URL-to-Markdown API for AI pipelines — clean markdown with metadata and caching.
Overview
A local MCP server that turns webpages into clean Markdown via the Averra Extract API and manages the account's API keys and quota.
- What you can do
- Convert any URL into clean, LLM-ready Markdown with metadata, for reading or summarizing pages in a session. Check the account's monthly quota and remaining requests. Create, list and revoke API keys on the Averra account.
- When to use it
- Useful when an assistant needs to read webpages as tidy Markdown rather than raw HTML, for example to summarize an article or pull key concepts from documentation, and when you want quota and key management inside the chat.
- Requirements
- Runs as a local stdio process, typically launched with npx, so Node.js is needed. Requires an Averra account and an API key supplied in the AVERRA_EXTRACT_API_KEY environment variable; the free plan includes 50 requests per month. Network access to the Averra API is required, and the base URL can be overridden with AVERRA_EXTRACT_BASE_URL.
Installation
In SourceWeft
- Open Extract in the dashboard and add it to a workspace.
- Enable the server for the chats that should use its tools.
Desktop only via STDIO. STDIO servers start a local process, so they need the SourceWeft desktop host.
Other MCP clients
Follow the launch instructions in the repository.

Keep the endpoint answering the MCP handshake; SourceWeft probes it every 30 days.
- Auth declared10 pts
Declare the credential headers in the registry entry, or keep the endpoint answering the probe so its auth can be classified.
