No MCP server or AI agent endpoint detected — agents cannot interact with your business
Set up a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server so AI agents can interact with your business directly. This allows agents to book appointments, check availability, and more.

With Dashform, you can add MCP support to your website in minutes — no coding required.

Alternatively, create /.well-known/ai-plugin.json for ChatGPT plugin compatibility.
