Why
When you're working with an AI assistant and need to reference a docs page, a blog post, or an API reference, you usually end up copy-pasting content manually. Tools like Firecrawl solve this but require a paid API key. This server does the same thing for free. It fetches a URL, runs it through Mozilla Readability (the same engine behind Firefox Reader View), and returns clean markdown. It works well for server-rendered content like documentation sites, blog posts, and articles. It won't handle JavaScript-heavy SPAs, but for the most common use case of "read this docs page and summarize it," it does the job.
