Show HN: AI crawler access control for WordPress (allow, deny, teaser previews)
wordpress.orgI just got this WordPress plugin approved on wp.org.
It lets site owners control automated access from AI crawlers and agents with per-site and per-post rules: allow, deny, teaser previews, and rate limits. It can also return 402 if you want to experiment with paid access.
If a crawler signs requests, the plugin can verify RFC 9421 HTTP Message Signatures. Most crawlers do not sign yet, but I wanted the path to be there.
It also publishes llms.txt, a JSON feed, and per-post Markdown endpoints.

If you run a content site or a crawler team, I would love feedback on signing defaults and replay protection expectations.
