PrintFriendly MCP: clean pages and PDFs for your AI app

PrintFriendly's MCP server reads web pages as clean text and creates PDF, Word and Markdown documents. Your AI app gets an article without the clutter, or hands you a file ready to send. ContextGate connects it to Claude, ChatGPT and Cursor with your PrintFriendly API key, and each page read and document created is on record.

Page and document jobs

  • Read a web page as clean text so your AI app works from the article, not the clutter.
  • Save a page as a PDF.
  • Create a Word or Markdown document.

Know which pages your AI apps read

  • Switch off any PrintFriendly tool; it's hidden from your AI apps and refused if called.
  • Policies check each call, so a URL with a token in it can be blocked.
  • Activity records every page read and document created.
