README

url-to-markdown-mcp

npm: @kitedesk-erm/url-to-markdown-mcp · Official MCP Registry: io.github.kitedesk-erm/url-to-markdown-mcp

An MCP server that turns any URL into clean Markdown or plain text for your AI assistant. It gives Claude, Cursor, Windsurf, Cline, VS Code Copilot and any other MCP client one tool, extract_url. The tool fetches a page and returns only the main content (no nav, ads, cookie banners, sidebars, footers or comments), plus the title, author, publish date, word count and reading time.

It's backed by the hosted Article Extractor and URL to Markdown API on Zyla API Hub. You'll need a Zyla API key, and you can get one with a 7-day free trial.

Fast: p50 about 230 ms and p95 about 650 ms for extraction (20 real article URLs, measured 2026-10-22)
LLM-ready Markdown with headings, lists, code blocks and absolute links; max_chars keeps you inside a token budget
Read-only and SSRF-safe: localhost and private IPs are refused
Small: one tool, stdio transport, and two runtime dependencies (@modelcontextprotocol/sdk and zod)

Tool

`extract_url`

Argument	Type	Default	Description
`url`	string, required		Public http(s) URL (the scheme is optional)
`format`	`markdown` \| `text` \| `both`	`markdown`	Output format
`max_chars`	integer	no limit	Truncate the content to N characters
`links`	boolean	`true`	Keep `[text](url)` links
`images`	boolean	`false`	Include `![alt](src)` images

The tool returns a short metadata header followed by the content:

# How to Work Hard
Source: https://paulgraham.com/hwh.html
Words: 3313 (~14 min read) | truncated by max_chars

June 2021

It might not seem there's much to learn about how to work hard. Anyone who's been to school knows what it entails, ...

Errors come back as MCP tool errors (isError: true) with a readable message, so the model can recover. That covers a missing key, a private or localhost URL, a non-HTML target, an unreachable site, a Zyla quota or rate limit, and the API's 502 errors: upstream_blocked (the site returned 401/403/429/451 or a bot-challenge page) and empty_content (about 0 words, for example a page rendered client-side). Zyla only bills successful calls, so blocked or empty pages aren't charged.

Install

You need Node.js 18 or later. Every client runs the same command, npx -y @kitedesk-erm/url-to-markdown-mcp, with your key in ZYLA_API_KEY.

Claude Desktop

Edit claude_desktop_config.json (macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/, Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "url-to-markdown": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@kitedesk-erm/url-to-markdown-mcp"],
      "env": { "ZYLA_API_KEY": "your-zyla-api-key" }
    }
  }
}

Claude Code

claude mcp add url-to-markdown --env ZYLA_API_KEY=your-zyla-api-key -- npx -y @kitedesk-erm/url-to-markdown-mcp

Cursor

Use ~/.cursor/mcp.json for a global setup, or .cursor/mcp.json for a single project:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "url-to-markdown": {
