@modelcontextprotocol/server-fetch

Model Context Protocol Servers

The Fetch MCP Server lets your AI fetch a URL and convert the page into clean, model-readable text — an official MCP reference implementation: lightweight and reliable.

For example, "read this doc and summarize the key points" — the AI uses Fetch to grab the page, extract the main text, and summarize.

What it does for you

Lets your AI fetch any web page and convert it into readable content — the lightest way to let AI read the web.

Capabilities

  • Fetch URL content
  • Convert to Markdown / plain text

Once installed, try asking your AI

Say this directly in Claude / Cursor or any client with this server connected

  • ›“Read this article and summarize three key points”
  • ›“Extract the main text of this page as plain text”

Why use it

Good for: giving the AI a simple, reliable "read a web page" capability without complex crawling.

Maintained by MCP officially; full health data is shown below.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is it different from Firecrawl?

Fetch is lighter — grabs a single page as text; Firecrawl does more (full-site crawl, search). For simple page reads, Fetch is enough.

Can it fetch pages behind a login?

It mainly fetches public pages; for complex auth, use a more specialized scraping server.
