Introducing Markdown for Agents
Cloudflare's network now supports real-time content conversion at the source, for enabled zones using content negotiation ↗ headers. When AI systems request pages from any website that uses Cloudflare and has Markdown for Agents enabled, they can express the preference for text/markdown in the request: our network will automatically and efficiently convert the HTML to markdown, when possible, on the fly.
Here is a curl example with the Accept negotiation header requesting this page from our developer documentation:
curl https://developers.cloudflare.com/fundamentals/reference/markdown-for-agents/ \ -H "Accept: text/markdown"The response to this request is now formatted in markdown:
HTTP/2 200date: Wed, 11 Feb 2026 11:44:48 GMTcontent-type: text/markdown; charset=utf-8content-length: 2899vary: acceptx-markdown-tokens: 725content-signal: ai-train=yes, search=yes, ai-input=yes
