What this means
Faro's scan of mcmaster.com on 8 October 2026 found structured business data, published pricing, a public API and an MCP server. Through its MCP server, an AI agent can use Mcmaster's tools, not just describe them. Its public API lets other software connect to Mcmaster directly. Ask an assistant what Mcmaster costs and there's a price on the site for it to quote.
Faro couldn't confirm that both ChatGPT's and Claude's crawlers may read mcmaster.com. Where they can't, what they say about Mcmaster comes from other sites. There's no llms.txt, so assistants find Mcmaster's important pages the slow way, by following links.
AI assistants answer questions about a business from what its site publishes. This page is Faro’s record of what they can find on mcmaster.com.
