AISeeWhy: GitHub Action and MCP server

AISeeWhy (https://aiseewhy.com) checks whether AI crawlers and AI search (ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity) can read and cite a web page.

GitHub Action

Fails a build when AI crawlers are blocked or the AI-readability score drops. It calls the AISeeWhy API, writes the report into the job summary and sets score and p1 outputs.

- uses: aiseewhy/check-action@v1
  with:
    url: ${{ steps.deploy.outputs.preview-url }}
    api-key: ${{ secrets.AISEEWHY_API_KEY }}  # optional: full report with fixes
    fail-on: P1        # P1, P2, P3 or none
    min-score: 70

Without a key the free tier gives the score and the counts (rate-limited per runner IP). Create a key at https://aiseewhy.com/account/.
