Introducing isAgent: identify and manage agentic traffic on your site

Today, we are launching isAgent, a lightweight front-end component designed to help you detect agentic and programmatic traffic, such as bots and LLMs, visiting your website.

isAgent helps you easily understand and monitor which bots are hitting your site, and enables you to nudge them to a tailored agent experience (e.g., LLMs.txt, MCP servers, device auth).

Getting started is as simple as installing the NPM package with npm install @stytch/is-agent (or yarn, pnpm, etc.), then calling the function in Javascript or using the React component to selectively display content intended for AI agents:

<IsAgent>
  <p>Hello, agent!</p>
</IsAgent>

const { is_agent_client_hint, identity } = isAgent(public_token);
console.log("Is agent: ", is_agent_client_hint)
console.log("Identity: ", identity)

// Do something with the variables in your code

An example response from calling the API would be:

{
  "is_agent_client_hint": true,
  "identity": "ChatGPT Agent"
}

isAgent simplifies bot traffic management, helping you better understand usage trends and redirect agents to proper endpoints. 

Note that isAgent shouldn’t be used as a security measure, since attackers can modify the response in their browsers. You should use isAgent as an easy way to understand your bot traffic and nudge well-behaving AI agents towards machine-friendly interfaces.

To start using isAgent, visit isagent.dev today, and read the full blog post for more information.
