Yandex 360 (Messenger): is the website ready for AI agents

360.yandex.ru·checked November 11, 2026
55.9out of 100
Has issues

Agents read the site but miss some important things.

Paste the task into Claude Code, Cursor or another agent with access to the site’s code.

  • Agent access: 89
  • Discoverability: 59
  • Content for models: 14
  • AI bot rules: 50
  • API and protocols: 48

Fix these first

First, what gets in agents’ way the most.

  1. 01

    The site serves Markdown when an agent asks

    Failed

    When the homepage is requested with “Accept: text/markdown”, return Markdown with “Content-Type: text/markdown” and “Vary: Accept”. Keep serving HTML for ordinary requests.

    An agent can ask for a page in Markdown instead of HTML and spend far less of its budget on markup.

    Pages have Markdown versions

    Failed

    Serve a Markdown version of pages at the URL ending in .md and reference it with <link rel="alternate" type="text/markdown"> on the page itself.

    The same page at a URL ending in .md: clean text with no menus or scripts.

  3. 03

    An API description (OpenAPI) is published

    Failed

    Publish an OpenAPI file (openapi.json or openapi.yaml) at a public URL and link to it from the docs.

    A file listing every API method in a machine format. An agent builds requests from it.

    An MCP server exists

    Failed

    Publish an MCP server and state its address in the docs, or put a server card at /.well-known/mcp/server-card.json.

    MCP is a way to plug a product into Claude, ChatGPT and other assistants as a set of ready-made tools.

  5. 05

    ChatGPT and Claude get the same page people do

    Failed

    Allow the ChatGPT-User and Claude-User user agents in your bot protection and server settings: they must get the same page a browser does.

    We open the homepage the way the ChatGPT and Claude agents do. If site protection answers them with a refusal or a CAPTCHA, a person never notices, and the agent leaves with nothing.

    robots.txt has rules for AI bots

    Failed

    Add separate User-agent groups for AI bots to robots.txt: GPTBot, ClaudeBot, OAI-SearchBot, PerplexityBot, YandexAdditional. Naming two is enough.

    AI bots are listed by name. Whether you allow or block them, it shows the choice was made.
