BotFriendly tools (7, 1 write)
write = sends, deletes, buys or postscheck_siteFreeScore how bot-friendly a website is (0-100). Fetches the site the way an agent would — no JavaScript, no cookies — and checks access (reachability, HTTPS, robots.txt, AI crawlers allowed, real 404s), content without JavaScript (H1, 500+ chars of raw text, metadata, JSON-LD), and machine discovery (llms.txt, sitemap, OpenAPI spec or ai-plugin.json), with evidence and fix advice per check. Set format to 'prompt' to instead get a ready-to-paste coding-agent prompt that fixes every failed finding. Rate limited to 6 checks per minute per caller; each check takes a few seconds.
get_featuredFreeGet site-wide featured/promoted services (max 3). These are paid placements clearly marked as ads.
get_protocol_statsFreeGet adoption stats for every protocol BotFriendly tracks: the machine-readable interfaces (MCP, OpenAPI) and the agent payment, authorization, and commerce protocols (x402, mpp, l402, ap2, tap, agent-pay, ace, acp, ucp, actp, icc). Each entry carries its sponsor, layer, spec URL, and how many listed services support it.
get_serviceFreeGet full details for a specific service by its slug, including all protocol support, URLs, auth method, billing, and metadata.
list_categoriesFreeList every BotFriendly category with its id (the search_services category value), human label, aliases (older slugs still accepted), description and service count.
search_servicesFreeSearch the BotFriendly directory for bot-friendly services, APIs, and tools that AI agents can use. Filter by category, payment/commerce protocol support (x402, MPP, L402, AP2, TAP, Agent Pay, ACE, ACP, UCP, ACTP, ICC), auth method, and more. Results may start with up to 3 promoted listings (paid ads) pinned to the top — site-wide ads on unfiltered searches, category ads on category searches — clearly marked with promoted:true and ad:true. Use promoted=false to exclude ads.
submit_servicewrite actionFreeSubmit a service to the BotFriendly directory. There is no review queue: each interface URL must be on the service's own domain and is fetched during the call, and the listing publishes immediately if one answers. Every listing needs an icon — pass icon_url, or leave it out and the service's own site is checked for one.
