MCP setup normally means editing a different JSON file for every client, with a different absolute path in each. One command now detects what you have installed and configures all of them — no login step, no manual paths.
Firecrawl, Jina, and Parallel all fetch from datacenter IPs — which is exactly what Reddit and X block. Route the read through your own browser instead and your agent gets in. Measured across Reddit, Hacker News, and X, with the failures listed too.
Claude Code and Cursor can't fetch Reddit — every server-side crawler gets blocked. Here's how to give your agent a working set of eyes on Reddit, 50 threads at a time, using your own browser session.
Need Claude Code or Cursor to research a list of URLs? Here is the practical workflow, where MCP tools fit, and when Web2MD is faster.
Cursor's bigger context window works best when you feed it clean Markdown research packs, not messy copied web pages.
The best Markdown workflow for AI is not one app. Use a real editor, a reliable web-to-Markdown clipper, and clean files your AI can read.
Pasting Stack Overflow into Cursor loses code language hints and mixes nav into prose. Cleaner workflow: convert to Markdown in the browser, then @-mention.
Obsidian Web Clipper is right for clipping into your vault. Web2MD is the missing companion for the moment between page and ChatGPT/Claude. How I run both.
The best Cursor research workflow is to save web sources as clean local Markdown, then @-mention them as reproducible project context.
Need Claude Code or Cursor to batch-convert webpages? Use Browser MCP for control and Web2MD for clean Markdown extraction.
Need Claude Code or Cursor to batch-convert webpages? Here is when to use Browser MCP, Chrome MCP, and Web2MD together.
Turn Stack Overflow, blog posts, and GitHub docs into clean Markdown research packs that Cursor can @-reference reliably.
Cursor's @-mention works on any text file in your repo. The bottleneck is getting outside research into a format Cursor can @ reference. The workflow.
Cursor needs context to be useful. The best context you have is the Claude conversation where you figured the problem out — but it's stuck behind a chat UI.
Firecrawl Extract is great, but $188/mo is wrong for solo RAG. Flip the architecture: extract inside Chrome with your session. Web2MD does it for $9.
