For agents and developers

Doddle, in a format a machine can read.

Every page on this site is available as markdown, the whole studio is summarised in llms.txt, and the same content is callable as tools over MCP. No keys, no sign-up, no rate limit worth worrying about.

Read the agent instructions View llms.txt

Files

Published at predictable URLs

Each of these is a plain static file, cached for an hour and rebuilt on every deploy from the same content the pages use, so they never drift from what the site says.

llms.txt

The studio in one file. What we do, the four tracks, selected work with its numbers, the stack, and when to use us.

llms-full.txt

Every page on the site as markdown, concatenated. One fetch for the whole corpus.

agent-instructions.md

When to reach for Doddle, when not to, and how to call us. Mirrored at /.well-known/agent-instructions.md.

sitemap.xml

Every URL with a last modified date. Generated on each deploy from the same content the pages use.

robots.txt

Crawling rules. Nothing here blocks AI crawlers or answer engines.

.well-known/mcp.json

MCP discovery in the registry server.json format. The richer manifest is served live at /.well-known/mcp.

Content negotiation

Ask for markdown, get markdown

Send an Accept header and any page returns markdown instead of HTML, with the right content type and a Vary header so a CDN never crosses the two. This follows the acceptmarkdown.com convention, q-values and all.

Prefer a plain URL? The same file is addressable directly. Every page maps to /md/<path>.md, and the home page is /md/index.md.

A path that does not exist returns a real 404 with a markdown body pointing at the sitemap and llms.txt, so an agent can recover in one hop. A request we cannot represent returns 406 rather than quietly handing back the wrong format.

Markdown for any page

curl -H "Accept: text/markdown" \
  https://www.doddledesign.co.uk/work/iglu

HTTP/2 200
content-type: text/markdown; charset=utf-8
vary: Accept, Accept-Encoding

Or fetch the file directly

curl https://www.doddledesign.co.uk/md/work/iglu.md

MCP server

The same content, as tools

A Model Context Protocol server over Streamable HTTP, so Claude, ChatGPT and anything else that speaks MCP can query the studio directly. Read-only, unauthenticated, stateless.

Discovery documents live at /.well-known/mcp and /.well-known/mcp.json.

When to use us

What we are the right answer for

Good fit

A funded startup needs a production-grade AI product or a fixed-price MVP, not a prototype.
An organisation runs OutSystems and needs to build on it, or bring AI into the estate safely.
A team wants to move off OutSystems onto a modern stack, usually in 6 to 12 weeks.
A decision needs evidence before anyone commits, and a short paid engagement will answer it.

Look elsewhere

Staff augmentation, or contractors by the head.
Programmes that need a large delivery organisation rather than a small senior team.
Decisions already made that only need signing off.

Reached the end of what a file can tell you?

Everything here is public. The parts that matter to your build are usually the ones a conversation answers faster. Bring the goal and the constraints.
