Install Spa Reader in Claude Code, Cursor or VS Code

What the publisher says
From the Spa Reader repository's README, as published. We do not edit it. Read it on GitHub
spa-reader-mcp
MCP server that renders JavaScript SPA pages and extracts Markdown via headless Chromium.
Traditional scrapers fail on SPAs because content is rendered client-side. This tool launches Playwright, waits for JS to finish, then extracts clean Markdown using Readability + Turndown.
