  1. MCP census entry (+2 points): Expose a Streamable HTTP MCP endpoint at /mcp (or a paid x402 route) so agents can call you, not just read you. How to fix
  2. Crawler access (+1 point): Add a group for Bytespider with "Allow: /" (or drop the blanket "Disallow: /") if you want answer engines to cite you. How to fix
  3. Machine-readable surfaces (+1 point): Publish /llms.txt (a short Markdown guide to your key pages); one agent surface: /openapi.json, /.well-known/agent-card.json, or /.well-known/x402 if you sell to agents. How to fix

MCP census entry (index.agentexchange.work)

0/2 · fail

Not selling to agents: no census entry, no /mcp endpoint

  • census unavailable (refused index.agentexchange.work: hosts on agentexchange.work cannot be graded from inside the same Cloudflare zone; every check would time )
  • GET /mcp -> HTTP 404: no MCP endpoint at the root

Fix: Expose a Streamable HTTP MCP endpoint at /mcp (or a paid x402 route) so agents can call you, not just read you.
