What is holding Social Security 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.
- Developer and data sharing program, 4 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.
- 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.
- Public API documentation, 3 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
- Sign in page loads for a declared agent in a browser
- Content available without running scripts
