basemodo indexing

Let search engines index a Public App (on), keep them out (off), or say which.

Terminal window
basemodo indexing [OPTIONS] [on|off]

No App is indexed unless its Owner says so: every answer says noindex and robots.txt disallows everything. On (or [web] indexable = true in basemodo.toml) lets search engines into a Public App, for a landing page that should be found; it is refused on a Private or Link App. Making the App anything but Public turns indexing off again.

Arguments

  • on|off: on lets search engines index the App (a Public App only), off keeps them out. Without it, only show whether they may.
  • --app <APP>: The App. Default: the one named after the current folder.

Like every command, it also takes the global options --json and --api-url.

Examples

Let search engines find a Public App:

Terminal window
basemodo indexing on

Keep them out again:

Terminal window
basemodo indexing off

Say whether an App is indexable:

Terminal window
basemodo indexing --app lunch-rota

Output

With --json, it prints {"app", "url", "visibility", "indexable"}, after the change. On an App that is not Public, on is an error with code app_not_public.

From an agent

The local MCP serves it as the tool indexing. It changes things, so an agent's client may ask you before it runs. Its arguments are the command's, named as JSON keys: turn (text), app (text). It answers what the command prints with --json.
