Monitor of all-sky X-ray Image (MAXI) was designed to be capable of monitoring variability of a medium-sized sample of active galactic nuclei. We examine current reliability of the MAXI light curves. As of October 2010, the light curves of more than forty sky regions of AGN are available at the MAXI web page, http://maxi.riken.jp/. Except for obvious flux changes of bright AGN (for example, those of Mrk 421, the MAXI result of which is presented by Isobe et al. ), individual features of variability in the MAXI light curves of AGN (such as Seyfert galaxies) need careful evaluations. We review effects of data screening and flux evaluation methods on the MAXI light curves.
