93/100 A the paradox: courts AI, blocks AI
Audited October 15, 2026 — cruisehive.com has since dropped out of the panel, so this is the last audit we ran rather than today's from public surfaces only. Can AI agents discover, read, and act on cruisehive.com? Check by check:
GPTBot: blocked ClaudeBot: partial Claude-User: partial PerplexityBot: partial Google-Extended: blocked CCBot: blocked

1 check cost cruisehive.com points. Each one below is the specific remedy for what we measured, not general advice.
Your robots.txt currently refuses GPTBot, ClaudeBot, Claude-User, PerplexityBot, Google-Extended, CCBot. 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 cruisehive.com on a user's behalf at all.
Optional, and rare — only a handful of the sites we track run one. An MCP server lets an agent act on cruisehive.com through a defined interface instead of scraping it. Advertise it at /.well-known/mcp/server-card.json.
Optional. If cruisehive.com has a public API, publishing an OpenAPI document at /openapi.json lets an agent call it correctly without a human reading your docs first.
The badge reads live from this page, so it updates itself when the score changes. Free, no attribution required beyond the link it already carries.
