Accept: text/markdown

Serve Markdown to agents with content negotiation

Accept: text/markdown

Your site already has the content. Serving a Markdown variant lets agent clients skip nav/scripts/layout markup and read the content directly.

Quick start Test a URL

  • 01 — Tokens

    A fraction of the bytes.

    Markdown drops nav, styles, scripts, and layout wrappers. Agents spend context on your prose, not your DOM.

  • 02 — Retrieval

    Higher signal-to-noise.

    No ads, related-content rails, or modal overlays muddying the text a RAG pipeline has to embed.

  • 03 — Latency

    Faster first token.

    Less to fetch, less to parse, less to stuff into the context window before the model starts thinking.
