# Netlify

Netlify builds and hosts static sites and web apps from Git, with redirects, headers and functions. The Netlify MCP Server works on Netlify projects for code agents, which meets AR-ACT-03, and its own docs serve markdown at .md URLs. Initial HTML depends on the framework deployed, and no host-level markdown conversion for customer sites was found.

## Checks on its own site

| Reading | Result | Date | Source |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Cloudflare scan of netlify.com | 67 of 100, band L5 Agent-Native | 2026-11-05 | isitagentready.com |
| Crawl row for netlify.com | 7 of 10 checks pass; Tranco rank 3,927 | 2026-11-04 | agentreadychecklist.com/data/ |
| Home pages counted in the crawl | 57 of 7,545; Counted from the shared crawl of 2026-11-04 by x-nf-request-id response header or a Netlify server header; the generator rule only sees tags whose name attribute comes first, so it undercounts | 2026-11-04 | agentreadychecklist.com/data/ |

| Check | Result | Verify Kit check |
| --- | --- | --- |
| robots.txt allows all 17 agent tokens at / | pass | robots-verdicts |
| robots.txt blocks no search or user-fetch token | pass | robots-verdicts |
| Home page has an h1 and 50 words in the initial HTML | pass | initial-html |
| A missing path returns 404 or 410 | pass | status-codes |
| /llms.txt exists | pass | llms-linked |

| Home page carries JSON-LD that parses | pass | json-ld |
| OpenAPI linked from the home page or served at /openapi.json | fail | openapi |
| /.well-known/mcp.json serves JSON | fail | mcp-or-cli |

## What it does not do

-   Netlify does not convert customer pages to markdown in the docs read; the .md copies apply to its own docs.
-   Netlify does not render pages itself; the deployed framework decides the HTML.
