# Carrd: L0 · Read-only

As of 6 Oct 2026, an AI agent can't use Carrd on its own: reCAPTCHA picture challenge on email verification.

Source: https://agentdrives.com/tools/carrd?via=md · driven 6 Oct 2026 by AgentDrives's agent · 1 drive so far · Rules of 15 Oct 2026 (https://agentdrives.com/method/rules?via=md) · license CC BY 4.0

L0 · Read-only: Carrd has no API, CLI or MCP, only the web builder. Sign-up worked inline from the Publish panel, after the browser-only /signup page showed a Cloudflare challenge, and our agent built a site. It stopped at verify: the Verify Account button raised a reCAPTCHA picture challenge, so the site never went live and the no-card trial stayed locked. Plan pages redirected until verification cleared, so pay and cancel were never reached. Delete was requested in the browser, with deletion set for a later date.

L0 · Read-only: No API, CLI or MCP server. Agents can read about it, but there is nothing for them to use.

- Find: No docs for agents
- Access: Can't verify its account
- Use: Work not reached
- Pay: Payment not reached
- Leave: Leaving not reached
- No API, CLI or MCP to drive it with

## Part scores

- Agent-ready setup: llms.txt not found, OpenAPI not found, MCP server not found, CLI not found
- Not measured in this drive: Holds up, Docs match
- Security: reported privately to the owner

## Who gets in

- Agents on a server: Stopped by a CAPTCHA on the sign-up form.
- Signed agents: The sign-up page opens. The CAPTCHA on the form stops them too.
- Agents in a person's browser: Not measured yet.

Sign-up page checked 12 Oct 2026. Signed agents: the ones Cloudflare verifies.

## Checkpoints

- **Docs**: Headless: carrd.com/docs: UI how-tos only; no API, OpenAPI or llms.txt
- **Sign up**: In a browser: /signup is behind a Cloudflare managed challenge. Inline sign-up in the builder's Publish panel worked with no challenge.
- **Verify**: Needs a human: Verify Account button raises a reCAPTCHA picture challenge. Without it no live publishing, no trial, no upgrade.
- **Key**: In a browser: No API keys or OAuth; the only credential is a browser session. Headless POST /login answers 'Access denied' without a reCAPTCHA token.
- **First call**: In a browser: Dashboard and site pages read in the browser session; no API exists
- **First action**: In a browser: Site created and saved (agentdrives-test-079.carrd.co) but never online: account unverified, URL 404
- **Pay**: Not reached: /pro: plans from $9/year, paid by PayPal or card; a 7-day no-card Pro trial exists, but plan pages redirect until the email is verified, which needs a reCAPTCHA picture challenge (a human). No 402/x402/MPP/UCP.
- **Cancel**: Not reached: No plan started. Plans are paid per year and auto-renew is opt-in (docs/pro/auto-renewing), so nothing recurs by default.
- **Delete**: Not reached: Delete Account request submitted (password + checkbox); confirmation mail says deletion happens 19 Oct 2026 and any login before that date cancels the request. No evidence the account was actually deleted or that login/credentials were rejected afterward, so the account was not shown deleted. Site itself was moved to trash (purges in 7 days), also not yet actually removed.

## Does Carrd have an MCP server, and can an agent connect to it?

No. The drive found no MCP server for Carrd.

A new agent can't get in on its own: in the drive of 6 Oct 2026, our agent stopped at verify (it needs a person).

## How does an AI agent get a Carrd API key?

Carrd has no API, so there is no API key to get. No API keys or OAuth; the only credential is a browser session. Headless POST /login answers 'Access denied' without a reCAPTCHA token.

## Paying the agent way

Payment not reached.

Ways to pay it offers an agent: Card checkout; PayPal (card checkout).
No card needed to start.

What would let agents pay on their own:
- Accept x402 or MPP on your API: Answer an unpaid call with 402 and a payment challenge, so an agent pays per call or buys credits without an account or a card.
- List your plans on Stripe Projects: Agents buy a plan with `stripe projects add`, paid with a token under a spend cap the owner sets (projects.dev).
From the drive of 6 Oct 2026.

## What an agent can do, in the web editor

Carrd has no API, CLI or MCP server, so it's L0. Our agent did these in the web editor, as a person would.

- Build a one-page site in the browser builder without an account
- Sign up inline from the builder's Publish panel (browser)
- Add text with Markdown and a columns container, and save the site (browser)
- Preview in mobile view
- Set site title, description and language (browser)
- Move a site to trash and request account deletion (browser)

## What it cannot do

- Publish a site live: Email verification needs a reCAPTCHA picture challenge
- Start the no-card Pro trial or buy a plan: Locked until the account is verified
- Do anything headless: No API, CLI or MCP; login needs a reCAPTCHA token
- Use /signup: Cloudflare managed challenge

## Tips for the owner

1. Let signed agents verify email without reCAPTCHA
2. Align /signup bot rules with inline sign-up
3. Publish a site API with tokens
4. Add llms.txt and markdown docs
5. Explain disabled actions; fix archive docs

## Tips for agent builders

- Skip /signup (Cloudflare challenge): build at carrd.com/build and sign up in the Publish panel
- Text fields in panels are contenteditable facades over hidden textareas: click and type; set hidden selects via JS and dispatch change
- Email verification needs a human for a reCAPTCHA picture challenge
- Do not log in again after an account delete request: it cancels the deletion
