## What is holding Cnet back

1. **MCP server**, 9.3 points lost. No MCP server, server card or registry entry was found for this organization. Fix: Publish a remote MCP server with OAuth. Start with read only tools such as account status, orders or location search, and publish a server card at /.well known/mcp/server card.
2. **An agent can start becoming a customer**, 5.3 points lost. Become a customer: No link to become a customer on the home page. Fix: Make the call to action a plain link on the home page, keep the form behind it on a page an agent can load, label every field, and keep bot checks off the first step.
3. **Developer and data sharing program**, 4.8 points lost. No developer portal or data sharing program was found on public pages. Fix: Document the program, the standard in use for example FDX in US banking, the supported partners and a sandbox.
4. **Public API documentation**, 3.6 points lost. No public API documentation was found. Fix: Publish an OpenAPI document for customer facing APIs on a developer portal.

## What already works

- OAuth and OpenID metadata
- PKCE and client registration
- Sign in page loads for a declared agent in a browser
