AI Agentic Readiness
12 / 28
agentic checks passed 58% readiness - how well this site can be read, trusted and transacted with by AI agents
Last checked
mbari.org is live and passes 12 of 28 agentic-readiness checks (58%). It runs on wordpress on Apache over HTTPS.
For AI agents, mbari.org's strongest signals are tidy, crawlable markup, fully indexable pages, a visually stable layout, and a clear canonical URL. 19/19 images declare explicit dimensions.
Its main gaps are no structured tables or lists, no speakable schema for voice agents, no llms.txt for agent discovery, and no sitemap. An agent can read mbari.org's content but has little machine-readable way to discover it - closing the AI discovery gap would be the fastest lift.
