agent-web

URL → LLM-ready markdown. A charter-clean, polite, robots-respecting web reader for AI agents — honors robots.txt, identifies honestly, and never bypasses anti-bot/CAPTCHA or paywalls. No account, no API key — free per-call access.

What it gives an agent

Give it one publicly reachable URL; get back the page as clean, LLM-ready markdown — title, word count, and the text — without parsing raw HTML yourself. Server-rendered (static) HTML pages. Ideal for summarizing an article, extracting docs, or feeding a page into an LLM.

Connect as an MCP server (recommended)

Streamable HTTP, JSON-RPC 2.0:

Code

https://agent-web.foomworks.workers.dev/mcp

Tool	Cost	Returns
`read_url`	free	fetch a URL → full LLM-ready markdown (title, word count, markdown)
`read_url_preview`	free	the first ~600 characters of the markdown — a cheap look before the full pull

Or call it over HTTP

bash

BASE=https://agent-web.foomworks.workers.dev
curl -s "$BASE/read?url=https://example.com/&ref=readme"          # full markdown
curl -s "$BASE/read/preview?url=https://example.com/&ref=readme"  # first ~600 chars

Charter-clean by design (the bright line)

This is a polite reader, not a scraper:

Honors the origin's robots.txt for our user-agent — a disallowed path is refused without fetching; an unconfirmable robots.txt (5xx/error) is treated conservatively as disallowed.
Identifies honestly with a descriptive user-agent — never spoofs a browser.
Read-only GET of the single URL you supply — no crawl, no proxy rotation.
Never bypasses anti-bot/CAPTCHA, paywalls, or login walls.
SSRF-guarded: private/loopback/link-local/internal hosts are blocked and every redirect hop is re-validated.

You are responsible for your right to fetch the URL you submit.

Limits

Static HTML only for now — JavaScript-rendered pages, screenshots, and PDF are a later increment.
Body cap ~2 MB, fetch timeout ~12 s.
The service holds no keys and never initiates payments.
