Why a curated agent-ready directory beats a raw crawl
Agents need trustworthy pointers to sites that actually expose machine-readable specs—not every URL that happens to rank on a keyword.
The crawl problem
A fully automated directory can index thousands of domains quickly, but it also publishes:
- Stale or broken
llms.txtfiles - Marketing pages with no MCP or API surface
- Sites the owner never opted into
Humans and agents both waste time filtering noise.
What we do instead
AI Agent Pages stays curated:
- Submit or discovery — Founders submit; we also probe promising URLs in an admin-only discovery queue.
- Human review — Pending listings are approved or rejected with notes.
- Claim — Discovered listings stay unclaimed until someone signs in with a matching domain email and claims ownership.
- Reference listings — Editorial examples are labeled clearly and are not membership claims.
That flow protects your brand and gives agents a higher signal catalog.
SEO and education still matter
Curated does not mean secret. We publish guides on llms.txt, MCP server cards, and agent-ready SaaS setup so you can improve before you submit.
List your site
When your specs are in place, submit for review. If we discover you first, watch for outreach—or claim after approval.
Put this into practice on your site.
Run through the checklist, then list your site in the curated directory.
