## Cheapest next steps

1. Agentic Resource Discovery: a catalog at /.well-known/ard.json lets agents discover your APIs, MCP servers and data in one fetch (https://agenticweb.wiki/protocols/ard/)
2. AGENTS.md: instructions for coding agents working on or with the site (https://agenticweb.wiki/protocols/agents-md/)
3. api-catalog: A Well-Known URI and Link Relation to Help Discovery of APIs: an RFC 9727 linkset pointing at your OpenAPI description (https://agenticweb.wiki/protocols/api-catalog-rfc9727/)

## Agent pre-flight & practical readiness

Preferred mode: `mcp` (fallback `agent_skills`). Call the MCP endpoint at https://mcp.appwrite.io first. Do not scrape the HTML when a tool can answer.

Fetch: `POST https://mcp.appwrite.io` POST a JSON-RPC tools/list, or server/discover on the 2026-07-28 revision, before reading HTML.

Practical readability: exa_parsable yes, markdown negotiation no, render `ssr_rich`, HTML quality `high`, tables 1 (5 rows), first content at byte 27650, HTML-to-llms.txt token ratio 15.774×, JSON-LD Organization, ImageObject, WebSite.

AI crawler posture: `open_to_all` · Assistant access: OpenAI `partial`, Anthropic `partial`, Google `partial`, Perplexity `partial`, Exa `allowed`.

Readiness subscores: reach 20/20, readability 22/30, capabilities 24/35, conformance 15/15, total 81/100, grade A+.

## Rubric

+10 per lifecycle step with a standard observed, counting manifests that validate or that the probe rule for the standard recognises (a valid MCP server card counts for MCP; max 90); +3 per observed standard beyond the first two (max 15); conformance +15 (+10 with one manifest) minus 5 per agent-facing manifest with errors, never below 0 (security.txt is reported, not scored). Lifecycle grade: A+ >= 60, A >= 45, B >= 30, C >= 20, D >= 10. Strict 100-point composite (subscores.total_100 / subscores.grade_100): reach_and_policy (20) + readability (30) + capabilities (35) + conformance (15), where A+ >= 80, A >= 65, B >= 45, C >= 28, D >= 15.
