Compress.new is a hosted MCP server built for one specific, high-value job: turning messy, ad-laden webpages into clean, LLM-ready markdown before that content ever reaches your AI agent's context window. Instead of dumping raw HTML — with its navigation bars, scripts, tracking pixels, and boilerplate — into a prompt, agents call Compress.new to fetch a URL and get back a trimmed, well-structured markdown document that preserves headings, lists, tables, and links while stripping everything that inflates token counts. For teams running research agents, RAG pipelines, or automated content workflows, this translates directly into lower token costs and faster, more reliable downstream reasoning, since the model spends its context budget on substance instead of noise.
Within the BusinessMCP.com model, Compress.new plugs into your unified MCP server alongside your other business tools — CRM, ad platforms, databases, and revenue data — so any AI agent (Claude, GPT, Gemini, or a custom model) can call it through the same /api/mcp endpoint with a single Bearer mcph_* key. There's no separate scraping library to install, no headless browser to maintain, and no per-tool auth to juggle. Connect it once in your BusinessMCP dashboard and it becomes just another callable capability your agents can reach for whenever a task requires reading live web content — whether that's pulling a competitor's pricing page, ingesting a documentation site for a support bot, or feeding a news article into a summarization workflow.
Because the server is model-agnostic and cookieless by design, it fits naturally into GDPR-conscious stacks and doesn't tie you to a single AI vendor. Swap models, run multi-agent setups, or A/B test different LLMs against the same webpage-to-markdown pipeline without touching your integration. This matters for teams that treat token spend as a real line-item cost: converting a webpage to markdown before it hits the model is one of the simplest, most repeatable ways to reduce LLM token costs across research, monitoring, and content-generation agents that otherwise re-fetch and re-process the same bloated pages repeatedly.
Typical adopters include product and market-research teams building agents that scan multiple sources per query, support and knowledge-base bots that need clean reference material from external docs, and finance or operations teams (hence its home in the Finance category) using AI agents to monitor filings, investor pages, or vendor terms without paying markdown-cleanup token overhead on every run. Because BusinessMCP surfaces usage across all connected tools in one business-intelligence dashboard, you can see exactly how often Compress.new is invoked relative to your other MCP tools and correlate that with downstream agent performance and cost.
Compress.new is best paired with fetch- and browser-style MCP tools for retrieval, filesystem or memory tools for persisting the cleaned output, and structured-data tools for anything that needs to go beyond plain reading. Used together inside one hosted MCP server, they let an agent fetch, clean, store, and act on web content in a single coherent workflow rather than stitching together disparate scraping and parsing services.
Just say it in a thread
No configs, no docs. Once connected, these are the kinds of messages your agents act on.
"Retrieve a url and return its main content converted to clean, structured markdown — and give me the highlights."
"Convert a list of urls to markdown in a single call for bulk research or monitoring tasks for me, then post a summary in the thread."
"Remove ads, navigation, scripts, and boilerplate from a given html page before conversion and flag anything that needs my approval."
What teams use it for
- Feed clean markdown of competitor pricing or product pages into a research agent without paying token overhead for ads and navigation clutter
- Convert documentation sites into structured markdown for a support agent's knowledge base
- Pull and compress news or investor-relations pages for finance and market-monitoring agents
- Prepare lightweight markdown snapshots of web pages for RAG retrieval pipelines to shrink embedding and context costs
- Batch-convert a list of URLs into markdown for downstream summarization or content-aggregation workflows

Frequently asked questions
How does Compress.new actually lower token costs?
It strips scripts, ads, navigation, and other non-content HTML before returning the page, so the markdown your agent receives is denser in useful information per token than raw HTML would be.
How do I call Compress.new from my AI agent?
Once connected in your BusinessMCP dashboard, it's exposed as a tool on your unified MCP server, so any agent calling your /api/mcp endpoint with your Bearer mcph_* key can invoke it alongside your other business tools.
Does Compress.new work with any AI model?
Yes, it's model-agnostic and works the same way whether the calling agent is Claude, GPT, Gemini, or another model, since it just returns clean markdown text via the MCP protocol.
