— Agent Toolkit

Works with your AI agent.

Your Web2MD library isn't locked in a dashboard — sync it locally, search it from your editor, or let agents drive your browser.

01

Sync your library locally

One command pulls your whole library into a local Markdown vault — Obsidian and any agent can read it directly.

shell
npm i -g web2md-cli
web2md sync
02

Search it from Claude Code & Cursor

Agents call search_library and get_library_items to pull exactly what they need, when they need it.

config
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "web2md": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "web2md-mcp-server"],
      "env": { "WEB2MD_API_KEY": "..." }
    }
  }

— Agent Bridge

Let your AI read the pages it can't reach on its own.

Reddit and Quora block datacenter IPs outright. X returns a page with no posts in it. Web2MD runs inside your own Chrome — so your agent reads exactly what you see, logged in and fully rendered.

Run this once — it connects Web2MD to every AI agent on your machine (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Claude Desktop).

Measured September 2026 with a real browser User-Agent. Anti-bot rules change — your results may vary.

🔍

Mine a subreddit for real complaints

“Pull the top 50 posts from r/ClaudeAI this week and tell me what people are angry about.”

Your agent reads whole threads — titles, bodies, the arguments in the replies — and hands back the patterns. The work that used to be an afternoon of scrolling.

📊

Watch what competitors ship

“Grab their changelog, pricing page and last 10 blog posts, then diff it against last month.”

Pricing pages and changelogs are exactly the pages that hide behind JS and bot walls. Batch up to 50 URLs in one call and let the agent do the comparison.

📚

Feed private docs to your agent

“Read our internal wiki and the Jira ticket, then write the migration plan.”

Pages behind your company login are invisible to every server-side scraper. They are not invisible to the browser you are already signed into.

💬

Turn support threads into answers

“Read every complaint about this bug and draft the reply.”

Forums, ticket queues and community threads become clean Markdown your agent can actually reason over — instead of 40,000 tokens of navigation chrome.

How it works

All communication is local — nothing leaves your machine. Works with Claude Code, Cursor, and any MCP-compatible agent.

Currently supports Chrome browser, Firefox and Edge versions are in development. Safari version is planned for the future.

Free version includes 3 conversions per day with 5 saved history items. If you need unlimited conversions or advanced features like AI auto-tags, Markdown downloads, and API access, you can upgrade to Pro.

Absolutely. All conversions are done locally in your browser, and we never upload or store any of your web content. Your data stays on your device.

Almost all types of web pages can be converted, including news articles, blogs, technical docs, forum posts, etc. For special formats, you can configure custom extraction rules.

Monthly and yearly Pro renew automatically until you cancel. After you cancel, you keep Pro until the current billing period ends. The 30-day pass, lifetime access, and credit packs are one-time payments and do not renew. There are no hidden fees.

We use algorithms similar to GPT/Claude for estimation, with accuracy above 95%. Due to slight differences in tokenizers between models, we recommend leaving 5-10% margin.
