Compared with every active server in this category in the registry. Stars count only when the publisher owns the repo.
It passed 1 of 1 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.
The registry does not list a required key, though some servers ask you to sign in on first use.
It runs in the maker’s cloud. Connect over the internet with nothing to install, but what you send passes through the maker’s servers.
The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (3.2.0) reached the registry 34 days ago.
Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. It connects by URL, so apps that accept remote MCP servers work too, such as ChatGPT in developer mode.

The dev server runs at http://localhost:5173. /api/* is served by the same handler as the Worker (src/shared/api.ts), and every landing page is rendered on the fly — no wrangler needed.
| Script | Description |
|---|---|
npm run dev | Vite dev server with the API |
npm run build | Production build → dist/ (all landing pages, 404, sitemap) |
npm run preview:worker | Build and run the real Worker locally with wrangler dev (SSR status pages, 404s, _headers) |
npm run lint | Type-check the app and the Worker |
Cloudflare Workers + Static Assets, deployed automatically on push to main (build: npm run build, deploy: npx wrangler deploy). No environment variables.

Heavy export libraries are dynamically imported, so the initial page only loads React + the app.
| Layer | Implementation |
|---|---|
| Intent pages | /x-article-to-pdf, /x-article-to-markdown, /x-thread-to-pdf, /x-article-to-epub, /save-x-articles-to-obsidian, /thread-reader-app-alternative — each with unique, visible HTML content and FAQ |
| Languages | Every page in 7 languages (/, /es/…, /pt/…, /ja/…, /zh/…, /ar/…, /tr/…) + UI in 7 languages; first-visit language banner, remembered choice redirects (never for crawlers) |
| Crawlable content | Content is static HTML outside the React root — no JS needed to index it |
| Structured data | WebApplication, FAQPage (matches visible FAQ), BreadcrumbList |
| i18n | Reciprocal hreflang for every translation group + x-default |
| Share pages | /{user}/status/{id} get post-specific OG/Twitter tags; noindex, follow |
| Sitemap / 404 | Generated at build; real 404 status for unknown URLs |
| AI | /llms.txt, /llms-full.txt, AI crawlers allowed in robots.txt |

Tweet mirrors the FxTwitter status object (text, author, media, quote, article, …). Responses are edge-cached for 5 minutes — please be gentle.
/best-x-articles is a hand-reviewed weekly selection built from site/curated/*.json (title, author and a one-sentence summary in our own words — never the article text).
