How I automated machine-readable files (JSON-LD & MCP) for site owners for AI compensation
Like a lot of independent publishers, I ve spent years building content sites, only to watch AI crawlers harvest everything completely unchecked while the legal landscape for data licensing remains a total mess.
I realized that the biggest hurdle for normal site owners isn't just wanting fair compensation; it's the technical friction. Major AI labs and applications look for machine-readable discovery files, RSL policies, and structured registry feeds to know if a site is legitimate. But most independent WordPress publishers don't have the time or coding background to manually manage JSON-LD schemas or Model Context Protocol (MCP) endpoints.

Also, I built a centralized infrastructure layer combined with a lightweight WordPress plugin (ContentDividend) to automate this exact workflow. specific to Wordpress sites
