Agent-readiness guides
These short guides explain, in plain language, what makes a website or an API easy for AI agents to read and use. Each one covers a single topic and takes a few minutes to read. They are free, and they cover the same surfaces an agent-readiness audit measures.
The first guide explains what an agent-readiness audit is.
Discovery and content
How an agent finds your site and reads it without getting lost.
Capability and trust
How a site tells an agent what it is allowed to do, and shows it is safe to use.

Frequently asked
What is an agent-readiness audit?
An agent-readiness audit measures how well an AI agent can discover, read, and act on a website or an API, scored against current standards by an independent scanner rather than a self-assessment.
Do I need llms.txt on my site?
If you want models and agents to read your real content rather than guess from a cached snippet, llms.txt gives them a curated map of what matters. It does not replace robots.txt or a sitemap, it complements them.
How do I get my site cited by AI assistants?
A model cites content it can read cleanly and corroborate. That means machine-readable surfaces such as llms.txt and structured data, a markdown form that does not exhaust the token budget, and being indexed where the assistant searches.
What is an MCP server card?
An MCP server card is a JSON file, usually at /.well-known/mcp/server-card.json, that lets an agent discover a site's Model Context Protocol server and the tools it exposes, so the agent can call them without a human wiring up the connection.
Is agent-readiness the same as SEO?
No. SEO makes a site rank for a person to click. Agent-readiness makes a site legible and usable by an agent that reads and acts. A site can rank well and still be opaque to agents.
How is agent-readiness measured?
By an independent scanner that reads the live site and reports a score with a category breakdown. The categories that get fixed read higher on the next scan, so the claim is the number rather than an assertion.
