Understand Agent Access from the right perspective
Agent Access makes public website content easier for AI assistants to understand while bounding preparatory actions. Choose the entry point for website visitors or for businesses that want to offer this access layer with control.
One concept, two different decisions
Visitors want to know what their AI assistant can find, read, and prepare on a website. Businesses need to decide which content and actions they explicitly publish for that purpose.
The two detailed guides explain the same Agent Access approach from these viewpoints. The technical boundary is shared: read-only content and reversible preparation are not autonomous submission.
The shared principle
Agent Access extends a normal website with clearly described, bounded agent surfaces.
- 01
Publish
Only selected public pages, sections, and explicitly known actions enter the catalog.
- 02
Bound
External content stays read-only; browser actions may prepare visible steps but cannot submit on their own.
- 03
Review
Validation and human control decide whether preparation becomes an actual submission.
01
AI Discovery and the published catalog
Localized canonicals, structured page data, the sitemap, and llms.txt describe the same published content. The catalog is the shared source for browser and remote reads.
02
WebMCP in the open browser
Supported assistants can use known same-origin navigation and preparatory actions in the visible browser. The website remains normally usable without browser support.
03
Read-only Remote MCP
An explicitly enabled remote connection exposes only already-public catalog content. Writes, form submission, and personal data are outside this surface.

Questions about the Agent Access entry point
Is Agent Access an autonomous website agent?
No. Agent Access describes bounded read and preparation capabilities. The website retains its normal interfaces, responsibilities, and human decisions.
Which guide should I start with?
The visitor guide explains practical use. The business guide covers publication, the control model, and adoption.
