Wraps the Averra Extract API so Claude, Cursor, and other MCP clients can convert web pages into clean markdown on the fly. You get five tools: extract a URL, check your monthly quota, and manage API keys (create, list, revoke). Runs over stdio via npx, so setup is just dropping your API key into the config and restarting. Free tier gives you 50 requests a month. Useful when you need an agent to pull live web content into its context without copy-paste, or when you're building workflows that need structured page data instead of raw HTML.
MCP (Model Context Protocol) server for Averra Extract — lets AI agents like Claude, Cursor, and ChatGPT convert any webpage into clean, LLM-ready Markdown.
Listed in the official MCP registry as dev.averra/extract. MCP clients that support registry-based install can reference that identifier directly; for clients that need manual configuration, see the install sections below.
Exposes the Averra Extract API as 5 MCP tools:
| Tool | Description |
|---|---|
averra_extract_url | Convert any URL to clean Markdown with metadata |
averra_check_usage | Check monthly quota and remaining requests |
averra_create_api_key | Create a new API key |
averra_list_api_keys | List all API keys on the account |
averra_revoke_api_key | Revoke an API key by ID |
Sign up at averra.dev — the free plan includes 50 requests/month.
