What Manus-User does
The Manus agent, which uses a browser to carry out tasks for its users.
As an autonomous agent, it uses a website like a person would, clicking, typing and filling in forms to finish a task for someone. The kinds of AI agent that visit websites.
Should you allow it?
Make your journeys work for it. Many browser agents look like an ordinary browser, so you can't reliably block them by name; test whether they can finish your key tasks instead. A decision guide for blocking or allowing AI crawlers.
How to allow or block Manus-User
Manus-User reads the Manus-User group in your robots.txt. To block it everywhere:
User-agent: Manus-User
Disallow: /To allow it everywhere, even if another rule blocks other bots:
User-agent: Manus-User
Allow: /Robots.txt is a request, not a lock: well-behaved crawlers follow it, impostors don't. Robots.txt for AI agents.
How to tell if it's really Manus-User
Our registry doesn't verify Manus-User against published IP ranges yet, so treat a request that uses the name as a claim, not proof: anyone can send its user agent. Check Manus's documentation for how to verify it.
Does Manus-User visit your site? Ghost Agent Lab reads your CDN or server logs and shows every request from Manus-User and 1,566+ other known agents: what they read, what your site sent back, and whether each request was genuine.
