What to fix first

3 checks lose points. They are ranked by the points a fix would add back.

  1. 1

    Publish an OpenAPI description at a discoverable address when the product has an API.

  2. 2

    Publish an llms.txt index under 50,000 characters whose links point to Markdown pages.

  3. 3

    Add agent discovery signals such as Content Signals, an agent skills index, or an MCP server card.

Every check, with evidence

Each check shows what the audit found and the points it earned. Evidence links open the exact URL the audit requested.

Content delivery · 50/50

Content in server HTML

15/15 PASS

Agents and crawlers that fetch a page without a browser read only the HTML response. This check looks for the page’s main content in that response.

Found: The server HTML has 3,002 characters of main content; 250 are required.

Markdown mirror

15/15 PASS

Markdown is the cheapest format for an agent to read. This check looks for a Markdown version of this page and confirms that it is the same page.

Found: method: dom-alternate; 5,275 characters

  • Markdown version of this page (10/10)
  • Markdown matches the page (5/5)

Evidence: https://docs.expo.dev/index.md (opens in a new tab) · HTTP 200

Page fits one agent fetch

10/10 PASS

Agent tools commonly cut off long responses. This check measures the text an agent receives from this page.

Found: The Markdown version has 5,275 characters.

AI crawler access

10/10 PASS

AI search and user-triggered fetch agents read docs when a person asks a question. This check reads robots.txt rules for those agents.

Found: 0 of 11 AI search and user-triggered fetch agents are blocked in robots.txt.

Discovery · 21/25

llms.txt

11/15 PARTIAL

llms.txt is an index that points agents to the documentation. This check validates it, measures it, and samples its links.

  • Valid llms.txt index (7/7)
  • llms.txt under 50,000 characters (0/4, missing)

Evidence: https://docs.expo.dev/llms.txt (opens in a new tab) · HTTP 200

  • robots.txt present (1/1)
  • Sitemap declared (2/2)
  • Sitemap valid XML (2/2)

Page metadata

5/5 PASS

Structured page metadata in the server HTML helps machines identify the page and its preferred address.

Evidence: https://mcp.expo.dev/mcp (opens in a new tab) · HTTP 401
