# CrawlConsole documentation

Install CrawlConsole, measure AI crawler activity, connect agents, and work with backlink and agentic commerce data.

CrawlConsole gives technical and growth teams one place to understand how search engines and AI agents interact with their sites. Use these docs to install telemetry, connect an AI agent through MCP, and turn crawl and backlink data into actions.

## Choose a starting point

- [Get started](/docs/quickstart) if this is your first CrawlConsole property.
- [Install crawler analytics](/docs/installation/crawler-analytics) to begin collecting verified crawler requests.
- [Connect an AI agent](/docs/agents/mcp) to query CrawlConsole through MCP.
- [Set up WebMCP](/docs/webmcp/setup) to expose safe, structured browser tools on your site.
- [Understand backlinks](/docs/backlinks/overview) to work with Domain Score, referring domains, and link evidence.

## Built for people and agents

Every published page is available as HTML and Markdown. Add `.md` to a documentation URL for the Markdown version, or use [llms.txt](/docs/llms.txt) and [llms-full.txt](/docs/llms-full.txt) to discover or ingest the full documentation set.

The docs also expose a searchable MCP tool through the CrawlConsole MCP server. This keeps product answers grounded in the same published pages that people can read here.

## Documentation lifecycle

Documentation can be edited in Git as Markdown or managed in the CrawlConsole admin CMS. A publish action updates navigation, search, Markdown exports, and the [documentation sitemap](/sitemap-docs.xml) from one source.
