AI Markdown Feed

WordPress Plugin for AI-Ready Content

Serve clean markdown from WordPress without changing the visitor experience.

AI Markdown Feed helps WordPress sites support AI systems, language models, headless frontends, documentation workflows, and content consumers that prefer markdown over HTML. When a request includes the Accept: text/markdown header, the plugin returns clean, semantic markdown while normal visitors continue receiving the standard website.

Make your website easier for AI systems to consume.

Most WordPress pages are designed for browsers, not AI agents. They include layout markup, theme wrappers, classes, shortcodes, and other HTML artifacts that add noise and increase token usage.

AI Markdown Feed gives compatible clients a cleaner option. It detects markdown requests at the HTTP layer, converts the public page output into structured markdown, and preserves the content that matters: headings, paragraphs, links, lists, images, tables, code blocks, formatting, and blockquotes.

Designed for transparent operation

The plugin only activates when a client requests markdown. Admin screens, REST API calls, AJAX requests, login pages, and standard browser traffic continue to work normally.

Why markdown delivery matters

AI systems need useful content, not unnecessary page structure. By serving markdown through content negotiation, your site can provide a more efficient format for agents and language models without rebuilding your content platform or creating a separate API.

  • Reduce excess HTML and improve token efficiency for AI consumption.
  • Keep WordPress as the source of truth for public content.
  • Support headless, documentation, and content syndication workflows.
  • Offer a standards-based request pattern using the HTTP Accept header.

Built for practical WordPress use cases

AI Integration

Provide cleaner, lower-noise content to AI agents, language models, and retrieval workflows.

Headless WordPress

Serve markdown-formatted content to static site generators, frontends, and custom applications.

Documentation Systems

Move WordPress content into markdown-based knowledge bases, docs portals, and internal systems.

Content Syndication

Distribute posts and pages in a format that is easier for downstream systems to parse.

API Consumers

Let clients request the content format that best fits their workflow using standard HTTP behavior.

AI-Ready Foundations

Prepare existing WordPress content for modern AI-enabled search, automation, and knowledge workflows.

How it works

A client requests markdown. The request includes the Accept: text/markdown header on a public frontend page.
WordPress renders the page normally. The plugin captures the generated HTML output without changing normal site behavior.
The output is cleaned for conversion. WordPress-specific artifacts such as wp-* classes, empty paragraphs, processed shortcodes, and excessive whitespace are removed.
Clean HTML becomes semantic markdown. The plugin converts the page using the industry-standard league/html-to-markdown library.
The client receives markdown. The response is returned with the proper Content-Type: text/markdown; charset=UTF-8 header.

Simple request pattern

Request any public WordPress page with the markdown Accept header. Standard browser requests continue to receive HTML.

curl -H "Accept: text/markdown" https://yoursite.com/sample-post/
curl -H "Accept: text/html, text/markdown, */*" https://yoursite.com/sample-post/

Technical requirements

  • WordPress 6.0 or higher
  • PHP 8.0 or higher
  • Composer for source installation
  • No additional overhead for normal requests

Engineered with a minimal footprint

Header-based negotiation

Markdown delivery is triggered by the request header, not by duplicate pages, special URLs, or manual exports.

Fallback behavior

If conversion fails, the plugin falls back to serving the original HTML content.

Frontend-only processing

The plugin avoids admin, REST API, AJAX, and login requests so core WordPress workflows remain unaffected.

Roadmap

AI Markdown Feed is starting with a focused, practical feature set: clean markdown delivery through HTTP content negotiation. Planned enhancements include caching, an admin configuration UI, per-page markdown overrides, and custom converter support.
