No DNS for AI Discovery (DNS-AID) records

DNS-AID is a very new, still-emerging standard that publishes an AI agent's entry points, such as MCP (Model Context Protocol) and A2A (agent-to-agent) services, as signed records in your domain's DNS (the system that maps domain names to servers), so agents can find your services without guessing URLs. This check found no DNS-AID records for your domain. Since DNS-AID is bleeding-edge and adoption is still minimal, not having it costs you nothing right now for the vast majority of businesses. It only becomes relevant if you expose agent-callable endpoints, in which case being an early adopter is a distinctive, top-1% signal rather than a competitive necessity. Your developer needs about half a day, and only if you expose agent endpoints. Publish SVCB or HTTPS DNS records under _index._agents and _mcp._agents, and sign the DNS zone with DNSSEC (a security extension that lets others verify the records haven't been tampered with).

Why this matters

How to fix it
