What does the agent readiness check test?

Real protocol probes of .well-known files (openapi.json, mcp.json, ai-plugin.json, security.txt), a live MCP initialize handshake, A2A agent-card validation, a 20-user-agent crawler audit, and a JS-parity check.

What this means for brooksrunning.com

On brooksrunning.com (Custom), 1 of 9 readable agent standards are in place: Wikidata. Missing: Mcp, Webmcp, A2a, Anp, Ucp, Ap2, Openapi, Llms Txt.

Without JavaScript, your brand name still appears in the raw HTML, so crawlers that do not run JS can read it.

brooksrunning.com scores higher than 17% of the 127 sites checked here so far; the average readiness score is 24/100.

Make brooksrunning.com agent-ready

Start with the highest-impact gap: Mcp. Publish a working MCP endpoint at /.well-known/mcp.json (the initialize handshake must succeed, not just return 200), add an A2A agent card, and keep the crawler path clean.

Frequently asked questions

Are these real probes or AI guesses?

Real probes. We fetch the actual files, run a real MCP initialize handshake, and validate A2A cards against their schema. No model decides a verdict.

Does brooksrunning.com need every standard to pass?

No. Start with the highest-impact gap above, then add the rest. Most sites win the most by shipping a working MCP endpoint and keeping the crawler path clean.
