AgentsReady
The agent onboarding benchmark

Can an AI agent get your API key?

Readiness checkers tell you whether agents can read your site. We send one to get a key: watch it search your docs, hit every human gate on the way, and time how long it takes.

Fastest to a key

We traced the shortest path from no account to a working credential for 64 platforms, and logged every point where a human has to step in. The leaders hand agents a sandbox key without an account and let a person claim it later.

How it works

Two runs, one minute

  1. Probe like an agent

    About 60 read-only requests as Claude-User: bot walls, robots.txt, llms.txt, markdown docs, OpenAPI, a live MCP handshake, and OAuth discovery down to dynamic client registration.

  2. Try to get a key

    A Claude agent reads your docs and maps the shortest path to a working credential. It never signs up or submits forms. It marks each step an agent can do alone, and each one that needs a person: email, phone OTP, card, KYC, sales.

  3. Fix the gates

    You get a fix pack: every missing piece as a file or snippet filled in for your domain (robots.txt, llms.txt, OAuth metadata, an MCP server, auth.md), each with a command to check it worked. Paste them yourself, or copy the whole pack as a prompt for your coding agent.
