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.

Install

uvx mcp-server-fetch

Example config (Cursor / Claude Desktop)

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

VS Code uses "servers" instead of "mcpServers" (why). On Windows, wrap npx with cmd /c (fix).
