This server enables LLMs to retrieve and process content from web pages, converting HTML to markdown for easier consumption. The fetch tool will truncate the response, but by using the `start_index` argument, you can specify where to start the content extraction. This lets models read a webpage in chunks, until they find the information they need. ### Available Tools - `fetch` - Fetches a URL from the internet and extracts its contents as markdown. - `url` (string, required): URL to fetch - `max_length` (integer, optional): Maximum number of characters to return (default: 5000) - `start_index` (integer, optional): Start content from this character index (default: 0) - `raw` (boolean, optional): Get raw content without markdown conversion (default: false) ### Prompts - **fetch** - Fetch a URL and extract its contents as markdown - Arguments: - `url` (string, required): URL to fetch ## Installation Optionally: Install node.js, this will cause the fetch server to use a different HTML simplifier that is more robust. ### Using uv (recommended) When using [`uv`](https://docs.astral.sh/uv/) no specific installation is needed. We will use [`uvx`](https://docs.astral.sh/uv/guides/tools/) to directly run *mcp-server-fetch*. ### Using PIP Alternatively you can install `mcp-server-fetch` via pip: ``` pip install mcp-server-fetch ``` After installation, you can run it as a script using: ``` python -m mcp_server_fetch ``` ## Configuration ### Configure for Claude.app Add to your Claude settings:

Using uvx

```json "mcpServers": { "fetch": { "command": "uvx", "args": ["mcp-server-fetch"] } } ```

Using docker

```json "mcpServers": { "fetch": { "command": "docker", "args": ["run", "-i", "--rm", "mcp/fetch"] } } ```

Using pip installation

```json "mcpServers": { "fetch": { "command": "python", "args": ["-m", "mcp_server_fetch"] } } ```

### Customization - robots.txt By default, the server will obey a websites robots.txt file if the request came from the model (via a tool), but not if the request was user initiated (via a prompt). This can be disabled by adding the argument `--ignore-robots-txt` to the `args` list in the configuration. ### Customization - User-agent By default, depending on if the request came from the model (via a tool), or was user initiated (via a prompt), the server will use either the user-agent ``` ModelContextProtocol/1.0 (Autonomous; +https://github.com/modelcontextprotocol/servers) ``` or ``` ModelContextProtocol/1.0 (User-Specified; +https://github.com/modelcontextprotocol/servers) ``` This can be customized by adding the argument `--user-agent=YourUserAgent` to the `args` list in the configuration. ## Debugging You can use the MCP inspector to debug the server. For uvx installations: ``` npx @modelcontextprotocol/inspector uvx mcp-server-fetch ``` Or if you've installed the package in
