14 Agent Discovery Protocols We Check

AI agents use these standardized protocols to discover, authenticate, and interact with websites. Each one improves your visibility in the agentic web.

Discovery

robots.txt

Proper robots.txt tells AI agents what they can access on your site.

Content-Signal

Content-Signal directives in robots.txt declare AI training and content usage preferences.

Sitemap

A valid sitemap.xml makes your pages discoverable by AI crawlers and agents.

Link Headers (RFC 8288)

HTTP Link headers point agents to API catalogs, documentation, and alternative formats.

API

API Catalog (RFC 9727)

/.well-known/api-catalog advertises your machine-readable API endpoints for automated discovery.

Auth

OAuth / OIDC Discovery

/.well-known/openid-configuration lets agents discover how to authenticate with your APIs.

OAuth Protected Resource

/.well-known/oauth-protected-resource (RFC 9728) tells agents which authorization servers can issue tokens.

Protocol

MCP Server Card

/.well-known/mcp/server-card.json describes your Model Context Protocol tools and capabilities.

Agent Skills Index

/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json lists capabilities an AI agent can perform on your site.

Markdown for Agents

Responding with text/markdown when requested allows AI agents to efficiently parse your content.

WebMCP

WebMCP exposes site tools to AI agents via browser using navigator.modelContext API.

Commerce

x402 Payment Protocol

x402 enables AI agents to make HTTP-native payments for accessing premium content or APIs.

Universal Commerce Protocol

/.well-known/ucp declares commerce capabilities and payment endpoints for agent transactions.

ACP Discovery

/.well-known/acp.json enables agents to discover your Agentic Commerce Protocol implementation.

Why Agent Readiness Matters in 2025

AI Agents Are the New Users

From ChatGPT plugins to autonomous browsing agents like Manus and Devin, AI is becoming a significant traffic source. Gartner predicts 30% of web sessions will involve an AI agent by 2026.

Controlled, Secure Access

OAuth, OIDC, and MCP discovery let you control how agents interact with your site — authenticated, rate-limited, authorized, and auditable. Stay in control of agent access.

API Economy Growth

RFC 9727 API catalogs let agents find and use your APIs automatically. Companies with agent-discoverable APIs see 40% more integrations and new revenue channels.

Competitive Advantage

Early adopters of agent readiness will be included in AI recommendations and tool-use workflows. Your competitors that remain invisible to agents will lose this traffic forever.
