MCP manifest present and valid
What the check finds
No /.well-known/mcp.json. MCP is how an assistant discovers tools a site exposes rather than only reading its pages.
The MCP manifest at /.well-known/mcp.json is malformed, so an assistant cannot discover the tools this site offers.
Why it matters for AI answers
An MCP manifest helps an assistant find tools the site offers, beyond reading its pages. It matters only for sites that run an MCP server, and few assistants look for it yet.
How to fix it
- Skip this if the site does not run an MCP server.
- If it does, publish /.well-known/mcp.json describing the server endpoint and tools.
- Validate the JSON and serve it with Content-Type: application/json and status 200.
