Overview

AI-generated overview

Scans a URL for AI-agent readability against the Vercel spec, llmstxt.org and agent-protocol manifests, returning scores and per-check fix hints.

What you can do
  • Scan a site or page for agent readability and get Vercel and llms.txt scores with per-check findings and remediation hints
  • Fetch a previously run scan by id and review its results
  • Validate JSON-LD structured data from a URL or pasted markup
  • Search Agent Ready's own methodology, check registry, specs and content library in natural language
  • Run guided workflows for scanning, interpreting results and building a prioritised remediation plan
When to use it
Useful when you want an assistant to audit a website's readiness for AI agents and crawlers, or to check JSON-LD you just wrote. It fits site owners, SEO and developer teams who want scored findings plus concrete fix guidance rather than a general SEO or performance audit.
Requirements
Runs as a hosted Streamable HTTP endpoint or as a local npm package (npx agent-ready-mcp) needing Node.js. No key is required for anonymous use; a Pro key in AGENT_READY_API_KEY unlocks larger scans and scan history. Optional variables override the API URL and timeouts. Network access to agent-ready.dev is required.
Before you install
The Pro key in AGENT_READY_API_KEY is a bearer credential for your account; keep it out of shared configs. Scans are sent to the hosted agent-ready.dev service, which performs and stores all scan execution. Anonymous use is limited to 3 scans per 30 days per IP at 25-page depth, and scan history is only visible to the key's owner.

Installation

In SourceWeft

  1. Open Agent Ready in the dashboard and add it to a workspace.
  2. Enable the server for the chats that should use its tools.

Web executable via Streamable HTTP. Remote servers run from the web runtime once configured in a workspace.

Use with an agent

Paste this prompt into Claude Code, Codex, Cursor or another agent — or into SourceWeft chat. The agent reads this server's install guide, shows you its publisher, endpoint and sign-in, and adds it to your client once you agree. Keys never go into a command.

Read https://sourceweft.com/mcp/io.github.mlava%2Fagent-ready-mcp/install.md and connect the MCP server it describes to my client. Before changing any config, show me its publisher, endpoint and sign-in method and wait for my OK. Never put an API key in a command or in a file I would commit; ask me where it should come from.

Read the install guide the agent follows

Other MCP clients

Add this to your client's mcpServers config.

README

agent-ready-mcp

MCP server for Agent Ready — scan any URL for AI agent readability against the Vercel Agent Readability Spec, the llmstxt.org standard, and agent-protocol manifests (MCP server cards, A2A, agents.json, agent-permissions.json, UCP, x402, NLWeb). 72 checks across four spec families — 40 site and page checks (15 site-wide + 25 per-page), 10 against llmstxt.org, and 22 against agent-protocol manifests — each with per-check fix guidance, plus a separate accessibility sub-score from 23 WCAG 2.2 / layout-stability checks.

Hosted at https://agent-ready.dev/api/v1/mcp (Streamable HTTP); this package is a thin stdio wrapper around the same REST endpoints, distributed via npm for local MCP clients (Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf).

Features

  • scan_site — fresh agent-readability scan on any URL. Works without a key on the anonymous free tier (3 scans/30 days per IP, 25-page depth, synchronous); with a Pro key it scans up to 250 pages, polling the hosted API up to 60s.
  • get_scan — fetch a previously-run scan by id (Pro key required — scan history is account-scoped).
  • ask — natural-language (NLWeb) search over Agent Ready's own methodology, checks, and specs. Public, no API key required; returns Schema.org-typed results.
  • validate_structured_data — validate a page's (or a pasted) JSON-LD against Agent Ready's structured-data checks. Public, no API key required; paste mode needs no network, so an agent can check JSON-LD it just authored.
  • Three discovery prompts — scan, interpret_scan, remediation_plan. End-to-end workflows from URL → score → fix-it plan.
  • SKILL.md — Claude Skill descriptor included under skills/agent-ready/ for activation routing.

