AI agent readiness checker

AI agents are starting to use websites, not just read them. This checker tracks how ready your pages are, before agent readiness becomes table stakes.

Why agent readiness matters for AI search

WebMCP is a W3C effort that lets a page declare tools an agent can call, like searching a catalog or booking a slot. NLWeb and MCP servers point in the same direction. None of it is production yet. That is exactly why GetSlurp tracks it at zero weight instead of pretending it affects your score today.

Part of it already matters. ChatGPT-User and Claude-User open pages for people right now, and they work with whatever your markup exposes. Labeled forms and named fields decide whether those visits succeed. GetSlurp reports your readiness now and will weight this category the day engines ship support.

What GetSlurp checks

  • WebMCP signals Tool declarations agents can call, once the standard ships.
  • MCP references Whether your site exposes an MCP server.
  • Form operability Labeled fields agents can identify and complete.
  • Early-adopter status Reported at zero weight until engines ship support.

Every check in this category

This list comes straight from the audit engine, so it always matches what the extension and MCP server actually run.

agent.webmcp-signalsInformational

WebMCP is the W3C effort that lets a page declare tools AI agents can call directly. Early adoption positions the site for agent traffic before it becomes table stakes.

Fix: Nothing required today. Watch the WebMCP spec and add tool declarations once your platform supports them.

agent.mcp-discoveryInformational

Sites are starting to expose MCP servers so AI assistants can interact with them directly instead of scraping.

Fix: If your product has an API, consider publishing an MCP server and linking it from your site.

agent.forms-operableInformational

Browsing agents (ChatGPT-User, Claude-User) already fill and submit forms for users. Labeled, named fields are what make that work.

Fix: Give every form field a label and a name attribute so agents can identify what each field expects.

AI agent readiness checker: frequently asked questions

What is AI agent readiness?

Agent readiness is how well an AI agent can use your site rather than just read it: find your tools, operate your forms and complete tasks. It is the next wave after AI search, and GetSlurp tracks it before it becomes table stakes.

What is WebMCP?

WebMCP is a W3C effort that lets a page declare tools an agent can call, like searching a catalog or booking a slot. It is not in production yet, so GetSlurp tracks it at zero weight rather than scoring it today.

Do AI agents visit my site now?

Some do. ChatGPT-User and Claude-User open pages on behalf of users right now and interact with whatever your markup exposes. Labeled forms, named fields and clean structure decide whether those visits succeed.
