Serve markdown versions of your HTML pages to AI agents and bots

AI agents increasingly consume web content. This package lets your Laravel app serve markdown versions of HTML pages. Markdown requests are detected via Accept: text/markdown header, known AI user agent patterns, or .md URL suffix. The conversion is driver-based (local PHP or Cloudflare Workers AI), results are cached, and HTML can be preprocessed before conversion.

Here's a quick example:

use Spatie\MarkdownResponse\Middleware\ProvideMarkdownResponse;

Route::middleware(ProvideMarkdownResponse::class)->group(function () {
    Route::get('/about', [PageController::class, 'show']);
    Route::get('/posts/{post}', [PostController::class, 'show']);
});

Now when an AI agent visits /about or a user visits /about.md, they receive a clean markdown version of the page.

You can also convert HTML to markdown directly:

use Spatie\MarkdownResponse\Facades\Markdown;

$markdown = Markdown::convert($html);

And test your conversions:

use Spatie\MarkdownResponse\Facades\Markdown;

it('converts the about page to markdown', function () {
    Markdown::fake();

    $this->get('/about.md')->assertOk();

    Markdown::assertConverted();
});