Setup

No key is required to start: scan_site, ask, and validate_structured_data all work anonymously out of the box (scan_site on the free anonymous quota — 3 scans per 30 days per IP at 25-page depth). An Agent Ready Pro API key unlocks 50 scans/month, 250-page depth, scan history (get_scan), and weekly monitoring — sign up at agent-ready.dev and issue a key from the dashboard. The env block in the configs below is optional; omit it to run keyless.

Claude Desktop

Add to ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json (macOS) or %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json (Windows):

json
{  "mcpServers": {    "agent-ready": {      "command": "npx",      "args": ["-y", "agent-ready-mcp@latest"],      "env": {        "AGENT_READY_API_KEY": "ar_live_..."      }    }  }}

Claude Code

bash
claude mcp add agent-ready \  -e AGENT_READY_API_KEY=ar_live_... \  -- npx -y agent-ready-mcp@latest

Cursor / VS Code / Windsurf

.cursor/mcp.json, .vscode/mcp.json, or ~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json:

json
{  "mcpServers": {    "agent-ready": {      "command": "npx",      "args": ["-y", "agent-ready-mcp@latest"],      "env": {        "AGENT_READY_API_KEY": "ar_live_..."      }    }  }}

Environment variables

Keyless runs use the anonymous free tier (3 scans/30 days per IP) and return synchronously; with a Pro key, returns { id, status: "running" } placeholder if the scan exceeds the poll deadline.
get_scanid (string, scan id from a prior scan_site call)Same scan object as scan_site, or not_found if the id is unknown or doesn't belong to the authenticated user. Pro key required.

Skill (Anthropic Claude Skills)

A SKILL.md lives at skills/agent-ready/SKILL.md inside the package. To use it in Claude Desktop / Claude Code, copy the skills/agent-ready/ directory into ~/.claude/skills/.

The skill describes when to activate (URL + readability-audit intent), which tool to pick, how to surface scan results without dumping raw JSON, and when to defer to other tools (general SEO, performance profiling, code editing).

How it works

This package is a thin stdio→HTTPS wrapper:

MCP client (stdio) ↔ agent-ready-mcp ↔ HTTPS ↔ agent-ready.dev/api/v1/scans

All scan execution, persistence, and Pro-tier quota enforcement happen on the hosted server. The npm package only translates between MCP JSON-RPC over stdio and the REST API.

If you'd rather use the hosted MCP server directly (Streamable HTTP transport, no local install), point your MCP client at https://agent-ready.dev/api/v1/mcp with Authorization: Bearer ar_live_....

Methodology

The 72 checks, their weights, and the score formula are documented at agent-ready.dev/methodology. Both manifest.json and server.json in this repo conform to the relevant registry schemas (Glama Marketplace v0.3 and MCP registry 2025-12-11 respectively).

Development

bash
npm installnpm run build       # → dist/mcp-server.mjsnpm testnpm run typecheck

scan_site

Scan a site for AI agent readability

Runs the agent-ready.dev scanner against a URL and returns structured results: Vercel score, llmstxt.org score, and per-check findings with remediation hints. Scans may take up to ~60s; for larger scans the tool returns a scan id and asks you to poll with get_scan.

ParametersurlrequiredpageLimit

get_scan

Get a previous scan by id

Fetches a completed or in-progress scan by its id. Only scans owned by the authenticated API key's user are returned.

Parametersidrequired

ask

Ask Agent Ready in natural language

Natural-language search (NLWeb /ask) over Agent Ready's own content — scoring methodology, the check registry, the specs it validates, and the content library (explainers, comparisons, how-to guides, glossary). Returns Schema.org-typed result objects. Optional itemType narrows to a corpus type; mode 'summarize' adds an extractive summary.

Score

100% of the applicable checks met

How complete this listing is, computed from the registry entry, the endpoint and public sources. Not a rating of the server and not a statement that it is safe or working today: reachability is a dated check, and no installs or reviews go into the score.
