Extract
URL-to-Markdown API for AI pipelines — clean markdown with metadata and caching.
Runs on your machine from its package; the steps are below.
What it does
- Reads
- Writes
- High impact
At most: creates or changes data: records, files, settings.
What it costs
FreeOdel charges nothing per call. The publisher may charge for its own service.
Runs locally over stdio
This server isn't hosted — your MCP client launches it from a package registry. Use one of the commands below, or drop the config into your client (e.g. Claude Desktop).
Run
npx -y @averra/extract-mcp
MCP client config
{
"mcpServers": {
"extract": {
"command": "npx",
"args": [
"-y",
"@averra/extract-mcp"
]
}
}
}Averra Extract MCP Server
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.
What it does
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 |
Get an API key
Sign up at averra.dev — the free plan includes 50 requests/month.
