Top fixes

  1. MCP server discovery

    Publish /.well-known/mcp/server-card.json describing your MCP endpoint so agents can autodiscover it. Evidence found: none.

    +13.3
  2. Docs discoverable

    Expose public docs at /docs or docs.withsherpa.ai and link them from your homepage nav.

    +10.7
  3. agents.md

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

    +8
  4. Brand search discoverability

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

    +6.2
  5. llms.txt

    +4.6
  6. AI crawler policy

    robots.txt blocks GPTBot, OAI-SearchBot, ChatGPT-User, ClaudeBot, Claude-User, Claude-SearchBot, anthropic-ai, PerplexityBot, Google-Extended, CCBot, meta-externalagent, Bytespider from /docs or /pricing. Allow AI agents to read your docs and pricing — that's the content they act on.
