MSP-1 Namespace Term
msp:url
Specifies the primary web address for a resource, giving AI agents a concrete location to associate with the metadata description.
Definition
msp:url declares the main URL where the resource can be accessed. It acts as the bridge between semantic description and the live web document, supporting crawling, linking, and identity resolution.
While closely related to msp:canonical, which emphasizes the authoritative version among potential duplicates,
msp:url simply states the resource’s web-addressable location.
Usage
{
"msp:url": "https://example.com/docs/msp-1-overview/"
}
