Astra Intelligence released Web2MD, an open-source MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that converts any public URL into clean Markdown stripped of ads, navigation, and boilerplate for LLM consumption. The server exposes a single tool, web2md_convert, works with Claude Desktop, Cursor, Continue.dev, and Windsurf, requires Python 3.10+, and calls the Web2MD API at 167.233.135.161:9999; it is MIT-licensed and pending PyPI publication, installable from source via git clone. The free tier allows 10 conversions per day per IP with no signup or API key, while unlimited access costs $1 or more via Gumroad.
