Question 1

What is AI agent readiness?

Accepted Answer

AI agent readiness measures how well a website can be understood, navigated, and interacted with by autonomous AI agents such as Google Gemini, OpenAI Operator, and Anthropic Computer Use. It covers semantic HTML structure, metadata, accessibility, discoverability, and WebMCP compatibility.

Question 2

What is WebMCP?

Accepted Answer

WebMCP (Web Model Context Protocol) is a browser API introduced in Chrome 146 that lets websites declare structured tools for AI agents. Instead of agents guessing how to interact with forms and buttons, WebMCP gives them a structured contract — similar to a REST API but for browser-based agents.

Question 3

How does GlobalDex score websites?

Accepted Answer

GlobalDex runs 34 checks across 5 categories: Structure (semantic HTML, heading hierarchy, content ratio, link depth, error pages), Metadata (title, description, JSON-LD, favicon, hreflang, schema types), Accessibility (labels, alt text, ARIA, mobile responsiveness, tables), Discoverability (robots.txt, sitemap, llms.txt, AI bot directives, security headers, API detection, RSS feeds), and WebMCP (navigator.modelContext support). Each check is weighted and combined into a 0-100 score.

Question 4

Is GlobalDex free to use?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The web scanner, public API, CLI tool, Chrome Extension, and GitHub Action are all free. No account required.
