Fetch MCP Server 🔗

The Fetch MCP Server is an innovative Model Context Protocol (MCP) server crafted to transform the way large language models (LLMs) interact with web content. Its primary function is enabling these models to efficiently fetch and convert HTML content into Markdown format. This capability is powered by the "fetch" tool, which extracts data directly from specified URLs.

Features

  • HTML to Markdown Conversion: The server's core function, allowing LLMs to process web content seamlessly.

  • Installation Flexibility: Supports installation via uv or pip, providing easy setup depending on user preference.

  • Extensive Configuration Options:

    • Integration support with platforms like Claude.app and Zed.
    • Custom user-agent settings to tailor the fetch requests as needed.
    • Controls for adherence to robots.txt file, ensuring ethical web scraping practices.

  • MCP Inspector: A debugging tool that enhances development processes by allowing detailed inspections of MCP interactions.

  • Open Source and Contribution-Friendly: Released under the MIT License, encouraging free usage and modifications, with active support for contributions.

Use Cases

The Fetch MCP server can be utilized in various scenarios:

  • Web Scraping for Content Aggregation: Perfect for tools that require bulk content extraction and processing into Markdown.

  • Data Processing for AI Models: Essential when preparing web data for models hosted on platforms like Claude.app, where content format conversion is necessary.

  • Custom Fetch Operations: Developers can create custom fetch operations with specific user-agent needs and compliance with web guidelines like robots.txt.

  • Development and Debugging: Use the MCP Inspector to troubleshoot and refine MCP server setups, ideal for evolving server environments and varying client needs.

The setup requires configuration with Claude Desktop, and the server's open-source nature under the MIT License encourages developers to freely use and modify it for their specific needs.
