Top fixes

  1. OpenAPI spec discoverable

    Publish your OpenAPI spec at /openapi.json and link it from docs — it's the single highest-leverage artifact for agent integration.

    +5
  2. JSON-LD structured data

    Embed Organization + WebSite JSON-LD on your homepage (name, url, logo, sameAs) and Product/Offer JSON-LD on pricing.

    +4.6
  3. MCP handshake & tools list

    MCP endpoint https://mcp.replicate.com/sse failed handshake: auth-gated without RFC 9728 metadata. If auth-gated, return resource_metadata in WWW-Authenticate so agents can discover how to authenticate.

    +4
  4. agents.md

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

    +3
  5. OAuth authorization server metadata

    Serve RFC 8414 metadata at /.well-known/oauth-authorization-server with PKCE (S256) and a registration_endpoint so agents can self-onboard.

    +3
  6. Brand search discoverability

    Your domain doesn't surface when agents search "Replicate ai ml". Strengthen brand pages, structured data, and third-party citations (docs portals, GitHub, directories).

1.Can an agent discover and trust you?

8/12

Whether agents can crawl you, find you in the registries and searches they check, and trust what they find.

  • Sitemap present & freshrequired2/4

    Sitemap at https://replicate.com/sitemap.xml is valid XML with 39 entries, but the freshest <lastmod> is 2026-05-13 (97 days ago — older than 90 days)

    fix → Update <lastmod> dates as pages change so agents can tell what's current. Freshest lastmod seen: 2026-05-13.

    Resolved the sitemap from robots.txt or /sitemap.xml, validated XML, and checked lastmod freshness

    spec ↗
  • Brand search discoverabilityrequired2/4

    fix → Your domain doesn't surface when agents search "Replicate ai ml". Strengthen brand pages, structured data, and third-party citations (docs portals, GitHub, directories).

    Ran clean brand-name web searches and checked whether your domain is cited in the results

  • MCP registry listingsrecommended4/4

    /.well-known/mcp/server-card.json serves JSON; searched "replicate.com" and "Replicate": listed in official MCP registry (1 of 3 reachable registries)

    Queried the official MCP registry, Smithery, Glama, and PulseMCP for servers matching your domain

    spec ↗

2.Do you welcome agents?

13/16

Whether your robots policy, bot protection, and agent guidance actively admit AI agents instead of blocking them.

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

  • agents.mdrecommended0/3

    No agents.md: https://replicate.com/agents.md → HTTP 404, https://replicate.com/AGENTS.md → HTTP 404

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

    Fetched /agents.md and checked for substantive agent guidance

    spec ↗

3.Does an agent understand who you are and what you do?

11/18

Whether your pages carry machine-readable identity: structured data, llms.txt, clear copy an agent can quote.

  • Homepage states what you arerequired3/3

    Homepage clarity rated 5/5 — an agent can confidently say what this company does (model's one-sentence read: "Replicate is an AI/ML platform that allows developers to run, fine-tune, and deploy machine learning models using an API, with automatic scaling and infrastructure management.")

    An LLM read your homepage as an agent would and rated how confidently it could say what you do

  • OpenGraph / social metadatarecommended1/2

    Homepage has og:description but is missing og:title, og:image (twitter:card absent)

5.Is your integration well-built?

watch →2/5

Whether your specs, docs, and tools are complete and descriptive enough for an agent to use them without guessing.

  • OpenAPI validity & qualityrecommendedna

    No OpenAPI spec found — nothing to lint

    Linted the spec: descriptions, operationIds, securitySchemes, servers

  • Docs qualityrecommended2/3

    Docs at https://replicate.com/docs scored clarity 4/5, completeness 3/5, runnable examples 3/5, agent-friendliness 3/5 (mean 3.3/5)

    fix → Docs scored 3/5 on completeness. The documentation provides a high-level overview of many topics but lacks deep, actionable details for an agent to perform specific tasks without further exploration.

    An LLM rated your docs for clarity, completeness, runnable examples, and agent-friendliness

  • Quickstart / getting startedrecommended0/2

    No quickstart/getting-started link or heading found on docs page https://replicate.com/docs (searched 190 links)
