crawler

check_ai_crawler_access

Checks whether AI crawlers (GPTBot, OAI-SearchBot, ChatGPT-User, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot, Google-Extended and others) can actually reach a website. Goes beyond robots.txt: fetches the site as each crawler and detects firewall/CDN blocks (Cloudflare, Akamai, Imperva), challenge pages, noindex and llms.txt. Returns a 0-100 AI Access Score, a per-crawler verdict and the top issues with fixes. Takes 15-60 seconds.

AI Crawler Access Check — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can AI Crawler Access Check do?

It exposes 1 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: check_ai_crawler_access. The full list with descriptions is on this page — we take it from the server itself via tools/list, not from a README. How MCP servers expose tools in the first place →

Is AI Crawler Access Check working right now?

We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 0 of 91 checks got a reply (0.0%), average response time 115 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.

The registry lists AI Crawler Access Check as active — why does it not respond?

The official MCP registry stores what the author submitted; it does not verify that the server still runs. We check the endpoint ourselves, and this one does not answer. Catalogues that copy the registry without checking will show it as working.

How do I connect AI Crawler Access Check?

Copy the ready config from this page. We generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each in the form that client actually reads. It is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address.

Does AI Crawler Access Check need an API key?

No. AI Crawler Access Check completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 1 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.
