@page2ai/mcp — Web to Markdown for LLM Context

Turn any web page into clean Markdown for Claude, ChatGPT, or your own LLM.

Companion to the Page2AI Chrome extension. Shares the same @page2ai/core extraction library. Zero external API calls — runs entirely on your machine using linkedom.

Install

Claude Desktop

Add to ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json (macOS) or %APPDATA%/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json (Windows):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "page2ai": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@page2ai/mcp"]
    }
  }
}

Restart Claude Desktop.

Cursor

Add to ~/.cursor/mcp.json (global) or .cursor/mcp.json (project):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "page2ai": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@page2ai/mcp"]
    }
  }
}

Windsurf

Add to ~/.windsurf/mcp.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "page2ai": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@page2ai/mcp"]
    }
  }
}

Zed

Add to settings.json:

{
  "context_servers": {
    "page2ai": {
      "command": {
        "path": "npx",
        "args": ["-y", "@page2ai/mcp"]
      }
    }
  }
}

VS Code (with Continue or GitHub Copilot Chat)

Refer to your MCP-compatible extension's documentation. The command is npx -y @page2ai/mcp.

Tools

| Tool | Description | Read-only | Example | |------|-------------|-----------|---------| | page_to_markdown | Fetch a web page URL and convert to clean Markdown | ✅ | page_to_markdown(url="https://docs.anthropic.com/en/api/messages") |

Example prompts

1. Fetch documentation and answer questions:

"Use page_to_markdown to fetch https://docs.anthropic.com/en/docs/build-with-claude/extended-thinking and summarize the three main use cases for extended thinking."

2. Extract API reference into a code snippet:

"Fetch https://ai.google.dev/gemini-api/docs/thinking with page_to_markdown, then generate a Python code sample using the thinking budget parameter."

3. Compare two documentation pages:

"Fetch both https://docs.anthropic.com/en/docs/prompt-engineering and https://platform.openai.com/docs/guides/prompt-engineering with page_to_markdown, then summarize the differences in approach."

Configuration

None required in v0.1. All extraction options use sensible defaults.

Future versions will support options via tool arguments:

• include_images (boolean, default false)
• include_frontmatter (boolean, default true)
• profile (string, one of auto | docs | marketing | research | dashboard | wordpress-marketing, default auto)

Privacy

@page2ai/mcp collects no data, sends no telemetry, and makes no external network calls beyond the URLs you explicitly provide. See PRIVACY.md for details.

Protocol revisions

Since 0.2.0 this server answers both MCP protocol revisions on the same stdio connection:

| Revision | How a client opens the connection | Served | |---|---|---| | 2026-07-28 | server/discover, carrying io.modelcontextprotocol/protocolVersion in _meta | yes | | 2025-11-25 and earlier | the initialize handshake | yes |

serveStdio picks the era from the opening message and pins one server instance for the life of the connection, so clients on older SDKs are unaffected. Note that a message carrying no version claim is treated by the specification as a 2025-era opening; server/discover without that _meta field is therefore answered with -32601 rather than being upgraded.

Verify against a build with the raw JSON-RPC frames, without a client library:

printf '%s\n' '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"server/discover","params":{"_meta":{"io.modelcontextprotocol/protocolVersion":"2026-07-28"}}}' | node dist/index.js

Known advisories

None. Moving to the v2 SDK removed 90 transitive packages (117 production dependencies down to 26) and with them the @hono/node-server advisory that 0.1.x carried through the monolithic @modelcontextprotocol/sdk; that package pulled the HTTP and OAuth server stack even for a stdio-only server. npm audit is clean as of 0.2.0.

Development

git clone https://github.com/igorsaevets/page2ai-mcp
cd page2ai-mcp
npm install
npm run build
node dist/index.js  # runs stdio MCP server

Test with MCP Inspector:

npx @modelcontextprotocol/inspector node dist/index.js

Support

Pick the channel by what you have, not by what is quickest to type:

| You have | Use | |---|---| | A bug, a page that extracts badly, a feature idea | GitHub issues — public and searchable, so the fix helps the next person too | | A security vulnerability | Private vulnerability reporting, see SECURITY.md. Do not open a public issue | | A usage question | Docs first, then an issue |

Build provenance

An MCP server runs with the privileges of whatever launched it, so where the tarball came from is a security question, not a formality. Releases from v0.1.2 onward are published from GitHub Actions with npm provenance: each version carries a Sigstore attestation naming the commit and workflow run that produced it, recorded in the public Rekor transparency ledger and shown as a badge on npmjs.com.

Check it before you trust it:

npm view @page2ai/mcp --json | jq '.dist.attestations'
