The Agent-Readiness Report · May 2026

The companies building AI agents can't make their own websites usable by those agents.

I scored 27 major technology companies — foundation AI labs, consumer AI products, AI developer platforms, dev-tool gold standards, marketplaces — on how well their websites are structured for AI agents to discover and call deterministically.

Five findings that change the story

OpenAI scored 10 F

All three OpenAI domains — openai.com, chatgpt.com, chat.openai.com — scored 10/100. Identical. The world's largest AI company. The company most associated with "agents using the web." Lower than YouTube (also 10).

Anthropic's split tells a story D / C

claude.ai (product): 60. anthropic.com (corporate): 20. The team that ships the product invested in agent-discoverability. The corporate marketing team didn't. The 40-point gap is the gap between product and marketing, made visible.

Amazon scored 5 F

The most-scraped website in the world. The site every consumer-buying agent in 2026 will want to talk to. A 5/100 for structured discoverability. The agents are coming whether Amazon is ready or not.

Resend scored 100 A

Founded 2023, by ex-Vercel folks. Built with agent-discoverability assumptions from day one — llms.txt at root, OpenAPI advertised, JSON-LD, structured forms. The only company in the dataset to hit the ceiling. Proves the bar isn't aspirational.

The AI-builder platforms aren't ready either D

HuggingFace: 45. Replicate: 25. Kaggle: 20. Runway: 25. The platforms where AI engineers literally build agents aren't structured for those agents to use. The supply side of the AI economy is invisible to the demand side it's creating.

Y Combinator scored 20 D

The accelerator that's funded most of the AI-agent startups of the last three years. Their own site, where founders apply, where partners read pitches, where the next agent-native unicorn gets seed funding — invisible to the agents those startups are building.

Methodology

Each site was scored against a deterministic 7-signal rubric using the free agent-readiness scanner at solsticestudio.ai/readiness. Each signal is binary — full points or zero. Weights sum to 100, so the score is the percentage.

Signal Weight What it checks
MCP server35/.well-known/mcp/server, /.well-known/mcp.json, or /mcp returns 200
OpenAPI spec25/openapi.json, /swagger.json, or one of six common locations contains a valid spec
llms.txt15/llms.txt exists with content
Sitemap10/sitemap.xml or /sitemap_index.xml exists
robots.txt5/robots.txt exists
JSON-LD5Homepage has application/ld+json structured data
Semantic forms5Forms (if any) use labels and named inputs

Grade scale: A (90+) · B (75-89) · C (60-74) · D (40-59) · F (under 40)

What it doesn't measure: content quality, API design quality, response time, security posture, or whether your endpoints actually work. It measures discoverability — can an agent find what it needs to call you without scraping HTML? A site can score 100 and ship a buggy API. We measure the front door, not the rooms inside.

Reproducibility: the rubric and code are deterministic. Run any URL through solsticestudio.ai/readiness and you'll get the same score in 5 seconds.

Dates: all scores in this dataset were collected on 2026-05-17.

Disclosure: Solstice AI Studio operates Arachne, a hosted MCP gateway and Shadow API compiler. Solstice's own site scores 100/100 (we publish llms.txt, OpenAPI, JSON-LD, and serve a discovery endpoint at /.well-known/mcp/server). Eating our own dog food was a precondition for publishing this.

How does your site score?

Free, instant, anonymous. Five seconds. The scanner runs the same 7 signals against any URL.
