A Model Context Protocol server that provides web content fetching capabilities using browser automation, OCR, and multiple extraction methods. This server enables LLMs to retrieve and process content from web pages, even those that require JavaScript rendering or use techniques that prevent simple scraping.
fetch - Fetches a URL from the internet using browser automation and multi-method extraction (including OCR).
url (string, required): URL to fetchraw (boolean, optional): Get the actual HTML content if the requested page, without simplification (default: false)The server uses multiple methods to extract content:
The server uses a sophisticated scoring system to select the best result, considering:
Base content score (up to 50 points)
Structure bonus (up to 20 points)
Quality penalties
The scoring system ensures the most reliable and high-quality content is selected, regardless of the extraction method used. Debug logging is available to track scoring decisions.
url (string, required): URL to fetchTo install and run mcp-server-fetch using Docker, follow these steps:
Build the Docker image:
docker build -t mcp-server-fetch .
Run the Docker container:
docker run --rm -i mcp-server-fetch
Add to your Claude settings:
{
"mcpServers": {
"fetch": {
"command": "docker",
"args": [
"run",
"--rm",
"-i",
"mcp-server-fetch"
],
"disabled": false,
"alwaysAllow": []
}
}
}
By default, depending on if the request came from the model (via a tool), or was user initiated (via a prompt), the server will use either the user-agent
ModelContextProtocol/1.0 (Autonomous; +https://github.com/modelcontextprotocol/servers)
or
ModelContextProtocol/1.0 (User-Specified; +https://github.com/modelcontextprotocol/servers)
This can be customized by adding the argument --user-agent=YourUserAgent to the args list in the configuration.
The server now includes advanced content extraction capabilities:
