excerpt: Help AI agents read your WordPress site more efficiently. A free plugin that serves clean Markdown to LLM browsers - reducing tokens, cost, and energy use per request

When an AI agent visits a webpage, it typically receives the entire page including navigation elements, scripts, and underlying markup. Much of this information is irrelevant to the actual task, yet the model still has to process it. This adds unnecessary noise, increases token usage and cost, and results in higher energy consumption than is needed.

This plugin fixes that. When a known AI agent or LLM browser visits your WordPress site, it receives a clean, stripped-down Markdown version of the content instead. No page render required.

We built it for chancerylaneproject.org to make our climate-aligned legal content as accessible as possible to AI tools – and we’re sharing it freely so other organisations can do the same.

## **Get the plugin**

Download below or from our [GitHub repository](https://github.com/chancery-lane-project/wp-mfa-plugin).

## **What the plugin does**

- Converts posts and taxonomy archive pages into Markdown and saves them as static files
- Serves those Markdown files directly to AI agents — identified by user-agent, query parameter, or Accept: text/markdown header
- Injects a <link rel=”alternate” type=”text/markdown”> tag into each page’s <head> so agents can discover Markdown versions automatically
- Generates an llms.txt index file to help LLM tools navigate your site
- Tracks which agents are accessing your content and how, giving you visibility into AI-driven traffic

## **Who it’s for**

- Any organisation running WordPress that wants its content used accurately and efficiently by AI tools
- Particularly useful for nonprofits, law firms, and publishers whose content is frequently referenced in AI-assisted drafting
