Mescio

Mescio for Agents makes your WordPress site AI-ready by silently serving posts, pages and WooCommerce products as clean, structured Markdown to any AI agent or LLM pipeline that requests it — using the standard HTTP <code>Accept: text/markdown</code> content negotiation header.
Human visitors using a browser are completely unaffected. Mescio for Agents only activates when an AI agent or crawler explicitly asks for Markdown.
<h4>Why Markdown?</h4>
Feeding raw HTML to an AI is expensive and noisy. A heading like <code>## About Us</code> costs ~3 tokens in Markdown vs 12–15 tokens as HTML — before accounting for <code><div></code> wrappers, navigation bars and script tags that carry zero semantic value. This blog post you are reading takes 16,180 tokens in HTML and 3,150 tokens in Markdown. That is an 80% reduction.
Markdown has become the lingua franca for AI systems. Mescio for Agents lets your site speak it natively, at zero cost to your human visitors.
<h4>How it works</h4>
When an HTTP client sends a request with <code>Accept: text/markdown</code>, Mescio for Agents intercepts the WordPress request lifecycle before any template is rendered, converts the post content to clean Markdown, and returns it with the correct <code>Content-Type: text/markdown</code> header.
<pre><code>curl https://yoursite.com/your-post/ \
 -H "Accept: text/markdown"
</code></pre>
<h4>Features</h4>
<ul>
<li>Zero configuration — works out of the box on any singular post, page or custom post type</li>
<li><code>/llms.txt</code> endpoint — auto-generated index of all your content in the <a href="https://llmstxt.org" rel="nofollow ugc">llmstxt.org</a> standard format, so AI agents can discover what’s on your site</li>
<li><code>/llms-full.txt</code> endpoint — full site content in a single Markdown file, ready for RAG pipelines</li>
<li>WooCommerce support — product pages include price, SKU, stock status, rating, attributes and gallery; products are grouped by category in <code>llms.txt</code></li>
<li>YAML front matter — every document includes structured metadata (title, description, URL, date, categories, tags, featured image)</li>
<li>Multilingual — detects language via WPML, Polylang, TranslatePress or WordPress locale; emits <code>Content-Language</code> and <code>Link: rel=alternate</code> headers</li>
<li>REST API endpoint — <code>/wp-json/mescio-for-agents/v1/markdown?id=<post_id></code> or <code>?url=<permalink></code></li>
<li>Page builder cleanup — aggressively strips Elementor, Divi, WPBakery and Beaver Builder layout noise</li>
<li>Token count header — <code>X-Markdown-Tokens</code> tells AI pipelines how large the document is before processing</li>
<li>Content Signals — emits <code>Content-Signal: ai-train=yes, search=yes, ai-input=yes</code></li>
<li>Correct HTTP caching — <code>Vary: Accept</code> ensures CDNs cache HTML and Markdown versions separately</li>
</ul>
<h4>Response headers</h4>
<ul>
<li><code>Content-Type: text/markdown; charset=utf-8</code></li>
<li><code>Content-Language: it</code> (or detected language)</li>

<li><code>Content-Signal: ai-train=yes, search=yes, ai-input=yes</code></li>

</ul>
<h4>Multilingual plugin support</h4>

<li>WPML — reads language and available translations automatically</li>

<li>TranslatePress — reads <code>trp_language</code> post meta</li>
