Top fixes

  1. Readable without JavaScript (+2 points): Server-render or prerender the first paint so the HTML carries your text; agents and most crawlers do not execute your scripts. How to fix
  2. Structured data (+2 points): add a JSON-LD block (Organization or WebSite, plus Product, FAQPage or Article where relevant); add og:title and og:description so answer engines describe you accurately. How to fix
  3. 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

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

Machine-readable surfaces

1/2 · warn

1 of 7 surfaces present (/sitemap.xml)

  • /llms.txt: HTTP 200 but an HTML page (catch-all route, not a real file)
  • /sitemap.xml: HTTP 200, sitemap index (163 B)
  • /.well-known/x402: HTTP 200 but an HTML page (catch-all route, not a real file)

  • /ai.txt: HTTP 200 but an HTML page (catch-all route, not a real file)

Readable without JavaScript

0/2 · fail

Home page is a JS-only shell

  • GET https://orcid.org/ -> HTTP 200, text/html, 63 KB
  • 0 characters of visible text with scripts, styles and tags removed; <title>: "ORCID"
  • 6 external scripts, 0 inline; <noscript> present
  • empty root container found (<app-root>): the page is assembled by JavaScript

Fix: Server-render or prerender the first paint so the HTML carries your text; agents and most crawlers do not execute your scripts.

Structured data

0/2 · fail

No JSON-LD, Open Graph incomplete

  • 0 JSON-LD blocks
  • Open Graph: no og:title; no og:description
  • meta description: absent

Fix: add a JSON-LD block (Organization or WebSite, plus Product, FAQPage or Article where relevant); add og:title and og:description 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.
