<p>AI agents are becoming the new browsers and web surfers. As AI agents become increasingly autonomous they’ll begin to make up the vast majority of website traffic, browsing and even purchasing products online.<br />
Already today, popular AI services such as ChatGPT, Claude, and Perplexity increasingly search and interact with content on the web. AI Ready is a suite of tools for optimizing your website for AI discoverability and comprehension, ultimately leading to increased traffic and conversions.</p>

AI-Ready Core

Transform your WordPress site for the Agentic Web. Enhance discoverability and conversions by AI Agents.

Mescio

<p><strong>Mescio for Agents</strong> makes your WordPress site AI-ready by silently serving posts, pages and WooCommerce products as clean, structured Markdown to any AI agent or LLM pipeline that requests it — using the standard HTTP <code>Accept: text/markdown</code> content negotiation header.</p>
<p>Human visitors using a browser are <strong>completely unaffected</strong>. Mescio for Agents only activates when an AI agent or crawler explicitly asks for Markdown.</p>
<h4>Why Markdown?</h4>
<p>Feeding raw HTML to an AI is expensive and noisy. A heading like <code>## About Us</code> costs ~3 tokens in Markdown vs 12–15 tokens as HTML — before accounting for <code><div></code> wrappers, navigation bars and script tags that carry zero semantic value. This blog post you are reading takes 16,180 tokens in HTML and 3,150 tokens in Markdown. That is an 80% reduction.</p>
<p>Markdown has become the <em>lingua franca</em> for AI systems. Mescio for Agents lets your site speak it natively, at zero cost to your human visitors.</p>
<h4>How it works</h4>
<p>When an HTTP client sends a request with <code>Accept: text/markdown</code>, Mescio for Agents intercepts the WordPress request lifecycle before any template is rendered, converts the post content to clean Markdown, and returns it with the correct <code>Content-Type: text/markdown</code> header.</p>
<pre><code>curl https://yoursite.com/your-post/ \
  -H "Accept: text/markdown"
</code></pre>
<h4>Features</h4>
<ul>
<li><strong>Zero configuration</strong> — works out of the box on any singular post, page or custom post type</li>
<li><strong><code>/llms.txt</code> endpoint</strong> — auto-generated index of all your content in the <a href="https://llmstxt.org" rel="nofollow ugc">llmstxt.org</a> standard format, so AI agents can discover what’s on your site</li>
<li><strong><code>/llms-full.txt</code> endpoint</strong> — full site content in a single Markdown file, ready for RAG pipelines</li>
<li><strong>WooCommerce support</strong> — product pages include price, SKU, stock status, rating, attributes and gallery; products are grouped by category in <code>llms.txt</code></li>
<li><strong>YAML front matter</strong> — every document includes structured metadata (title, description, URL, date, categories, tags, featured image)</li>
<li><strong>Multilingual</strong> — detects language via WPML, Polylang, TranslatePress or WordPress locale; emits <code>Content-Language</code> and <code>Link: rel=alternate</code> headers</li>
<li><strong>REST API endpoint</strong> — <code>/wp-json/mescio-for-agents/v1/markdown?id=<post_id></code> or <code>?url=<permalink></code></li>
<li><strong>Page builder cleanup</strong> — aggressively strips Elementor, Divi, WPBakery and Beaver Builder layout noise</li>
<li><strong>Token count header</strong> — <code>X-Markdown-Tokens</code> tells AI pipelines how large the document is before processing</li>
<li><strong>Content Signals</strong> — emits <code>Content-Signal: ai-train=yes, search=yes, ai-input=yes</code></li>
<li><strong>Correct HTTP caching</strong> — <code>Vary: Accept</code> ensures CDNs cache HTML and Markdown versions separately</li>
</ul>
<h4>Response headers</h4>

<li><code>Content-Type: text/markdown; charset=utf-8</code></li>
<li><code>Content-Language: it</code> (or detected language)</li>
<li><code>Vary: Accept</code></li>
<li><code>X-Markdown-Tokens: 725</code></li>
<li><code>Content-Signal: ai-train=yes, search=yes, ai-input=yes</code></li>
<li><code>Link: <url>; rel="alternate"; hreflang="en"</code> (when translations available)</li>
</ul>
<h4>Multilingual plugin support</h4>
<ul>
<li><strong>WPML</strong> — reads language and available translations automatically</li>
<li><strong>Polylang</strong> — reads language and links to translated post IDs</li>
<li><strong>TranslatePress</strong> — reads <code>trp_language</code> post meta</li>
<li><strong>Manual</strong> — configure primary language and additional languages in Settings <span aria-hidden="true" class="wp-exclude-emoji">→</span> Mescio for Agents</li>
</ul>
<h4>REST API</h4>
<pre><code>GET /wp-json/mescio-for-agents/v1/markdown?id=42

<h4>Developer hooks</h4>
