From 07af3621d661606d892830c3726cc4a4606a4f28 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Meagan Date: Tue, 16 Jun 2026 15:01:49 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] Add agent finder section to MCP management concept Fold a minimal "Agent finder" section into the existing MCP management concept page rather than adding a standalone, prominent page, since this GA feature should stay low-profile. Covers what agent finder does, its registry-based discovery, the ARD specification, and admin governance.
