- [The agent readiness checklist: 22 checks for an AI-ready website](https://aispeedforce.com/blog/agent-readiness-checklist/): Agent readiness 23 September 2026. Twenty-two checks in six groups, from robots.txt and llms.txt to API catalogs, agent skills and WebMCP. What each one tells an AI agent, which ones every site needs, and which only matter if you run APIs or sell online.
- [Markdown for agents: serving Markdown with content negotiation](https://aispeedforce.com/blog/markdown-for-agents-content-negotiation/): Agent readiness 23 September 2026. Agents read Markdown far more cheaply than HTML. Serve a Markdown copy when a request asks for text/markdown, keep HTML the default, and link the copy from every page.
- [MCP servers for business: when you need one and how to keep it safe](https://aispeedforce.com/blog/mcp-servers-for-business/): Agent readiness 23 September 2026. An MCP server exposes your systems to AI agents through one standard interface. It is worth building when agents need to act inside your business, not just read about it.
- [Agent skills and the ai-catalog: telling agents how to use your site](https://aispeedforce.com/blog/agent-skills-and-ai-catalog/): Agent readiness 23 September 2026. Agent skills are short instruction files that teach an agent to do one job with your site. A discovery index lists them, and the draft ai-catalog lets registries find them.
- [API catalogs and Link headers: how agents find your APIs](https://aispeedforce.com/blog/api-catalog-and-link-headers/): Agent readiness 23 September 2026. Two small standards tell agents where your APIs are: an HTTP Link header on the homepage, and a well-known api-catalog file that lists each API and its description.
