# LLMready

> LLMready is a full AI search readiness audit for websites. It checks whether ChatGPT Search, Perplexity, Gemini and Claude can reach a site, read it cleanly and understand it, scores the result from 0 to 100, and generates standards-compliant llms.txt and llms-full.txt files.

LLMready is not a magic file: an llms.txt helps AI agents find the right pages, but no file or tool can guarantee citations. The audit covers the technical reasons a site can't be read or quoted — crawler access in robots.txt, content that only appears after JavaScript runs, missing metadata and structured data, and pages that are hard to quote. The free plan includes 1 audit report with a downloadable llms.txt. Pro costs €19 per month or €149 per year.

## What the audit checks

An audit fetches the homepage, robots.txt, sitemap, /llms.txt and /llms-full.txt live, the way an AI crawler would (no JavaScript), and scores four weighted categories:

- **Bot access** (30% of the score): Can AI crawlers reach your site, and do you give them an llms.txt map?
- **Content extractability** (25% of the score): How cleanly your pages turn into text and Markdown without running JavaScript.
- **Semantic metadata** (20% of the score): Titles, OpenGraph and Schema.org JSON-LD that tell models what a page is.
- **Citation readiness** (25% of the score): Signals that make answer engines trust, quote and link back to you.

Scores map to grades from A+ (97 and up) to F (below 60). Sites scoring 80 or more can embed a "Verified AI-Ready" badge that links to their public report.

Crawlers checked include GPTBot, OAI-SearchBot, ChatGPT-User, PerplexityBot, ClaudeBot, Claude-SearchBot, Google-Extended and Applebot-Extended, plus training crawlers such as CCBot, which site owners may choose to block without affecting AI search.

## Plans

- **Free**: 1 instant audit report, downloadable llms.txt and llms-full.txt, shareable scorecard and badge, unlimited llms.txt validator.
- **Pro** (€19/month or €149/year):
  - Unlimited audits and llms.txt generation
  - Hosted llms.txt that auto-updates when your pages change
  - Real AI crawler hit tracking from your hosted files and server logs
  - Weekly AI answer checks with citation alerts
  - Competitor AI-visibility comparison
  - REST API and MCP server — 1,000 credits a month
  - Verified AI-Ready badge with live score

Pro tracking only reports real data: crawler hits come from requests to the hosted llms.txt files and from server logs the customer forwards, matched by user-agent. Citation alerts come from scheduled checks that ask AI answer engines real questions with web search and record whether the site was cited.

## API and MCP

- Free quick check, no key or sign-in: `GET https://answer-engine-ready.lovable.app/api/public/v1/quick-check?url=example.com` (or POST a JSON body `{"url": "…"}`). Returns the 0–100 score, grade, category scores, AI crawler access from robots.txt, llms.txt status and the top 3 fixes. Same crawler and scoring as a full audit, but no saved report. Limits: 10 per minute and 100 per rolling day per IP; the same URL checked again within 10 minutes returns the last result (`cached: true`). `links.fullAudit` opens the full audit.
- REST API base URL: https://answer-engine-ready.lovable.app/api/public/v1 (Bearer API key, Pro plan). OpenAPI 3.1 spec: https://answer-engine-ready.lovable.app/openapi.json.
- Remote MCP server "LLMready" (server ID app.lovable.answer-engine-ready/llmready): https://answer-engine-ready.lovable.app/mcp (Streamable HTTP). Tools: quick_check, audit_url, get_audit, list_audits, generate_llms_txt, validate_llms_txt, get_usage. tools/list and quick_check work without signing in, limited to 10 per minute and 100 per day per IP (the same allowance as the REST quick check; per account when signed in). The other tools need an LLMready Pro account: without a token they answer HTTP 401 with a WWW-Authenticate challenge that starts OAuth sign-in.
- Discovery: MCP server card at https://answer-engine-ready.lovable.app/mcp/server-card (legacy copy at https://answer-engine-ready.lovable.app/.well-known/mcp/server-card.json), AI catalog at https://answer-engine-ready.lovable.app/.well-known/ai-catalog.json, RFC 9727 API catalog at https://answer-engine-ready.lovable.app/.well-known/api-catalog.
- Pro includes 1,000 credits per calendar month (UTC), shared by the API and MCP, with a limit of 30 requests per minute. Credit costs:
- `audit`: 1 credit
- `get_audit`: free
- `list_audits`: free
- `generate_llms_txt`: 1 credit
- `validate_llms_txt`: free
- `validate_llms_url`: free
- `usage`: free

## Research

LLMready publishes AI readiness benchmarks from real crawls of popular websites by industry (https://answer-engine-ready.lovable.app/benchmarks) and per-site breakdowns (https://answer-engine-ready.lovable.app/is-ai-ready). Sites that block automated requests are listed as unmeasured rather than given a score.
