26 URL(s) listed
Brand findable in agent searchdetailsN/A
search-based checks are deferred — excluded from the score
Listed in an MCP registrydetailsN/A
registry lookup not implemented in v1 — excluded from the score rather than guessed
Accessibility 32.1/33.3
Content-to-markup ratio is reasonabledetailsWARN
ratio 0.016 — 4259 readable chars in 266013 bytes of HTML
Fix: Most of what you serve is markup and inline script rather than content. Reduce inline payloads or server-render more text so the signal-to-noise ratio favours readers.
Docs are readable without JavaScriptdetailsPASS
2900 characters of text at /docs
Homepage responds to an agent requestdetailsPASS
HTTP 200 for / (agent UA)

4259 characters of text in the served HTML
No long redirect chain on the homepagedetailsPASS
1 redirect(s)
Usability 19.6/44.4
MCP server completes the initialize handshakedetailsFAIL
HTTP 401 — the endpoint requires credentials to initialize
Fix: Let unauthenticated clients complete `initialize` and `tools/list`, and require auth only on `tools/call`. An agent that cannot see your tools cannot decide to use them.
OpenAPI document publisheddetailsFAIL
/openapi.json is served but is not valid JSON
Fix: Serve a parseable OpenAPI document at /openapi.json. What is there now cannot be read by any tooling.
agents.md is publisheddetailsWARN
/agents.md returns HTML
Fix: Serve /agents.md as markdown (text/markdown or text/plain). An HTML page here is probably your SPA catch-all route.
The /api root behaves predictablydetailsWARN
/api → HTTP 200 text/html
Fix: Serve JSON from API paths, with an accurate content-type.
Errors are machine-readabledetailsWARN
a nonexistent path returned HTTP 200, not 404
Fix: Return 404 for paths that do not exist. A 200 on a missing page makes an agent believe it found something.
A documentation endpoint respondsdetailsPASS
/docs → HTTP 200
.well-known/mcp.json advertises an MCP serverdetailsPASS
HTTP 200, valid JSON
