What it does
Indexes content so it can be retrieved and cited when Claude answers a search-style question.
How Forge AI Bot Log checks it
Visits are checked against the IP ranges Anthropic publishes, so a spoofed Claude-SearchBot is labelled as such.
Should you block it?
Most sites should allow it. Blocking Claude-SearchBot takes one switch in Forge AI Bot Log's Access Control screen. The plugin adds the rule to your robots.txt for you.
