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.

SuperHQ is a macOS desktop app that runs Claude Code, OpenAI Codex, and other AI coding agents inside isolated Debian microVMs. Your project mounts at /workspace as a read-only overlay — all agent changes stay sandboxed until you review and approve them through a unified diff panel. Launched April 4, 2026 in early alpha, built in Rust with GPUI, it supports VM snapshots for instant rollback and secret proxying so your .env never reaches the agent. It's essentially a safety layer for the increasingly autonomous AI coding workflow.
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.”
“This is the missing piece for anyone running Claude Code on real projects. The overlay filesystem means you can let the agent go wild without fear — review, apply, or revert. The VM snapshot feature alone is worth the price of admission (which is currently free). Rough edges in alpha, but the architecture is right.”
“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.”
“Launched 8 days ago, 37 stars, and their own README says 'largely vibe-coded' and 'not ready for production use.' That's three separate red flags in one sentence. The concept is solid but this is a weekend project dressed up as infrastructure. Come back in six months when it's actually been tested.”
“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.”
“Sandboxed agent execution is not optional — it's where the whole industry is heading. SuperHQ is early but it's defining the architecture that enterprise AI coding tooling will converge on. The microVM approach mirrors what Anthropic's own managed agents use. Get familiar with this pattern now.”
“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 diff review panel is a genuinely well-designed UX for an alpha product — it makes the agent's changes legible before you commit. Still very rough on onboarding and the documentation is sparse. But for anyone who's ever had an AI agent stomp over their codebase, this is cathartic.”
