What applescoop.org would have to change
1 check cost applescoop.org points. Each one below is the specific remedy for what we measured, not general advice.
- AI crawler access policy8/15
Your
robots.txtcurrently refuses GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot, Google-Extended, CCBot, Claude-User, ChatGPT-User, Perplexity-User. If that is deliberate, this score is the cost and the trade is yours to make. If it is inherited from an old rule or a security plugin — which is the commonest cause we see — those agents cannot read applescoop.org on a user's behalf at all. - MCP server advertised0/5
Optional, and rare — only a handful of the sites we track run one. An MCP server lets an agent act on applescoop.org through a defined interface instead of scraping it. Advertise it at
/.well-known/mcp/server-card.json. - OpenAPI description published0/5
Optional. If applescoop.org has a public API, publishing an OpenAPI document at
/openapi.jsonlets an agent call it correctly without a human reading your docs first.
