Should I Block Claude-Web?

It's difficult to say. The purpose or purposes of undocumented AI agents could either be good or bad for your website, depending on what they are.

Using Robots.txt

You can block Claude-Web or limit its access by setting user agent token rules in your website's robots.txt. We recommend setting up agent analytics to check whether it's actually following them.

User Agent Token Description
Claude-Web Should match instances of Claude-Web 
# robots.txt
# This should block Claude-Web

User-agent: Claude-Web
Disallow: /

Instead of doing this manually, you can use the API or Wordpress plugin to keep your robots.txt updated with the latest known AI scrapers, crawlers, and assistants automatically.
