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

User Agent Token	Description
`Claude-Web`	Should match instances of Claude-Web

You can block Claude-Web or limit its access by setting user agent token rules in your website's robots.txt.

# robots.txt
# This should block Claude-Web

User-agent: Claude-Web
Disallow: /

Instead of doing this manually, you can generate a robots.txt using the API or WordPress plugin that stays up to date with the agent list automatically. The WordPress plugin can also enforce your robots.txt and block agents who try to ignore the rules.
