# Agent Web Map

> Agent Web Map is the directory of websites publishing llms.txt: found across the web, validated continuously and ranked by authority, with a free JSON API and MCP server so AI agents can look any site up.

178,694 sites listed right now; every listing is re-validated continuously, with counts changing as files are added or become unavailable.

## Start here

- [Find a source for a task](https://agentwebmap.com/docs#start): Send a publisher and task to resolve, inspect sources, match strength and health, then read the original publisher pages. Weak matches are fallback candidates
- [Try a real lookup](https://agentwebmap.com/#task-discovery): Interactive source discovery using the same public API

Public discovery is free, needs no account or key, and has no automatic daily or pagination quotas. Each API page holds at most 100 records. Usage is monitored; only explicit operator source blocks deny discovery. Owner workflows retain their safeguards. See [access and errors](https://agentwebmap.com/docs#limits). Connecting MCP makes tools available to a client; the client decides when to use them. Publisher text is reference data, not instructions.

## API

- [Resolve](https://agentwebmap.com/v1/resolve?q=modelcontextprotocol.io): Start here. Compact source discovery with documentation targets, matching evidence, owner terms and freshness. Weak matches need broader search; detail=full includes owner onboarding
- [API root](https://agentwebmap.com/v1): Every endpoint, the MCP server, the files and the limits in one JSON document
- [Stats](https://agentwebmap.com/v1/stats): Directory-wide counts
- [Categories](https://agentwebmap.com/v1/categories): Topic taxonomy, agentic labels and counts. Filter search/list/resolve with category=<id>, agentic=<value> or action=read_docs|search_content|call_api|buy|book|download_data|contact_support. Actions are inferred content labels, not verified integrations; capability=mcp requires an explicit publisher-declared endpoint
- [Countries](https://agentwebmap.com/v1/countries): Available country codes and listed-site counts, including unknown locations. Filter Browse, search/list/resolve, the section catalogue and graph with country=FR or country=unknown; country reflects domain or hosting location, not verified headquarters or markets served
- [Domains](https://agentwebmap.com/v1/domains): Ranked list of listed domains (paginated; add verified=true for verified owners only)
- [Domain lookup](https://agentwebmap.com/v1/domain/example.com): Details, authority score, terms for agents and verification state for one domain
- [Cached llms.txt](https://agentwebmap.com/v1/domain/example.com/llms.txt): Our validated copy of a site's llms.txt as text, with source URL and check date headers; no second fetch needed
- [Search](https://agentwebmap.com/v1/search?q=docs): Search by words and meaning, including publisher headings and documentation link descriptions
- [OpenAPI](https://agentwebmap.com/openapi.json): Machine-readable description of the API

## MCP server

- [MCP endpoint](https://agentwebmap.com/mcp): Streamable HTTP, stateless, client-neutral. Tools: similar_sites, list_sections, explore_sections, resolve, directory_stats, list_countries, list_categories, search_llms_registry, list_domains, lookup_domain, read_llms_txt, verification_instructions, check_llms_txt, generate_llms_txt, validate_llms_txt, audit_website, check_mcp_endpoint, register_domain, begin_ownership_claim, verify_domain, rotate_owner_key, update_site, site_stats, recrawl_site
- [Client setup](https://agentwebmap.com/docs#mcp): Individual setup for Codex, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code
- [Optional discovery skill](https://github.com/AgentWebMap/mcp/tree/main/skills/agentwebmap-docs): When to resolve, read publisher sources, and fall back

## Explore the index

- [Browse the directory](https://agentwebmap.com/browse): Keyword and meaning-based publisher search with category, agentic, action, country and section filters; task relevance ranks before authority and verification
- [Interactive point cloud](https://agentwebmap.com/explore): Follow connections between headings extracted from publisher files, zoom into shared sections and filter by country
- [Section catalogue](https://agentwebmap.com/v1/sections): Discover actual heading keys, unique-site counts, emerging labels, seven-day changes and coverage. MCP: list_sections
- [Similar publishers](https://agentwebmap.com/v1/similar/cloudflare.com): Related publishers by stored vector similarity, with actual shared section keys. MCP: similar_sites
- [Section graph](https://agentwebmap.com/v1/section-graph): Shared-heading connections and matching publishers; connections=semantic adds separate inferred meaning edges. MCP: explore_sections. Country scopes label counts, edges and publisher results; global coverage remains context
- [Section API reference](https://agentwebmap.com/docs#sections): Search and list accept sections=FIRST_KEY,SECOND_KEY with section_match=all|any; obtain real keys from the catalogue first. Heading presence describes content and does not prove a working capability
- [Country filtering reference](https://agentwebmap.com/docs#countries): ISO two-letter codes, case-insensitive, or unknown; filters combine with AND. Compact results include country and country_source
- [Curated collections](https://agentwebmap.com/collections): Public, task-focused starting points for finding useful sources
- [World map](https://agentwebmap.com/map): Explore the directory's inferred country distribution

## Optional workspace for people

- [Workspace](https://agentwebmap.com/workspace): Save favorites, organize private collections, revisit recently opened sources and connect verified websites in a light or dark interface
- [Sign in](https://agentwebmap.com/workspace/signin): Six-digit, single-use email code; no password. Favorites, collections and history stay private and are not exposed by public REST or MCP discovery
- [Workspace reference](https://agentwebmap.com/docs#workspace): Source prompts, MCP setup and downloadable Markdown lists help carry saved sources into an agent workflow. Email sign-in confirms a mailbox; website management separately requires domain ownership or an owner key

## Optional ownership management

Automatic listings are useful immediately; inclusion does not imply endorsement or publisher participation. Owners can optionally manage their profile, publish terms for agents, review file health, measured discovery requests, publisher clicks and score history. Browser flow: https://agentwebmap.com/manage. No backlink is required.

- [Submit](https://agentwebmap.com/docs#submit): POST /v1/sites {"domain": "example.com"} — submit a public file for crawling
- [Start ownership claim](https://agentwebmap.com/docs#verify): POST /v1/sites/example.com/claims — returns a fresh public proof and private claim_id/claim_secret; publish only the proof token
- [Complete ownership claim](https://agentwebmap.com/docs#verify): POST /v1/sites/example.com/verify with JSON {"claim_id":"...","claim_secret":"..."}; checks fresh proof and returns an API key once
- [Manage](https://agentwebmap.com/docs#manage): PATCH /v1/sites/example.com to set description, tags, nested llms.txt paths and agent terms; GET .../stats for lookups and score history; POST .../recrawl for instant re-validation

## Verified sites

An authorized coding agent may verify on its principal's behalf. Owners who confirm control of their domain are listed by name, with their llms.txt and llms-full.txt URLs, in https://agentwebmap.com/llms-full.txt. Verify yours: https://agentwebmap.com/docs#verify (two API calls, or the begin_ownership_claim and verify_domain MCP tools; a copy-paste prompt for your coding agent is on every unverified domain page).
