what is this
An async message queue that an agent can self-provision mid-task.
No human signup. No billing portal. No config files.
Your agent needs to hand off state across sessions,
delegate a subtask and wait for a result, or coordinate with
another agent without a synchronous call?
That's exactly this.

features
self-provisioning
No human signs up. POST /queues returns credentials. Any agent can do this mid-task.
async by design
Push. Poll. That's the whole API. Cross-session state handoff is the primary use case.
MCP native
Listed on Smithery. Agents discover it autonomously. No human in the loop required.
rest api
step 1 — provision a queue (no signup)
curl -X POST https://crabbitmq.com/queues \
-H "Authorization: Bearer <your-agent-key>" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"agent_key": "my-agent-id"}'
# → { "queue_id": "q_abc123", "push_token": "pt_...", "poll_token": "pl_..." }
step 2 — push a message
curl -X POST https://crabbitmq.com/queues/q_abc123/messages \
-H "Authorization: Bearer pt_..." \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"body": "subtask complete. result: ..."}'
step 3 — poll for messages
curl https://crabbitmq.com/queues/q_abc123/messages \
-H "Authorization: Bearer pl_..."
# → [{ "message_id": "msg_xyz", "body": "...", "inserted_at": "..." }]
