AI crawlers on Adobe Commerce (Magento): allow or block GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot and 78 more

Adobe Commerce and Magento Open Source generate robots.txt from the Search Engine Robots section of the design configuration. The steps on Adobe Commerce (Magento), what trips people up there, and a page for each of 81 AI crawlers.

This response

You are ClaudeBot (Anthropic). Citable recognised you as an AI agent, so this is https://getcitable.in/crawlers/on/magento with the UI removed — the content only. A browser asking for the same address gets the full designed page.

Where Adobe Commerce (Magento) keeps the rule

Adobe Commerce and Magento Open Source generate robots.txt from the Search Engine Robots section of the design configuration.

The steps below are shown for GPTBot. Each crawler has its own page, with its own names in the rule.

Step by step

What to paste

A group that names a crawler replaces the * group for that crawler; it does not add to it. Paths the * group closes are open to a crawler with its own group unless they are repeated there.

Refuse GPTBot:

User-agent: GPTBot
Disallow: /

Allow GPTBot:

User-agent: GPTBot
Allow: /

What trips people up

On Adobe Commerce cloud projects, robots.txt keeps showing the default content until indexing by search engines is enabled for the environment. A saved rule that never appears is usually this.

Asked, or actually refused?

The Admin offers robots.txt only. A refusal that is enforced is made by the web server in front of the store; see GPTBot on Nginx or on Apache.

Check it yourself

A 200 means the name is let through; a 403 means something in front of the page refuses it. This tests the name from your own address. A platform that checks a crawler’s address as well may treat the real GPTBot differently.

The request:

curl -I -A "GPTBot" https://your-site.example/

About Citable

Citable strips the UI from a website for AI agents and serves them only the content.

When an AI agent — ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity or any of the 81 that Citable recognises — opens a page, Citable removes the theme, scripts, navigation and layout and serves only the content: the same facts, at the same URL, on the site's own domain. People and Google still get the full designed page.
