Averra Extract MCP Server
MCP (Model Context Protocol) server for Averra Extract — lets AI agents like Claude, Cursor, and ChatGPT convert any webpage into clean, LLM-ready Markdown.
Listed in the official MCP registry as dev.averra/extract. MCP clients that support registry-based install can reference that identifier directly; for clients that need manual configuration, see the install sections below.

Exposes the Averra Extract API as 5 MCP tools:
| Tool | Description |

averra_check_usage |

averra_list_api_keys |
