  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

Ordered by points recoverable. Each area: 2/2 pass, 1/2 warn, 0/2 fail.

Crawler access (robots.txt)

1/2 · warn

7 of 8 AI crawlers may read the site, 1 disallowed

  • GET /robots.txt -> HTTP 200, 365 B, 9 user-agent groups
  • Allowed: GPTBot (via *) (1 path rule), ClaudeBot (via *) (1 path rule), OAI-SearchBot (via *) (1 path rule), PerplexityBot (via *) (1 path rule), Google-Extended (via *) (1 path rule), Amazonbot (via *) (1 path rule), CCBot (via *) (1 path rule)
  • Disallowed: Bytespider
  • Sitemap declared: https://zenn.dev/sitemaps/_index.xml

Fix: Add a group for Bytespider with "Allow: /" (or drop the blanket "Disallow: /") if you want answer engines to cite you.

Machine-readable surfaces

1/2 · warn

None of the 7 machine-readable surfaces is published (a sitemap is declared in robots.txt)

  • /llms.txt: HTTP 404
  • /sitemap.xml: HTTP 404
  • /.well-known/x402: HTTP 404
  • /.well-known/agent-card.json: HTTP 404
  • /.well-known/mcp-registry-auth: HTTP 404
  • /openapi.json: HTTP 404
  • /ai.txt: HTTP 404
  • Sitemap declared in robots.txt instead: https://zenn.dev/sitemaps/_index.xml

Fix: 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.

Readable without JavaScript

1/2 · warn

Home page is partly JS-dependent

  • GET https://zenn.dev/ -> HTTP 200, text/html, 232 KB
  • 596 characters of visible text with scripts, styles and tags removed; <title>: "Zenn|エンジニアのための情報共有コミュニティ"
  • 23 external scripts, 6 inline; <noscript> present
  • first words: "Trending Following ハッカソン 第5回 Agentic AI Hackathon エントリー受付中!9月に福岡/大阪でミニハッカソン開催! 2026/08/20 - 2026/10/15 イベントをもっと見る → Tech ? トレンドをもっと見る → Idea..."

Fix: Move the essentials (what you do, prices, contact, key pages) into server-rendered HTML instead of loading them with JavaScript.

Structured data

1/2 · warn

No JSON-LD, Open Graph complete

  • 0 JSON-LD blocks
  • Open Graph: og:title "Zenn|エンジニアのための情報共有コミュニティ"; og:description present
  • meta description: present

Fix: add a JSON-LD block (Organization or WebSite, plus Product, FAQPage or Article where relevant) so answer engines describe you accurately.

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 200 HTML page (catch-all route, not an MCP endpoint)

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