MCP Fetch tool
A web-reading tool for MCP clients that turns retrieved HTML into Markdown and supports reading long pages in chunks.
About this listing
The fetch tool in the MCP reference Fetch server retrieves a supplied web URL for an agent and extracts its content as Markdown. Its max_length and start_index inputs let a client limit the response and continue from a later character position; raw mode can return content without Markdown conversion.
This is an individual tool, not a hosted browsing service. Free refers to the available server code; running it and using a separately selected model or infrastructure may incur charges. Review network access carefully: the documented private-address guard has limitations, including DNS rebinding.
