Ora's cached score: 69, grade C, scanned 16 October 2026. ## The parse modelcontextprotocol.io lists 364 links: 364 point at modelcontextprotocol.io or a relative path, 0 point elsewhere. The hosts it links most: modelcontextprotocol.io (364). The file has no H2 sections. ## Grade against the llmstxt.org structure The file passes 4 of 6 checks and fails 2: has a blockquote summary under the h1; has at least one h2 section that lists links. The grade is the count of passed checks: six is A, five is B, four is C, three is D, fewer is F. It measures structure only. Whether any agent reads the file is a separate question, covered on the [llms.txt reference](https://agentreadyhtml.com/llms-txt/). | Check | Result | Detail | | --- | --- | --- | | Starts with an H1 naming the site or project | Pass | H1: Model Context Protocol | | Has a blockquote summary under the H1 | Fail | No blockquote summary before the first H2. | | Has at least one H2 section that lists links | Fail | 0 H2 sections, 0 with links. | | At least 80 percent of links point at the same site | Pass | 364 of 364 links stay on modelcontextprotocol.io (100 percent). | | Under 100 KB | Pass | 50527 bytes as served. | | Plain markdown, no HTML | Pass | No HTML document markers in the body. | ## Ora's cached score Ora's cached report for modelcontextprotocol.io gives it **69 of 100, grade C**, scanned on 16 October 2026. Its Access layer, which holds the read-layer checks below, scored 41 of 58 check points. Read from GET ora.ai/api/score/modelcontextprotocol.io on 5 November 2026. The score is Ora's, not this site's, and the structure grade above is a different measure: it grades the llms.txt file against the llmstxt.org proposal, while Ora's score covers the whole site. [Ora's report for modelcontextprotocol.io](https://ora.ai/score/modelcontextprotocol.io?utm_source=agentreadyhtml.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=index-entry) has every layer. | Ora check (Access layer) | Result | Points | | --- | --- | --- | | Sitemap exists | Pass | 2 of 2 | | Content without JavaScript | Partial | 2 of 3 | | Not blocked by bot detection | Pass | 2 of 2 | | Markdown URL fallback | Pass | 2 of 2 | | llms.txt exists | Pass | 1 of 1 | | llms.txt formatting | Partial | 1 of 2 | | JSON-LD structured data | Partial | 2 of 4 | | Metadata completeness | Pass | 2 of 2 | | llms.txt links resolve | Pass | 2 of 2 | | Markdown alternate link | Pass | 1 of 1 | | Redirect hygiene | Pass | 1 of 1 | | Page token budget | Pass | 1 of 1 | | Code fence validity | Pass | 1 of 1 | | Content behind auth | Pass | 2 of 2 | | OpenAPI spec published | Fail | 0 of 7 | | Markdown agent docs | Pass | 1 of 1 | | Markdown negotiation with Vary | Partial | 0 of 1 | | Markdown for agent user agents | Fail | 0 of 1 | | Agent crawler reachability | Pass | 2 of 2 | ## Linking and the companion file The home page of modelcontextprotocol.io links the file in its HTML. Ora's lab found (2026-10-19) that 86 percent of llms.txt fetches by agents arrived through a link, so an unlinked file is mostly a file nobody opens. An llms-full.txt is served at the same root. ## How it compares At 49 KB the file is larger than 91 percent of the 2,529 plain-text llms.txt files in this edition, and its 364 links put it ahead of 94 percent of them on link count. The home page declares a Mintlify generator. Size bucket: 10 to 50 KB. Tranco rank 8,985. Category: Standard. Why it is in the index: Long link list with no H2 sections at all. Owner as listed: Model Context Protocol. Live file: [https://modelcontextprotocol.io/llms.txt](https://modelcontextprotocol.io/llms.txt). Read 4 November 2026. If the file has since changed or gone, the live URL is the authority; this page records what the crawl read on that date. - [All entries](https://agentreadyhtml.com/llms-txt-index/) - [Edition 2026-11-04](https://agentreadyhtml.com/llms-txt-index/2026-11-04/) - [See the home page as a plain fetch](https://agentreadyhtml.com/viewer/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fmodelcontextprotocol.io%2F) ## Sources 1.
