Fine to try.

By xberg-io/html-to-markdown (GitHub) · other · 888 stars · scanned at commit 78198e4

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.

Works with any agent that supports SKILL.md skills.

Codex reads ~/.agents/skills directly. For Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Antigravity or OpenCode, also link it. For Claude Code: ln -s ~/.agents/skills/'html-to-markdown-using-the-mcp-server' ~/.claude/skills/'html-to-markdown-using-the-mcp-server' (other agents: ~/.cursor/skills, ~/.copilot/skills, ~/.gemini/skills, ~/.gemini/config/skills, ~/.config/opencode/skills). Or install through the finder skill, which does both.
