AI readiness check as an MCP tool

WebAISEO: free AI-search check Prices WebAISEO Terms For AI agents

Published 11 November 2026 · by TrueTest

The same one-page check behind the free WebAISEO scan is also an MCP tool, so an AI assistant or agent can run it for you: check_ai_readiness on our remote MCP server at https://truetest.uk/mcp/ai-search. No account, no key, free.

Or run it in the browser See a full example first

Type your address into the box at the top of the WebAISEO page: the Readiness basics check reads one public page and its robots.txt, sitemap and llms.txt, takes a few seconds, needs no sign-up and is free. The paid audits are described on the WebAISEO page.

How do I connect it?

Claude: Settings → Connectors → add a custom connector with https://truetest.uk/mcp/ai-search.
Any client that supports remote MCP servers over streamable HTTP uses the same address (stateless, POST; send Accept: application/json, text/event-stream).
It is listed in the MCP Registry as uk.truetest/ai-search. All addresses and both of our servers: For AI agents.

What does the tool return?

Field	What it holds
score, grade	0-100 and A to E
categories	the five areas with their weights and scores
checks	every check: its area, name, pass / warn / fail, points, what was found, the fix, and whether the practice is established or emerging
top_fixes	up to six fixes, failures first
blocked_ai_crawlers	the AI crawlers robots.txt blocks for that page
words, title, url, checked_at	what the crawler saw and when

The page's title and other text from the site come back cut to a short length, with control characters removed, so a page cannot fill the assistant's context with its own text.

What are the limits?

One public page a call, http or https only; private and intranet addresses are refused.
One time limit for the whole check; a slow site gets a plain "too slow" answer.
When many checks run at once, the tool says to try again in a minute.
It checks readiness, not citations: it cannot say whether an engine already quotes the page.

Example prompts

"Can AI search engines read https://example.com/pricing? What should I fix first?"
"Check these three pages of my site for AI readiness and list the fixes they share."
"Which AI crawlers does example.com block?"
