Today
Your pipe bursts. You Google "plumber Boise." You see ads, Yelp, Angi. You click through 4 sites, read reviews, call 2 numbers, leave a voicemail, wait.
Tomorrow
Your pipe bursts. Your home assistant asks Claude for the fastest available plumber in Boise. Claude checks MCP-connected plumbers, reads availability, confirms pricing via structured data, and books the appointment — no human in the loop.
The plumber with an MCP manifest and structured pricing gets the job. The one with a Squarespace splash page doesn't even get considered.

The web is getting a second audience

Humans browse websites. AI agents are doing the research, the comparison shopping, and increasingly the buying. 36% of people already use AI instead of Google for some searches. 93% of AI-powered searches end without a click to any website. The $10.9B AI agent market is growing at 46% annually.

This isn't coming. It's here. MCP — the Model Context Protocol — went from zero to 10,000+ indexed servers in 18 months. Anthropic donated it to the Linux Foundation. AWS, Google, Microsoft, and Salesforce are backing it. 40% of enterprise apps will have AI agents by end of 2026.

What the score measures

Six categories, each scored 0–10. No AI model required — it's all deterministic HTTP checks. Takes 2–5 seconds per domain.

Why I built this

I've spent 15 years building data products — entity resolution, identity graphs, audience platforms. Hundreds of millions of company records, thousands of attributes per record. But none of them had this one.

When I got a Mac Studio M4 Max, Claude Code on Max plan, and access to open-source models through Ollama, something clicked. I could build real data products — the kind that used to require a team and a budget — by myself, overnight, at zero inference cost. My co-founder Jody and I started Product Hacker as a place to do exactly that.

Honestly, this is the most exciting thing that's ever happened to me professionally. I wake up every day energized. I crush my day job. And then I can't wait to get home and see what Stu — our Mac Studio — built overnight. 14,000 businesses classified, enriched, and scored while I slept. It still feels like magic.

The agent readiness scanner was one of those overnight projects. Define the attribute. Write the scanner. Run 2,681 domains. Publish the results. All in one night. No model needed — just HTTP checks and a clear thesis about what matters.

What you can do with it

If you're a company: check your score. If it's below 50, you're invisible to AI agents. The fixes are straightforward — add a sitemap, structured data, maybe an llms.txt. Thirty minutes of work can double your score.

If you sell to companies: this is a segmentation you can't get anywhere else. The 4% that score an A are your early adopters for AI tooling. The 44% in the C range need education. The 20% at F aren't ready for what you're selling yet.

If you're building AI agents: use the score to find businesses your agent can actually work with. No point sending an agent to a site with no structured data, no API, and a JavaScript-rendered splash page.

It's free and open

The Agent Ready 100 ranking is public. The business database is queryable through our MCP server. The scoring methodology is right here on this page. We're building a community data co-op — not a walled garden.
