What is holding GitHub back
- MCP server, 8 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.
- OAuth and OpenID metadata, 5 points lost. No OAuth or OpenID metadata was found on the 4 hosts that answered. 10 other hosts did not answer the scanner and could not be checked. Agents cannot discover where to send a customer to approve access. Fix: Publish /.well known/oauth authorization server and /.well known/oauth protected resource for the customer facing APIs.
- PKCE and client registration, 4 points lost. No authorization server metadata, so PKCE and client registration could not be confirmed. Fix: Require PKCE with S256 and support client ID metadata documents or dynamic client registration for approved agent clients.
- Structured data on the home page, 3 points lost. No JSON LD structured data was found on the home page. Fix: Add JSON LD for your organization type, Product or Service, Offer and FAQPage on the pages customers ask about most.
What already works
- Sign in page loads for a declared agent in a browser
- Terms on automated access
- Same behavior for a declared agent and a standard browser
