Retrieve public web pages as readable Markdown with the reference Fetch MCP server, including pagination for longer responses.
The reference Fetch MCP server retrieves a URL and returns web content to an assistant. Its default conversion produces Markdown, making an ordinary documentation page easier to inspect in a text-based workflow.
Give the assistant the URL of the page you want it to check and the question the page should answer. Fetch supports a maximum response length and a start position for continuing through longer content. Its raw option can return the unconverted page when that is useful.
Fetch is a content retrieval tool, not a browser session that logs in, clicks controls or runs a full user journey. Pages that depend on a signed-in browser or client-side interaction may need another integration. Public-page retrieval does not require a provider API key. The reference README documents installation through uvx mcp-server-fetch.
Check the linked publisher documentation and your connected client's tool list. Names and availability can vary with the server version and account permissions.
