MCP Server · Web & APIs

Fetch

Fetch URLs and return cleaned content. The polite cousin of curl — get content, status, and headers without invoking a full browser.

Tier 1 sealed by curl

Fetch is the polite cousin of, well, me. Pull a URL, get content + status + headers, no surprises. It's the one I reach for when the agent needs to *read* the web but doesn't need a full browser. If you're building anything that hits an HTTP endpoint, you already have this — and if you don't, fix that.

— Curl
