A Claude plugin that enables article parsing, PDF extraction, and content summarization via the Instaparser API.

What It Does

This plugin teaches Claude how to use the Instaparser API to:

• Parse articles — Extract title, author, body content, images, and metadata from any web page
• Parse PDFs — Extract text and structured content from PDF files (by URL or file upload)
• Summarize content — Generate AI-powered summaries with key sentences from any article

2. Install the Plugin

Claude Code CLI:

Usage Examples

Once installed, use the skill via its namespaced command (/instaparser:instaparser-api) or just ask Claude naturally:

You say	What happens
"Parse this article: https://example.com/post"	Extracts title, author, body text, images
"Get the text from this PDF: https://example.com/report.pdf"	Extracts text content from the PDF
"Summarize this article: https://example.com/post"	Returns a summary and key sentences
"What does this page say? https://example.com/page"	Parses and presents the article content

Example Conversation

You: Can you parse this article and give me the key points?
     https://www.example.com/blog/interesting-post

Claude: I'll parse that article using Instaparser...

     "Interesting Post Title"
     By Author Name | Published Jan 15, 2026
     1,247 words

     Here are the key points:
