Fetch MCP Server

A Model Context Protocol server that provides web content fetching capabilities. 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:

When using uv no specific installation is needed. We will use uvx to directly run mcp-server-fetch.
