Is Your Site Agent-Ready?Common questions
Before you download
What does it mean for a website to be AI agent ready?
An agent-ready website helps an automated client find approved public information, receive it in a useful form, understand applicable policy, and use any supported capabilities without bypassing security, user consent, or record-level authorization.
Does every website need an MCP server or WebMCP?
No. Many sites should begin with accurate content, semantic HTML, stable URLs, a current sitemap, and deliberate crawl rules. Add structured tools only when they support a real customer or partner task more safely than browser automation.
Does a high Cloudflare Agent Readiness score prove the site is ready?
No. The score is a useful technical inventory. It does not certify content accuracy, accessibility, security, policy quality, user experience, or whether an exposed capability has a sound business case.
