You publish files for machines to read, but nothing that tells one how to become a customer.

None of the nine known agent entry paths answered, including /agent-signup.md and /.well-known/agent-access.json. Reading is solved on your site; joining is not.

This domain resolves elsewhere

oramasearch.com redirects to https://orama.com/, so everything below was measured on orama.com. That is worth knowing on its own: an agent asking for oramasearch.com ends up reading a different company’s pages, and every sentence here names the host its number came from.

Fix this first

+5points, taking 6/13 to 11/13, past algolia.com, elastic.co, meilisearch.com

This is the whole list: everything we could measure and you do not pass. Another 4 points sit behind checks we could not evaluate on your domain, and each of those lines below says what would make it measurable.

  1. 1
    llms.txt publishedminutes · +1

    Your llms.txt is already there. 1 of the 11 links we sampled are gone, starting with https://github.com/oramasearch/orama-cloud-cli#readme. Fix those and this passes: a map an agent follows into a 404 costs it the budget it came with.

  2. 2
    Agent entry pointan afternoon · +2

    Publish /agent-signup.md: the path from nothing to a working key, written as steps for a machine rather than a tour for a person. Ours is at /agent-signup.md if you want a worked example, and it says plainly that we have nothing to sign up for.

  3. 3
    Programmatic key provisioningan afternoon · +2

    Document how a key is created without opening a dashboard: management API, service account or CLI. If no such path exists, that gap is the finding, not the docs.

Then, when you have room

  • OAuth dynamic client registration a project · +1Publish OAuth authorization server metadata with an RFC 7591 registration_endpoint in it. It is the only standard way an agent registers itself without a human.
  • MCP surface a project · +1Wrap your top three API calls in an MCP server and declare it at /.well-known/mcp.json.

6 of the checks an agent depends on, oramasearch.com does not pass.

None of this tells you whether an agent picked you

Everything above is a file an agent could read. Whether one actually chose you is a different measurement, and we have not run it on oramasearch.com. What we have run it on is a rich text editor vendor: six agents, one brief, six isolated copies of a real codebase. All six picked the same competitor, and the vendor being studied was never named, not even on a rejection list, while the runs named and dismissed ten alternatives between them. In an earlier round, run before we isolated the copies, it was named twice and struck off both times in four words: Fully commercial, licence key required. That study is about them, not about you. It is here because it is the difference between a file and a decision.

Where competitors pass and oramasearch.com does not

  • llms.txt publishedalgolia.com · meilisearch.com · typesense.org · elastic.co
  • OAuth dynamic client registrationalgolia.com · elastic.co
  • Programmatic key provisioningtypesense.org · elastic.co
  • MCP surfacealgolia.com

Only domains we have actually scanned appear here, so the ranking is a floor: a competitor missing from the list has not been measured, not beaten.

Every check

Each line is one HTTP observation with a published rule, so you can rerun any of them yourself. Most are the same tomorrow if you are: the two that are not are the bot gate and the pricing page, which answer inconsistently on their own, which is why those run more than once and say so when the tries disagreed. PASS and PART are counted. UNMEASURED means we could not evaluate it, N/A means it does not apply to a product like yours, and neither is in the score or its denominator. See the formula

A · Discovery

  • PASS
    Answers an agent user-agentAnswered 200 to LetAgentsIn/1.0 (+https://letagentsin.com/methodology)
  • FAIL
    llms.txt publishedllms.txt and llms-full.txt present at https://oramasearch.com/llms.txt and https://oramasearch.com/llms-full.txt, but 1 of the 11 links we sampled across both files are gone, starting with https://github.com/oramasearch/orama-cloud-cli#readmeA curated map of your docs is the cheapest way to control what an agent reads first. Worth one point and not more: in eighteen isolated agent runs across four categories, not one cited llms.txt among its sources, and an independent ninety-day measurement published by Otterly in February 2026 found it served 84 requests against 62,100 AI-bot visits.

B · Agent entry

  • FAIL
    Agent entry pointNone of the 9 known agent entry paths returns a file rather than your page shellA markdown file written for a machine turns a guessing game into a procedure it can follow.
  • FAIL
    OAuth dynamic client registrationNo OAuth metadata on any of the 8 hosts probed, including the usual auth and api subdomainsRFC 7591 is the only standard path by which an agent can register itself without a human.

C · Registration
