Agent Ready

What is Agent Ready?

Agent Ready is an AI agent readability scanner that takes any public URL and returns a 0–100 score with per-check remediation hints. It wraps the same engine powering agent-ready.dev and lets Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, Cline, VS Code, and Windsurf run scans inline and explain results.

How to use Agent Ready?

Configure the MCP server in your client’s mcpServers setting using npx -y agent-ready-mcp@latest and set the AGENT_READY_API_KEY environment variable (Pro or Team tier required). Once connected, use the scan_site tool to run a fresh scan or get_scan to fetch a previous scan by id. Prompts like scan, interpret_scan, and remediation_plan provide plain‑English summaries and prioritized fix documentation.
