How to Use the HTML to Text Extractor MCP in Cursor

Q: What happens to nested tables when I run this tool in Cursor?

The extracttext tool flattens nested HTML tables into readable, line-by-line plain text inside Cursor. It discards the table and cell tags while preserving the raw text content so Cursor can read it sequentially.

Clean up raw HTML inside Cursor so your AI agent writes clean code with plain text instead of bloated DOM code.

Perplexity

Feed clean plain text directly into Cursor

The `extract_text` tool strips out CSS, script tags, and HTML boilerplate so Cursor can generate code based on actual page content. Your agent reads clean text variables instead of wasting context on thousands of lines of unreadable markup. This MCP tool keeps your Cursor composer fast and accurate. It takes the output of raw scraping files in your project directory and formats them for immediate use in your codebase.

Save context tokens in Cursor Agent mode

The `extract_text` tool acts as an inline filter that drops token usage by 95% when Cursor scrapes web pages. Instead of feeding raw HTML into your active chat window, this MCP tool extracts only the readable text. It runs as a background process configured in your project's local config file. Cursor calls the tool automatically to process messy HTML strings before they hit the LLM context.

Clean up web scraper outputs in your editor

The `extract_text` tool handles the heavy lifting of parsing complex DOM structures directly inside your Cursor workspace. This MCP Server isolates the core text from header menus, sidebars, and footer links so your editor agent stays focused on the primary content. This setup keeps your coding loops fast because the tool runs inside an ephemeral sandbox. You get clean, parsed text injected directly into your active files without writing custom parsing scripts.

Setup guide

Set up HTML to Text Extractor MCP in Cursor

Prerequisites

Cursor installed (macOS, Windows, or Linux)
Active Vinkius subscription with a valid endpoint token

1

Open MCP Settings

Go to Cursor Settings → MCP or open the Command Palette (Cmd+Shift+P / Ctrl+Shift+P) and search for "MCP: Add Server".
2

Add the HTML to Text Extractor MCP

Cursor will create or open .cursor/mcp.json in your project root. Paste the JSON snippet on the right. Replace [YOUR_TOKEN_HERE] with your endpoint token from cloud.vinkius.com.
3

Enable Agent mode

Open Composer (Cmd+I / Ctrl+I) and switch to Agent mode using the dropdown at the top. MCP tools are only available in Agent mode.

Verify the connection

Ask Cursor something like "List my recent HTML to Text Extractor transactions." If the MCP tools are loaded correctly, Cursor will call the HTML to Text Extractor tools automatically. You can also check Settings → MCP for a green status indicator.
