How site owners treat MyCentral AI
How often site owners write rules for MyCentral AI's tokens, from our own robots.txt study of the Tranco top 10,000:
| Token | Files naming it | Files blocking it |
|---|---|---|
MyCentralAIScraperBot | 52 (0.9%) | Not measured |
A MyCentral AI token can be blocked without being named, through a User-agent: * group with Disallow: /, so its blocking share can be higher than its naming share.
All counts come from 5,583 valid files fetched October 20, 2026.
Writing one policy for MyCentral AI
A robots.txt file cannot say "MyCentral AI"; it can only name MyCentral AI's tokens, one group at a time. With a single token, one group is the whole policy.
# One token controls everything MyCentral AI fetches through it
User-agent: MyCentralAIScraperBot
Disallow: /private/
Allow: /- Decide per job, not per company. Training, search and user-triggered fetching have different trade-offs, even from the same operator.
- Name every token you mean. A token you leave out follows
User-agent: *. - Repeat shared rules. A named group ignores the
*group, so copy anyDisallowlines you still want it to obey. - Verify from outside. Run the free AI crawler check after any change to see the result for each MyCentral AI token, including firewall refusals.
Test yourself: does User-agent: MyCentral AI block all of MyCentral AI's crawlers?
No. robots.txt matches crawler tokens, not company names. Use the token MyCentralAIScraperBot.
Test yourself: if you block one MyCentral AI token, are the others blocked too?
No. Each token is read separately. Blocking one leaves the rest following whatever group applies to them.
Each MyCentral AI crawler, explained
A one-paragraph brief for every MyCentral AI token in our database, covering what it does, how it treats robots.txt and how often large sites write rules for it:
- MyCentralAIScraperBot (
MyCentralAIScraperBot, Tier 2): a training crawler that collects pages to train AI models. Rated safe. MyCentralAIScraperBot's operator does not clearly document how it treats robots.txt. Write the MyCentralAIScraperBot rule anyway, then confirm in your logs that its requests stop. 0.9% of top-site robots.txt files name it.
Common mistakes with MyCentral AI's crawlers
The errors we see most often with MyCentral AI's crawlers in the files and firewalls we test:
- Assuming that blocking MyCentral AI's crawlers removes you from AI answers. It is a training crawler; AI answers are fed by retrieval and user-triggered crawlers with different tokens.
- Blocking MyCentral AI's crawlers with a broad
User-agent: *rule that also catches search engines. NameMyCentralAIScraperBotin its own group instead. - Expecting a MyCentral AI's crawlers block to remove content already collected. robots.txt only affects future visits.
All three hide inside a file that looks correct, so check MyCentral AI's crawlers from outside after every change.
What our own data shows about MyCentral AI
Everything below comes from the AI Crawler Check bot database and our two most recent robots.txt scans of the Tranco top 10,000, not from MyCentral AI's marketing. MyCentral AI has one token in our database, so the whole picture fits in one place.
MyCentralAIScraperBot in our records
We first recorded MyCentralAIScraperBot on March 17, 2026. We could not find a page where MyCentral AI names it, so treat the token as reported rather than documented. MyCentralAIScraperBot is outside our tracked token set, but 52 of 5,583 top-site files already name it, which is enough to show owners treat it as a real crawler.
Among the 104 AI and LLM crawlers in our database, MyCentralAIScraperBot sits 70th by priority (Tier 2), level with AddSearchBot, AI2Bot, AI2Bot-DeepResearchEval, aiHitBot. 81 of the 104 share its safe rating. Other operators with a crawler that collects pages to train AI models: ClaudeBot (Anthropic, Tier 1), Google-Extended (Google, Tier 1), GPTBot (OpenAI, Tier 1), Meta-ExternalAgent (Meta, Tier 1), AI2Bot (Allen Institute for AI, Tier 2). A policy for MyCentralAIScraperBot is usually a policy for these too.
A decision record for MyCentralAIScraperBot
Teams that review crawlers once a quarter keep one short entry per token, so anyone can see why a rule exists and when it was last checked. Filled in from our data, the MyCentralAIScraperBot entry reads:
- Operator and job: MyCentral AI; it collects pages to train AI models.
- Priority and behaviour: Tier 2, rated safe, blocking impact low.
- Suggested starting point: Your licensing call: Disallow to refuse training, Allow to permit it.
- Enforcement: MyCentralAIScraperBot's operator does not clearly document how it treats robots.txt. Write the MyCentralAIScraperBot rule anyway, then confirm in your logs that its requests stop.
User-agent: MyCentralAIScraperBot
Allow: /Paste the line into the validator with one of your own URLs before it goes live. Revisit the MyCentralAIScraperBot entry whenever MyCentral AI announces a change, because a Tier 2 crawler affects visibility directly.
Checking MyCentralAIScraperBot on your own site
Because MyCentral AI runs only MyCentralAIScraperBot in our records, one check covers the whole operator. Search your access logs for the string MyCentralAIScraperBot over the last 30 days, note how many requests it made and which paths it asked for, then compare that with what your robots.txt allows. MyCentral AI publishes no page about the crawler that we could find, so judge it by the requests you actually see rather than by its name. A Tier 2 crawler rated safe is worth confirming every month, and our log checker does the counting for you.
How top sites treat MyCentral AI's crawlers
From our robots.txt study of the Tranco top 10,000 (5,583 valid files, fetched October 20, 2026):
None of the tokens for MyCentral AI's crawlers is tracked by name in our study. For scale, 20.1% of top-site files block at least one AI training crawler and 4.3% refuse every unnamed crawler with User-agent: * and Disallow: /, which would catch MyCentral AI's crawlers too.
More questions about MyCentral AI

- Crawlers cache robots.txt, commonly for up to a day. Expect a change to apply within about 24 hours, and confirm it in your logs.
- Can I allow MyCentral AI on some sections and block it on others?
- Yes. Inside the group for
MyCentralAIScraperBot, addDisallowlines for the paths to keep private andAllowlines for exceptions. The longest matching rule wins. - Does blocking MyCentral AI delete content it already collected?
- No. robots.txt only controls future visits. For content already collected, check whether MyCentral AI offers a removal or opt-out process.
- Is a firewall block better than robots.txt for MyCentral AI?
