Scan any URL to see how visible and usable it is to Claude, GPT, Copilot, and autonomous agent frameworks.\n\n```bash\nnpx botvisibility stripe.com\n```\n\n## Why this exists\n\nWhen AI agents browse a site that doesn't publish machine-readable metadata or APIs, they fall back to scraping HTML, guessing endpoints, and retrying. That burns 5-100x more tokens per session and silently inflates the cost of every agent interaction. BotVisibility runs 55 automated checks across 5 levels and tells you exactly what's missing and how to fix it.\n\n## Install \u0026 run\n\nNo install needed:\n\n```bash\nnpx botvisibility \u003curl\u003e\n```\n\nOr globally:\n\n```bash\nnpm install -g botvisibility\nbotvisibility stripe.com\n```\n\n## Usage\n\n```bash\n# Basic URL scan\nnpx botvisibility https://example.com\n\n# JSON output for CI/CD\nnpx botvisibility stripe.com --json\n\n# Full scan with local repo analysis (unlocks Level 5)\nnpx botvisibility https://myapp.com --repo ./\n\n# Combined scan with JSON output\nnpx botvisibility mysite.com --repo ../my-backend --json\n```\n\n## What it checks\n\nFive levels, 55 total checks. The full reference lives in [`docs/checks.md`](https://github.com/jjanisheck/botvisibility/blob/main/docs/checks.md). Quick overview:\n\n- **Level 1 — Discoverable (18 checks):** llms.txt, agent-card, OpenAPI spec, robots.txt AI policy, MCP server, ai.json, skill files, RSS, page token efficiency, content signals, API catalog (RFC 9727), markdown-for-agents, WebMCP, and more.\n- **Level 2 — Usable (11 checks):** API read/write/primary actions, API key auth, scoped keys, OIDC, structured errors, async ops, idempotency, OAuth protected-resource (RFC 9728), x402 payments.\n- **Level 3 — Optimized (7 checks):** sparse fields, cursor pagination, filtering, bulk ops, rate limit headers, caching headers, MCP tool quality.\n- **Level 4 — Indexable (12 checks):** Googlebot allowed, Google-Extended policy, homepage indexable, sitemap, HTTPS, viewport, JSON-LD, entity schema, canonical URL, heading hierarchy, image alt coverage, substantive content.\n- **Level 5 — Agent-Native (7 checks, `--repo` required):** intent endpoints, agent sessions, scoped agent tokens, audit logs, sandbox env, consequence labels, native tool schemas.\n\n## Scoring\n\nBotVisibility uses a weighted cross-level algorithm so investing in higher-level capabilities still moves your score even if some low-level items are missing. Full algorithm and worked examples in [`docs/scoring.md`](https://github.com/jjanisheck/botvisibility/blob/main/docs/scoring.md).\n\n## CI/CD integration\n\nDrop into any CI to catch agent-readiness regressions:\n\n```yaml\n- name: Check BotVisibility\n  run: |\n    SCORE=$(npx botvisibility mysite.com --json | jq '.currentLevel')\n    if [ \"$SCORE\" -lt 1 ]; then\n      echo \"BotVisibility score below Level 1\"\n      exit 1\n    fi\n```\n\nRecipes for GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, and CircleCI in [`docs/ci-integration.md`](https://github.com/jjanisheck/botvisibility/blob/main/docs/ci-integration.md).\n\n## The agent tax\n\nEvery unoptimized interaction costs AI agents extra tokens. At Claude Sonnet 4.6 rates and 1,000 agent visits per day, an unoptimized site can waste **$22,800/month** in tokens. Full analysis and methodology in [`docs/agent-tax.md`](https://github.com/jjanisheck/botvisibility/blob/main/docs/agent-tax.md).\n\n## Changelog\n\nRelease notes for every version live in [`CHANGELOG.md`](https://github.com/jjanisheck/botvisibility/blob/main/CHANGELOG.md). Latest: **2.0.1** — maintenance release (CLI-only repo cleanup, CI fix); scans identically to **2.0.0**, which expanded to 55 checks across 5 levels (Level 4 Indexable is new; Agent-Native IDs shifted from `4.x` to `5.x` — breaking).\n\n## Contributing\n\nContributions welcome.
