The publisher's own server: Web2md

Overview

AI-generated overview

Converts a public webpage URL into clean, readable Markdown with ads and navigation stripped, for use by an AI assistant.

What you can do
  • Convert a public URL into clean Markdown text
  • Strip ads, navigation and boilerplate so the result is ready for LLM consumption
When to use it
Useful when an assistant needs readable page text for research, summarization or RAG ingestion without the clutter of raw HTML.
Requirements
A local Python 3.10+ install from source, or the hosted remote endpoint described in the README. Internet access to reach the Web2MD conversion API. No API key for the free tier.
Before you install
Page content is sent to a third-party conversion API at a raw IP address, so avoid confidential or internal URLs. The free tier is limited to 10 conversions per day per IP; unlimited use requires a paid license key. The remote endpoint is a rotating tunnel, so availability may change.

Installation

In SourceWeft

  1. Open Web2MD MCP Server in the dashboard and add it to a workspace.
  2. 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.

README

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:

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)

bash
git clone https://github.com/astra-intelligence/web2md-mcp.gitcd web2md-mcppip install .# or: uv sync

Then add to your client config:

json
{  "mcpServers": {    "web2md": {      "command": "uvx",      "args": ["web2md-mcp"]    }  }}

⏳ PyPI publication pending. Until then, use the source install above.

About Web2MD

Web2MD is a URL-to-Markdown conversion API running at 167.233.135.161:9999. This MCP server wraps the API so AI agents can use it directly.

Free tier: 10 conversions/day per IP — no signup, no API key.

Direct API Usage

You can also use the API directly without the MCP server:

Free tier: 10/day/IP. Add ?license_key=YOUR_KEY for unlimited access.
