Quickly reads webpages and converts to markdown for fast, token efficient web scraping
# Add to your Claude Code skills
git clone https://github.com/just-every/mcp-read-website-fastFast, token-efficient web content extraction for AI agents - converts websites to clean Markdown.
<a href="https://glama.ai/mcp/servers/@just-every/mcp-read-website-fast"> <img width="380" height="200" src="https://glama.ai/mcp/servers/@just-every/mcp-read-website-fast/badge" alt="read-website-fast MCP server" /> </a>Existing MCP web crawlers are slow and consume large quantities of tokens. This pauses the development process and provides incomplete results as LLMs need to parse whole web pages.
This MCP package fetches web pages locally, strips noise, and converts content to clean Markdown while preserving links. Designed for Claude Code, IDEs and LLM pipelines with minimal token footprint. Crawl sites locally with minimal dependencies.
Note: This package now uses @just-every/crawl for its core crawling and markdown conversion functionality.

Choose “As JSON” and paste:
{"command":"npx","args":["-y","@just-every/mcp-read-website-fast"]}
Or, in the chat window, type /add and fill in the same JSON—both paths land the server in a single step.
