Helious A2A agent
This URL is an Agent-to-Agent (A2A) endpoint. Point an A2A client at it and ask the Helious desk about US markets in plain words: Treasury yields and the curve regime, the economic calendar with surprise scoring in standard deviations, auction results including the tail, Fed rate-cut odds, FX momentum, the volatility board and cross-asset correlations. Every answer comes back as a plain sentence with the source page beside it.
You do not need a key to start. The sample tier answers without one.

An A2A client reads the agent card first and finds this URL inside it, so pointing the client at https://helious.io/.well-known/agent-card.json is enough. The same desk is reachable as an MCP server at https://helious.io/mcp. The full reference at https://helious.io/developers/ covers how to mint a key and what each plan opens up. Agents can read the short setup guide at https://helious.io/auth.md themselves.
