Close the scrape path, open an agent path

Block agents in the browser if you must, but give them an API, an MCP server, or a connector. The same site can be the worst and the best example.

What people report

OpenTable has a Muse connector that works without any blocks (for fair use)

How to do it

  1. Decide what an agent may do: search, book, cancel, pay.
  2. Put those actions in an API or an MCP server with scopes.
  3. Publish it where agents look: the MCP registries, an agent skill, /.well-known/.
  4. Then block the scrape path with a clear message that names the agent path.
