Fetch MCP Server

Fetch MCP Server is an essential Model Context Protocol utility for retrieving web content and converting raw web pages into clean, token-efficient Markdown. It gives LLM agents the ability to read public documentation, research articles, and API references without the overhead and vulnerability of running a heavy headless browser.

Core Features

• Intelligent Content Extraction: Converts HTML pages into clean, structured Markdown, stripping out ads, navigation clutter, cookie banners, and boilerplates.
• Token Efficient: Drastically reduces token consumption compared to feeding raw HTML into an LLM context window.
• Configurable Headers & User-Agents: Supports custom user-agent headers to ensure compatibility with modern web servers.
• Lightweight & Fast: Executes requests via fast native HTTP clients with low memory footprint, ideal for background research agents.
