Auth types among reachable endpoints

Method

  • Source: the shared crawl of 4 November 2026, 13,071 domains, last request 2026-11-04 20:16 UTC. The crawl reads robots.txt first and skips what it disallows.
  • Two cohorts: the Tranco top 10,000 list (9,999 domains, 7,548 reachable and probed) and the domains on Ora's public leaderboard (3,456 domains, 3,388 probed). A domain can sit in both.
  • A domain is probed for a path when the crawl holds an HTTP status for it. Paths the crawl skipped for robots.txt or request budget are not probed and are not in the denominator.
  • A file counts as found only when the answer is JSON (YAML for openapi.yaml) whose top-level keys match the file type. A web page that answers 200 does not count: on /.well-known/mcp.json that was 11.53% of the probed top-10,000 domains.
  • The categories come from Ora's leaderboard, so only the leaderboard cohort has them.
