> A hand-curated map of the internet, kept in git. Every entry records who checked it and how. Data is CC BY 4.0; code is MIT.

Built from commit 25779df10a3e of https://github.com/Aitherium/aithernet-index.

## Read it
- [Every record as JSON](https://index.aitherium.com/index.json): each record, its trust tier and the source commit.
- Resolve a keyword: GET https://index.aitherium.com/n/<name>.aither.json (404 means not in the index; the resolver never guesses).
- Entry pages: https://index.aitherium.com/e/<id>/ carry schema.org JSON-LD (LocalBusiness, Organization, WebSite).
- [Sitemap](https://index.aitherium.com/sitemap.xml)
- Python and MCP: `pip install awindex`, then `awindex resolve <name>` or `awindex mcp` (an MCP server over stdio).

## Trust tiers
- submitted: someone proposed it.
- reachable: a bot fetched the URL and got HTTP 200.
- owner-proven: the site serves /.well-known/aithernet.json naming the record id.
- vouched: reachable or better, and two people other than the submitter vouched.
