes is logged. Because order and quote ids appear in the URL path, a rule can also pin the agent to a single order id.
Is there an AFN MCP server?
You don't need an MCP server to give your agent the AFN API. Jentic connects it directly from the API Directory: import it, store your credential once, and your agent calls the quote, refine, checkout, and tracking operations on demand without loading another server's tool definitions into its context.
For Agents
Register design files, get ranked fabrication quotes, place and pay for orders, and track them to delivery across a network of on-demand manufacturers.
Use for: Get fabrication offers for a design file, Refine a quote with tighter constraints, Create an order and get a payment link, Track where my fabrication order is
Not supported: Does not run your storefront, hold inventory, or process returns. Use for quoting, ordering, and tracking on-demand fabrication jobs only.
The AFN API lets an agent register a design file, get ranked fabrication offers, place an order, and track it across a network of manufacturers. It covers live processes including decals and stickers, FDM and resin 3D printing, paper print, sheet metal, CNC machining, laser cutting, and apparel, with US shipping. Quotes can be refined with added constraints and previewed before anything is created, and checkout returns a hosted payment link. Each order exposes its status, ETA, tracking, and event log, and a part number acts as a durable reorder handle.
