## Setup Module

<module-install name="nuxt-ai-ready">



</module-install>

> <span>

> !IMPORTANT
> 
> </span>
> 
> 
> On [Node.js](https://nodejs.org) the default [SQLite](https://sqlite.org) database requires [`better-sqlite3`](https://github.com/WiseLibs/better-sqlite3), install it alongside the module:
> 
> ```bash
> [pnpm](https://pnpm.io) add better-sqlite3
> ```
> 
> [Bun](https://bun.sh), [Cloudflare](https://cloudflare.com) (D1), and [Vercel](https://vercel.com) (Neon Postgres) deployments don't need it. See [Database Configuration](/docs/ai-ready/guides/runtime-indexing#database-configuration).

> Generate an Agent Skill for this package using [skilld](https://github.com/harlan-zw/skilld):
> 
> ```bash
> npx skilld add nuxt-ai-ready
> ```

## Verifying Installation

Zero-config module. After installation:

- Visit any route with `.md` suffix (e.g., `/about.md`) to see markdown output
- Run `nuxi build` then check `/llms.txt` and `/llms-full.txt`
- `/robots.txt` shows [Content Signals](/docs/ai-ready/guides/content-signals)

## Configuration

### MCP Integration (Optional)

Connect AI agents to your site via [Model Context Protocol](https://modelcontextprotocol.io/):

```bash
npx nuxi module add @nuxtjs/mcp-toolkit
```

```ts [nuxt.config.ts]
export default defineNuxtConfig({
  modules: [
    'nuxt-ai-ready',
    '@nuxtjs/mcp-toolkit',
  ],
})
```

Add to Claude Desktop config (`~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json` on macOS):

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "my-site": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@nuxtjs/mcp-client", "http://localhost:3000/mcp"]
    }
  }
}
```

See the [MCP guide](/docs/ai-ready/guides/mcp) for tools, resources, and production setup.

**SSG**: Full support. All pages indexed during `nuxi generate`.

**Hybrid**: Prerendered pages indexed at build; SSR pages indexed on first visit.

**SSR-only**: Pages index on first visit. MCP search works after you visit them.

**SPA**: Not supported. Workaround: enable `nitro.prerender.routes` for specific pages.
