Clean Output: Receive well-formatted Markdown text without HTML noise
Error Handling: Robust error handling for failed requests
Cloudflare Workers: Serverless deployment with global distribution
MCP Compatible: Works with any MCP client like Claude Desktop or Cloudflare AI Playground

🚀 Getting Started

Deploy to Cloudflare Workers

This will deploy your MCP server to a URL like: webforai-mcp-server.<your-account>.workers.dev/sse

Local Development

Clone this repository:
git clone https://github.com/yutakobayashidev/webforai-mcp-server.git cd webforai-mcp-server
Install dependencies:
pnpm install
Start the development server:
pnpm dev
Your server will be available at http://localhost:8787

🔧 Using the Text Extraction Tool

The extractWebPageText tool accepts a URL to a web page and returns the extracted text content in markdown format:

{
  "url": "https://example.com/page"
}

The response will contain the extracted text in Markdown format, with:

Links converted to plain text
Tables converted to plain text
Images hidden
