Can AI systems use your website?

Crawlers discover and retrieve content. Browser agents interact with rendered pages for users. We measure the signals each access mode can use.

The shift

IsAgentReady measures machine-readable web signals used across discovery, structured data, semantics, protocols, and security. These static signals do not predict citation or agent task outcomes.

We test a fetchable HTML signal

Our scanner fetches raw HTML without executing JavaScript. This measures what fetch-only crawlers and non-rendered retrieval can access, while browser agents may also use rendered page signals.

Fetchable HTML perspective

Our scan evaluates the initial HTML response. It does not simulate every agent: browser agents may combine the rendered DOM, accessibility tree, and screenshots, while fetch-only crawlers and non-rendered retrieval may not execute JavaScript. Serve important content in fetchable HTML, then test interactive journeys in a browser.

Every AI bot, individually

We parse your robots.txt for all 13 major AI user agents, both crawlers (GPTBot, Google-Extended, Bytespider) and search/assistant bots (ChatGPT-User, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot). Each has different crawling behavior and purpose.

Emerging protocols

We report supported A2A Agent Card, MCP discovery, and agents.json signals. WebMCP observations are shown separately as experimental, non-scored evidence.

Actionable code snippets

Every failed checkpoint comes with a prioritized recommendation and copy-paste code to fix it. Your report includes per-checkpoint pass/fail results, specific fixes, and a radar chart of your five category scores.

Built by a practitioner

IsAgentReady exists because the standards are moving fast and most websites are being left behind.

The web is going through one of its biggest shifts since mobile. AI agents are starting to browse on behalf of people, and new standards like MCP, WebMCP, and llms.txt are rewriting how that works. I find it genuinely fascinating to dig into these protocols and figure out what they mean for the websites we build. IsAgentReady started from that curiosity: making this shift concrete and measurable, so businesses can see where they stand and what to improve.

Does Schema Markup Get You Cited by AI? What the Data Actually Shows

A 2026 Ahrefs study tracked 1,885 pages adding schema markup. AI-search citations barely moved. We cover what structured data proves and what drives citations.

Frequently asked questions

Common questions about AI agent readiness, how we measure it, and what you can do to improve your score.

IsAgentReady reports four purpose profiles and measured stable-core coverage across five weighted categories. Weights and grade bands are explicit versioned policy choices. Static scores do not predict agent task success.

Each category receives a 0-100 score based on individual checkpoints. The overall score is a weighted average of all categories, converted to a letter grade from F (0-19) to A+ (95-100). Discovery carries 30% as an explicit versioned policy choice, not as a claim of measured causal impact.

Yes, IsAgentReady is completely free. Scan any website and get instant results with detailed scores, checkpoint-level pass/fail results, and actionable recommendations with code snippets.

llms.txt is a plain-text file at /llms.txt that provides a curated entry point to your site for AI agents. Unlike crawlers that scrape everything, agents can fetch specific pages for a task. llms.txt tells them which pages the publisher considers most relevant.

WebMCP (Web Model Context Protocol) and A2A (Agent-to-Agent) let AI agents interact directly with your website's functionality, not just read its content. WebMCP exposes actions through HTML form attributes or document.modelContext.registerTool(), while A2A Agent Cards describe your site's capabilities in a machine-readable format.

AI crawlers retrieve public pages at scale for uses such as search or training and depend on HTTP access controls like robots.txt. Browser agents operate a rendered page to complete tasks for users and may combine the DOM, accessibility tree, and screenshots. Server-rendered HTML gives both modes a dependable baseline, while browser testing is still needed for interactive flows.

Start with your scan's Quick Wins section, which shows the 3 changes with the highest point potential. Common quick wins include adding a robots.txt that allows AI bots, implementing JSON-LD structured data, and ensuring your pages render meaningful HTML server-side. Each recommendation includes copy-paste code snippets.

Yes. Install the IsAgentReady MCP server to scan websites directly from Claude Code, Cursor, Codex CLI, or any MCP-compatible editor. For fixing issues, install our open-source AI agent skills - they give your coding agent step-by-step playbooks for fixing what the scanner flags. Together they form a scan-fix-verify loop without leaving your editor.

Structured data such as JSON-LD with Schema.org vocabulary describes what a page represents: product, article, organization, or service. IsAgentReady measures whether that machine-readable signal is present and valid. The static scan does not measure or predict citation outcomes.
