About Fetch MCP Server

Fetch MCP Server is a Model Context Protocol server that fetches web URLs and converts HTML into clean markdown for LLM consumption. It's an open-source reference implementation of the MCP server specification.

It does one job — pull a page and hand back readable markdown — with cross-platform support for macOS, Windows, and Linux via the Node.js runtime. It's free to use with no paid tier or usage restrictions.

It fits anyone who wants an LLM to read web pages as clean text and is running an MCP-compatible client such as Claude Desktop, which it requires to be useful. It's a weaker fit if you need more than fetching, since it's a single-purpose tool, or if your targets resist scraping, since web fetching may be blocked by sites with anti-scraping protections or rate limits.

It's the minimal reference option: one job, no cost, and no configuration beyond an MCP client.
