Reviewer Notes

Caddy is primarily infrastructure software rather than a service API, limiting agent discoverability through typical means—no MCP server, OpenAPI spec, or llms.txt. However, it offers a well-documented HTTP API for dynamic configuration, which provides decent agent tooling for server control tasks. The lack of account creation workflows (it's self-hosted software) and no dedicated agent authentication pattern significantly reduce scores. Strength: reliable, production-grade software with strong uptime and clear documentation. Weakness: designed for human operators/DevOps, not AI-first service discovery or automated account provisioning.
