Crawl Census MCP server

Crawl Census is a remote MCP server that gives an AI agent 7 tools, among them agent_profile, census_facts, census_stats. It answers at https://crawlcensus.com/mcp over streamable HTTP, and it listed its tools to an anonymous client, so no sign-in was needed for that. Our probes reached it 6 of 6 times since 11 September 2026; the last check, on 24 October 2026, succeeded.

Ask before you fetch: will this domain serve your crawler, refuse it, or charge it?

Description as the publisher wrote it.

The 7 tools Crawl Census offers

ToolWhat it does
agent_profileWhat this census measures and publishes about one AI crawler: how often it is disallowed in robots.txt, how often live requests carrying its user agent are refused at the network edge whatever robots.txt says, whether its operator documents
Inputs: agent
census_factsEvery headline finding from the census as discrete, dated records rather than prose. Each carries its value, unit, denominator, measurement date, the page it comes from and a ready-made citation line, plus the caveats that apply to all of t
census_statsCorpus-level statistics: how many measured domains block each AI crawler, mean access score, llms.txt adoption.
crawl_preflightDecide whether a crawler may fetch a list of domains before spending requests on them. Works for any crawler token, not only the ones this census tracks: an unrecognised agent is resolved from each domain's stored robots.txt rather than ref
Inputs: agent, domains
scan_siteRun a live AI-accessibility audit of a domain: robots.txt policy for every tracked AI crawler, live user-agent probes, JavaScript-free readability, structured data and llms.txt. Returns a score out of 100 with per-check detail.
Inputs: domain
site_reportReturn the most recent stored audit for a domain without triggering a new scan. Faster and free of load on the target site.
Inputs: domain
submit_domainsQueue domains the census has not measured yet so a later crawl_preflight can answer them. This closes the loop crawl_preflight starts: anything it returns as unknown with measurable true is worth submitting, and the reply names any that wer
Inputs: domains
