# Web URL to Compact Markdown Distiller (BM25 Budget Control)

> Web URL to Compact Markdown Distiller (BM25 Budget Control) is a paid API for AI agents from mcp-compiler.agentdiet.dev, paid per call via MPP, $0.001/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-10-21).

Fetches a URL or raw HTML and distills it into compact, agent-ready markdown, structured data, skeleton outlines, or BM25-focused token-budgeted excerpts.

## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability mcp-compiler-agentdiet-dev-web-url-to-compact-markdown-distiller-bm25-62a63def
```

Example prompt: Can you fetch https://docs.stripe.com/api/charges and distill it into compact markdown using budget mode, focusing on 'charge object fields', and keep it under 500 tokens?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need to read a live web page but must stay within a strict token budget, or when you want to compress web content before passing it to an LLM to save context and cost. It is especially valuable for SPA or documentation sites where raw HTML is bloated. Prefer it over generic scrapers when you need BM25-focused relevance filtering or multiple distillation modes (markdown, structured, skeleton, budget). Best for agent pipelines where per-call token efficiency directly affects LLM cost.

## Known failure modes

- URL is unreachable or returns non-200 → fetch error in status field
- JavaScript-heavy SPA fails to render content → empty or partial distillation
- max_tokens is set too low for meaningful content → truncated or minimal output
- Invalid mode value → validation error
- Payment not provided or insufficient → HTTP 402 payment required
- HTML payload too large → timeout or processing error

## How this service works

Distill a URL or raw HTML payload with BM25 budget control (Live x402 v2, IETF MPP & MCP endpoint at https://mcp-compiler.agentdiet.dev/v1/spa-markdown-reader)

## Output

Returns a 'data' object containing the distilled content (markdown, structured JSON, skeleton outline, or BM25 excerpt depending on mode), plus an roi_proof block showing raw vs distilled token counts, compression ratio, tokens saved, and estimated LLM cost saved in USD. Also includes cache hit/miss status and billing details.
