Use when converting HTML to Markdown or extracting metadata and tables through the html-to-markdown MCP server's tools, rather than shelling out to the CLI. Covers the tool surface, the auto-installing launcher, and when MCP beats the CLI or SDK.

Use when extracting a page needs scripted interaction first — click, type, press a key, scroll, wait, screenshot, or run JS before capturing the DOM. Covers `crawlberg interact <url> --actions` with the real action schema, result shape, limits, and external-CDP options.
Crawl, scrape, and convert websites to Markdown using the local crawlberg CLI and its MCP server. Use when the user wants to fetch a page, follow links across a domain, enumerate URLs, or drive a real browser. Covers installation, the subcommands (scrape, crawl, map, interact, mcp, serve), output formats (JSON + Markdown), browser fallback, and when to prefer the MCP server over shelling out.
Use when the user wants to follow links across a domain and capture every reachable page as Markdown. Covers `crawlberg crawl` with depth, page caps, concurrency, rate limiting, domain scoping, robots, and output selection.
Use when a static fetch returns nothing useful and the page needs a real browser. Covers `--browser-mode auto|always|never`, external CDP via `--browser-endpoint`, symptoms of JS-only pages and WAF blocks, and the performance cost.
Use when the user wants the list of URLs on a site rather than the page content — sitemap analysis, link planning, or seeding another tool. Covers `crawlberg map <url>` with `--limit`, `--search`, robots, output, and how it differs from a full crawl.
Use when the user wants a single page rendered as clean Markdown plus structured metadata. Covers `crawlberg scrape <url>`, JSON vs Markdown output, what metadata is returned, and how to handle JS-heavy pages.

The html-to-markdown MCP server exposes the converter's convert and
extraction capabilities as MCP tools, so an MCP-compatible client (Claude Code,
Claude Desktop) can convert HTML and pull structured metadata/tables directly,
with no CLI invocation or glue code.
The plugin auto-registers the server. Its command is the bundled launcher
scripts/mcp-launch.sh, which execs html-to-markdown mcp. On first run the
launcher resolves an html-to-markdown binary: it reuses one already on PATH
or cached in the plugin's bin/, then tries npx/uvx, then Homebrew, then
downloads a prebuilt from the tool's latest GitHub release. Override the channel
with HTML_TO_MARKDOWN_LAUNCHER=auto|npx|uvx|brew|download.
The mcp subcommand ships in a recent release of the tool. If an older
html-to-markdown is already on PATH, it may not expose mcp yet — upgrade
the binary (brew upgrade, re-download, or rebuild) to pick it up.
To run it manually:
html-to-markdown mcp # for Claude Code / Claude Desktop (stdio)
