Web2MD MCP Server
Convert any URL to clean Markdown — directly from your AI agent.
An MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that converts public webpages to clean, readable Markdown. Strips ads, navigation, and boilerplate — returns LLM-ready text perfect for RAG, research, and content extraction.
Works with Claude Desktop, Cursor, Continue.dev, Windsurf, and any MCP-compatible client.
Quick Start — Remote (no install, 30 seconds)
The fastest way to try it: add the hosted remote server to any MCP client. No code, no install.
Claude Desktop — add to claude_desktop_config.json:
{
"mcpServers": {
"web2md": {
"type": "http",
"url": "https://domains-directed-lesson-bear.trycloudflare.com/mcp"
}
}
}
Cursor — Settings → MCP → Add new MCP server → type http, URL above.
Claude Code — claude mcp add web2md --transport http https://domains-directed-lesson-bear.trycloudflare.com/mcp
The remote URL is also published on the official MCP registry as
io.github.astra-intelligence/web2md, so it stays discoverable even if this tunnel rotates.
Quick Start — Local (from source)
git clone https://github.com/astra-intelligence/web2md-mcp.git
cd web2md-mcp
pip install .
# or: uv sync
Then add to your client config:
{
"mcpServers": {
"web2md": {
"command": "uvx",
"args": ["web2md-mcp"]
}
}
}
⏳ PyPI publication pending. Until then, use the source install above.
