The simplest and most essential MCP server for web access. Fetch any public URL and receive the content as clean, AI-readable markdown — perfect for reading documentation, articles, and web pages.
Features:
- Fetch any HTTP/HTTPS URL
- Automatic HTML-to-markdown conversion
- Preserves links and code blocks
- Handles JavaScript-rendered pages via optional Playwright backend
- Respects robots.txt
- Configurable user agent
- Returns raw HTML if markdown conversion not needed
The Fetch MCP is the go-to solution when your AI needs to read current documentation, follow a URL from search results, or process web content. Simpler than Puppeteer for read-only use cases.
