IsItAgentReady is a free web scanner that audits any URL for AI agent readiness across 36 checkpoints organized in five categories: robots.txt compliance (covering all 13 major AI crawler bots), structured data (17 Schema.org types), llms.txt implementation, MCP endpoint detection, and OAuth/agentic commerce readiness. Each category gets a letter grade with specific, actionable fix instructions. The tool was built by a two-person team responding to a growing pain point: as AI agents replace search engine crawlers as the primary way content is discovered and consumed, most websites are not configured to be agent-accessible. A site might have perfect SEO but actively block Claude, GPT, or Perplexity crawlers in its robots.txt — effectively invisible to the AI-driven web. IsItAgentReady surfaces these gaps in about 15 seconds. It also ships as an MCP server, making it usable directly from Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, or any MCP-compatible environment: run a scan from the terminal and get structured results without leaving your editor. The project is positioned as "Google PageSpeed Insights for the agentic web" — a framing that resonated on Hacker News where it appeared as a Show HN with strong engagement.

OpenCode is a fully open-source AI coding agent built by Anomaly that runs in the terminal, desktop, and IDE — and connects to more than 75 LLM providers including Claude, GPT, Gemini, and local models. It currently has over 140,000 GitHub stars and 850 contributors, making it one of the fastest-growing open-source developer tools of 2026. Unlike vendor-locked coding agents, OpenCode lets developers bring their own subscriptions (ChatGPT Plus, GitHub Copilot) or connect local models through LM Studio. It supports the Agent Client Protocol (ACP) for broad IDE compatibility — JetBrains, Zed, Neovim, Emacs, VS Code, and Cursor — and emphasizes a privacy-first architecture that never stores your code or context data. The optional Zen tier provides a curated, benchmarked set of AI models specifically optimized for coding workflows, offering a premium experience without locking users into a single cloud provider. With an Early Bird period ending April 14, OpenCode is rapidly becoming the go-to open alternative to Claude Code and Copilot for developers who want control over their stack.
Reviewer scorecard
“The MCP server integration is the killer feature — I ran it directly from Claude Code on three client sites and had actionable fixes within a minute. The robots.txt check alone is worth the trip: most sites are blocking AI crawlers without realizing it.”
“140K stars isn't hype — OpenCode has real momentum because it solves the actual problem: vendor lock-in. I can use my existing Claude subscription, switch to a local Gemma model when I need privacy, and have it work in every IDE I already use. This is what the coding agent space needed.”
“The 36 checkpoints sound comprehensive but several are aspirational standards that haven't been widely adopted yet — like MCP endpoint detection and agentic commerce. You risk over-engineering your site for agent features that most users will never use in 2026.”
“The 'works with 75 models' pitch sounds great until you realize most of those models are dramatically worse at coding than Claude or GPT-5. The premium Zen tier is where the real value likely lives, and we don't know what that costs yet. Wait to see how Zen pricing shakes out before committing.”
“This is the 2026 equivalent of Google's mobile-friendly test from 2015. Sites that fail that test eventually lost traffic — sites that fail agent-readiness checks will lose AI-driven discovery. IsItAgentReady is the early warning system before that penalty is enforced.”
“OpenCode is the Mozilla Firefox moment for AI coding tools — an open-source reference implementation that keeps the big players honest on privacy and portability. The Agent Client Protocol integration points toward a future where your coding agent context travels across every tool in your workflow seamlessly.”
“The graded report with step-by-step fix workflows is genuinely well-designed — it's the kind of output you can hand directly to a developer or a client without translation. Clean, actionable, and free.”
“The multi-session and shareable session link features are underrated for creative teams. Being able to share an in-progress coding session with a designer or content collaborator without spinning up another subscription is genuinely useful. Privacy-first matters a lot when working with client IP.”
