Details
From the project READMEWeb2MD 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.

From what the protocol is to installing your first server, these answers cover most first questions.
An open protocol that defines how AI applications connect to external tools and data in a uniform way. Clients talk to the model; MCP servers provide tools, resources and prompt templates. They exchange standard messages, so one server can be reused by many clients.
