What this MCP does

Checks whether agents may fetch a URL by examining robots.txt, content-use directives, licenses, and live server responses, and explains the resulting access verdicts.

access_check_url
Check whether an agent may fetch a URL
Given a URL, say whether an AI agent may fetch it, on what terms, and at what price. Reads robots.txt for a generic agent and for every AI user-agent the operators document, the Content-signal and Content-Usage directives, any RSL licence the origin links, and the live response to an honestly-identified request. Verdicts: `allowed` (it served us), `allowed_if_identified` (the written policy permits this but bot management refused an anonymous request — signing as a named crawler is the documented route), `charged` (there is a price, quoted where the rail will show one), `blocked` (the site disallows the agents that would want this, with nothing to buy), and `unknown` (the origin did not answer, or the URL is not there). Never evades: no CAPTCHA solving, no proxies, no spoofed user-agents. Refusals come back as findings with the evidence attached.

access_explain_verdicts
What the verdicts mean
Return the five verdicts this index can return, what each one means for an agent that has just been refused, and what the agent's next move is for each. Costs nothing and makes no request; call it once to interpret access_check_url results.

access_list_agents
AI user-agents this index reports on
Return the AI crawler tokens this index reads robots.txt rules for — only tokens their operators document — plus the widely-written tokens that no operator sends, which make a robots rule unenforceable. Useful when writing or auditing a robots.txt.
