Research direction

Compare mcp-servers/python/url_to_markdown_server/ in IBM/mcp-context-forge with the target repository layout, then copy the listed files and directories verbatim. Start with its pyproject.toml, README.md, Makefile, and tests/ directory; verify editable installation and run the existing tests. Done means the server is present at the target path, the README reflects its new home, and CI runs its lint and test checks.

Description

Summary

Move the url_to_markdown_server MCP server from the mcp-context-forge monorepo into this repository at mcp-servers/python/url_to_markdown_server/, as part of the MCP server migration tracked in IBM/mcp-context-forge#6228.

What to move

Copy the contents of mcp-servers/python/url_to_markdown_server/ from IBM/mcp-context-forge verbatim:

mcp-servers/python/url_to_markdown_server/
├── .gitignore
├── Containerfile
├── Makefile
├── README.md
├── pyproject.toml
├── src/
│   └── url_to_markdown_server/
│       ├── __init__.py
│       ├── server_fastmcp.py
│       └── ssrf.py
└── tests/

Dependencies (as-is)

From pyproject.toml:

fastmcp>=3.4.4
httpcore>=1.0.5
httpx>=0.28.1
pydantic>=2.13.4
typing-extensions>=4.16.0

The server is moved as-is. Version constraint updates are tracked separately (see sub-issues).

Acceptance criteria

  • Server lands at mcp-servers/python/url_to_markdown_server/ in this repository
  • pyproject.toml is present and installable (pip install -e mcp-servers/python/url_to_markdown_server)
  • Existing tests pass
  • CI covers the server (lint + test)
  • README updated to reflect new home
