## What prerenderbuddy does, in the publisher's words

Audit what public search and AI crawlers can retrieve, and optionally review evidence from a Prerender Buddy workspace.

This package contains:

- one public crawler-visibility Agent Skill;
- one authenticated workspace-review Agent Skill;
- a local Prerender Buddy MCP server configuration;
- native compatibility manifests for Codex and Claude Code.

The MCP server runs through npx --yes @prerenderbuddy/mcp@0.2.0. It requires Node.js 20 or newer. Its three public audit tools need no account, API key, analytics, or telemetry. When PRERENDER_BUDDY_API_KEY is available to the MCP process, it also registers read-only workspace tools backed by the scoped Pro Developer API. Restart the agent host after adding or changing the key.

## Skills

- crawler-visibility-audit: Audit a public site's crawler-visible HTML, compare crawler and browser-style HTTP responses, and inspect robots.txt, sitemap.xml, and llms.txt using Prerender Buddy MCP tools. Use for technical SEO, crawler readability, AI crawler accessibility, and pre-deployment visibility checks.
- workspace-discoverability-review: Review an authenticated Prerender Buddy workspace site's setup, health, crawler activity, AI visibility, recommendations, and content status. Use when the user asks about their PB sites or account evidence; do not use for an unrelated public URL audit.

Descriptions come from the frontmatter of each SKILL.md, punctuation lightly normalized.

## MCP servers
