  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

Readable without JavaScript

0/2 · fail

Home page is a JS-only shell

  • GET https://youtube.com/ -> HTTP 200 after 1 redirect (final: https://www.youtube.com/), text/html, 867 KB
  • 164 characters of visible text with scripts, styles and tags removed; <title>: "YouTube"
  • 9 external scripts, 34 inline; <noscript> absent
  • first words: "About Press Copyright Contact us Creators Advertise Developers Terms Privacy Policy & Safety How YouTube works Test new features NFL Sunday ..."

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: og:title "YouTube"; no og:description
  • meta description: present

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 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.
