auth: 49% (2/9 checks) — https://vercel.com/.well-known/oauth-authorization-server - mcp: not detected ## Fix these first 1. **Wikipedia / Wikidata entity presence** (`wikipedia-presence`, ≈ +7.4): Create a Wikidata item with official website (P856) = your domain; pursue a Wikipedia article once independent coverage exists. 2. **WebMCP support** (`webmcp`, ≈ +4.3): Register 3–10 verb-named tools with described JSON schemas on document.modelContext from an inline script; mark reads readOnlyHint: true. 3. **robots.txt AI crawler policy** (`robots-ai-policy-quality`, ≈ +3.7): Add named User-agent groups for GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot and Google-Extended (Allow), decide explicitly about CCBot / Bytespider, and optionally add Content-Signal. 4. **OpenAPI spec published** (`openapi-spec`, ≈ +3.5): Publish OpenAPI 3.x at /openapi.json (alias it if the real file lives elsewhere) and reference it from llms.txt and /.well-known/api-catalog. 5. **MCP server / manifest** (`mcp-server`, ≈ +3.4): Serve an MCP server (Streamable HTTP), make initialize and tools/list answer without a token, and reference it from llms.txt and a server card. 6. **Agent-friendly 404s** (`agent-friendly-404`, ≈ +1.7): Return 404 for unknown paths and include links to /sitemap.xml, /llms.txt or your docs index in the 404 body (HTML and markdown). 7. **OAuth Protected Resource metadata (RFC 9728)** (`oauth-protected-resource`, ≈ +1.7): Publish protected-resource metadata with resource, authorization_servers, scopes_supported and bearer_methods_supported. 8. **auth.md exists** (`auth-md-exists`, ≈ +1.7): Publish /auth.md describing how an agent discovers, obtains, uses and revokes a credential. ## Every check | Status | Check | Points | Evidence | | --- | --- | --- | --- |
