Top fixes

  1. MCP handshake & tools list

    MCP endpoint https://docs.browserless.io/mcp/browserless-mcp-server failed handshake: HTTP 404. Support streamable HTTP with protocol version negotiation; if auth-gated, return RFC 9728 metadata in WWW-Authenticate.

    +3.7
  2. agents.md

    Add /agents.md: what agents may do on your site, key URLs, auth, rate limits, and who to contact.

    +2.8
  3. MCP server discovery

    Publish /.well-known/mcp/server-card.json describing your MCP endpoint so agents can autodiscover it. Evidence found: llms.txt.

    +2.3
  4. Auth documentation

    Document auth end-to-end (key creation → header format → example call), or ship /auth.md.

    +1.9
  5. PyPI SDK

    Publish an official Python SDK (suggest "browserless") with your domain in the project URLs so agents can verify it's official.

    +1.9
  6. Semantic HTML structure

    Add the missing structure: <header>/<footer>, text-to-markup ratio ≥ 0.10. Agents parse structure, not pixels.

    spec ↗
  • !Agent user-agent paritybetarequirederror

    Browser UA received HTTP 200 with bot-challenge markers — cannot evaluate parity (the site may be blocking our scanner)

    Compared responses served to browser and AI-agent user-agents (informational while in beta)

  • agents.mdrecommended0/3

    No agents.md: https://browserless.io/agents.md → HTTP 404, https://browserless.io/AGENTS.md → HTTP 404
