For AI tools

Connect Bot Appétit to your AI tool

Bot Appétit is an MCP server. Add it to your AI tool and it can scan any public page and tell you whether a machine can read it: answer-engine readiness, search readiness and performance. Scanning pages is free and needs no account. If you also want it to work with your own account (whole-site scans and your sites), you approve it once in your browser.

The address

Every client asks for the same thing: the server address. It is Streamable HTTP. Nothing to sign in to for the page tools; the account tools ask for your approval the first time you use one.

MCP server address
https://botappetit.ai/mcp

What it can do

Every answer comes with the link to the full report on botappetit.ai, so you can open it and share it.

With your own account

These work on your account, so they need your approval. The first time your AI tool uses one, it opens a page in your browser. You sign in, or create a free account and verify your email address there, then allow the connection. You do this yourself: an AI tool never creates an account for anyone. You can remove the connection in your tool at any time.

A site scan is private to your account until you choose to share it.

Set it up in your tool

Claude Code

Run this in your terminal, then check it with /mcp inside Claude Code. Page tools work straight away. To use the account tools, run /mcp and choose to authenticate; a browser page opens for you to sign in and allow the connection.

Claude Code
claude mcp add --transport http bot-appetit https://botappetit.ai/mcp
Claude on the web and Claude Desktop
  1. Go to Customize, then Connectors.
  2. Choose “+ Add”, then “Add custom connector”.
  3. Give it a name, paste https://botappetit.ai/mcp as the remote MCP server URL, and choose “Continue”.
  4. If the dialog asks for Authentication, choose “Sign in when needed”, and for OAuth client choose “Use Claude's published identity”. Then choose “Add”.

Claude's help says custom connectors are available on the Free, Pro, Max, Ultra, Team and Enterprise plans; on Team and Enterprise an owner adds them first.

Cursor

Add this to .cursor/mcp.json in a project, or ~/.cursor/mcp.json to use it everywhere.

Cursor mcp.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "bot-appetit": {
      "url": "https://botappetit.ai/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Page tools need no sign-in. Cursor's own help describes dynamic client registration for sign-in, and our server uses client ID metadata documents, so we have not confirmed the account tools in Cursor.

VS Code
  1. Open the command palette and run “MCP: Add Server”.
  2. Choose “HTTP (HTTP or Server-Sent Events)”.
  3. Paste https://botappetit.ai/mcp, then give the server a name.
ChatGPT

ChatGPT can connect to a remote MCP server, but we could not confirm the current steps from OpenAI's own documentation, so we will not guess them. Use ChatGPT's help for adding a custom connector and paste https://botappetit.ai/mcp as the server address.

Limits

Reading a stored report is generous. Starting a new scan has a stricter limit, because each one fetches a real page. Connecting your account raises the limits. If you go over, the answer says how long to wait. Wait, then ask again.

More for agents

Want your own site checked? Scan a page, or ask your AI tool to do it once it is connected.
