Clean Markdown

Overview

Clean Markdown is a Model Context Protocol server that converts any URL into clean, LLM-ready Markdown suitable for retrieval-augmented generation. It removes ads, navigation elements, and boilerplate content, leaving only the essential text for language models to process. Any MCP-compatible AI assistant can call Clean Markdown's tools directly, with the model deciding when to use them during conversations or agent runs.

The server runs locally via the npm package clean-markdown-mcp, which communicates over stdio on your machine. Installation is as simple as npx -y clean-markdown-mcp. No authentication or credentials are required — it works immediately after setup. The latest release is v1.1.3, published under the MIT license with source code available at damonwill78-a11y/clean-markdown-mcp on GitHub.

Clean Markdown is categorized under AI & Agents on mcp.site and integrates with all MCP clients including Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf, and Zed. If you maintain this project, claim your listing to earn the Verified badge and keep information up to date.
