🌐Fetch

By Anthropic· 86,000

Let Claude fetch a URL and read the page as clean markdown.

What it does

The Fetch reference server retrieves a URL and converts its contents to markdown.

What it gives Claude:

  • Fetch a single URL on demand
  • Convert HTML to clean, readable markdown
  • Pull a known page into context without a full browser

Lightweight and credential-free. Runs via uvx, so you need uv installed. For full interactive browsing, use Playwright instead.

Installation

Before you start

Requires uv (which provides uvx). Install it with:

curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh

  1. Make sure Claude is on your device and in your terminal.

    MCP servers register with Claude Code via claude mcp add. You need Claude Code installed first:

    npm i -g @anthropic-ai/claude-code
  2. Set up the server on your machine.

    Runs the project's installer (clone + dependencies + config). Follow any prompts. After this finishes, the server is ready to register with Claude Code in the next step.

  3. Restart Claude Code.

    Quit and reopen Claude Code so it picks up the new MCP registration. Run /mcp inside Claude Code to confirm the server is connected.

  4. Use it.

    Ask Claude naturally. It will call the server's tools when your request matches one. Tool calls show up inline so you can see exactly what Claude is doing.
