About
The reference Fetch server from the Model Context Protocol project. It gives your AI one tool, fetch, that downloads a URL and converts the HTML to Markdown, with a start index so long pages can be read in parts.
Use it when you want Claude to read docs, a changelog or an article you link. It runs locally with uvx (Python), so nothing goes through a third-party service. Be aware it can reach local and internal addresses on your network, so only use it with sites you trust.
