Hi — the .md mirrors that https://docs.speakeasy.com/llms.txt points at are 404ing for a good chunk of the index, while the corresponding HTML pages are all fine.
I was sampling published llms.txt files across ~25 doc sites for an unrelated reason. Speakeasy came out as an outlier, so I went and checked it properly instead of trusting the first number.
Random sample, 15 of the 20 indexed URLs, seeded so it's reproducible — 7 return 404:
404 /md/docs/standalone-mcp/overview.md
404 /md/docs/standalone-mcp/build-server.md
404 /md/docs/standalone-mcp/setting-up-oauth.md
404 /md/docs/standalone-mcp/custom-resources.md
404 /md/docs/standalone-mcp/remote-mcp-servers.md
404 /md/docs/standalone-mcp/cloudflare-deployment.md
404 /md/docs/speakeasy-reference/generation/terraform-config.md
The part I think actually matters: the content isn't missing, only the machine copy is. Strip /md/ and the .md and every one of them is a 200:
/md/docs/standalone-mcp/overview.md 404
/docs/standalone-mcp/overview 200
/md/docs/standalone-mcp/build-server.md 404
/docs/standalone-mcp/build-server 200
/md/docs/speakeasy-reference/generation/terraform-config.md 404
/docs/speakeasy-reference/generation/terraform-config 200
So the site is healthy and the mirror that llms.txt exists to serve is not. Which means the audience that hits this is the only one that can't tell you about it — a person browsing never touches /md/, and an agent following your index just gets a 404 and moves on. I'd guess that's why it's been sitting there.
Checked before filing, because either would have made this mine rather than yours:
- Not my user agent. Every non-200 refetched with a normal Chrome UA — zero recovered.
- Not an unfollowed redirect.
redirect: 'follow' throughout, and the HTML equivalents resolve 200 under the identical client.
Repro:
curl -s https://docs.speakeasy.com/llms.txt \
| grep -oE 'https://[^)]+' \
| while read u; do printf '%s %s\n' "$(curl -s -o /dev/null -w '%{http_code}' -L "$u")" "$u"; done \
| grep -v '^200'No ask attached — it just seemed like the kind of thing that stays broken precisely because nobody who can see it is looking.
