What is holding Yandex 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 12 hosts that answered. 2 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.
- Robots policy for user triggered agents, 4 points lost. robots.txt blocks all 4 user triggered agents from the whole site. Fix: Allow the ChatGPT User, Claude User and Perplexity User agents in robots.txt for public product, pricing and help pages.
- 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.
What already works
- Home page for a declared agent
- Same behavior for a declared agent and a standard browser
