Definition

What is agent.json and the agentic web?

agent.json is a proposed manifest at the site root that declares an AI agent contract for the website: supported tasks, endpoints, authentication, and content fetching paths. It pairs with the MCP (Model Context Protocol) standard to make a website fully agent-readable.

FAQ

agent.json and the agentic web questions from United States operators

Is agent.json an official standard?

It is an emerging convention rather than a ratified W3C standard. Several vendors are converging on the format. Adoption is highest among AI-native and developer-tool brands.

What goes inside agent.json?

Site identity, supported task types, content fetching endpoints (often /api/agent/*), authentication, MCP server location, rate limits, and a permissive license declaration.

Does agent.json affect SEO?

Not directly. It affects AI agent discoverability, which is a separate channel. Treat it as part of the GEO stack, not the SEO stack.

How does it relate to MCP?

agent.json declares the contract; an MCP server implements the methods. A site can have one without the other, but the pair gives full coverage.

Should every site ship one?

If the site has structured content (products, services, locations, knowledge base), yes. If it is purely brochure-ware with no machine-readable data, the value is lower.
