A CLI tool for fetching and processing content using the Model Context Protocol
MCP Npx Fetch MCP server exists for a simple reason — assistants are far more useful when they can act on MCP Npx Fetch directly instead of describing what you should do. A CLI tool for fetching and processing content using the Model Context Protocol.
A powerful MCP server for fetching and transforming web content into various formats (HTML, JSON, Markdown, Plain Text) with ease.
Installation goes through your MCP client rather than a global install: point it at Fetch on npm and it is fetched when the client starts. The copy-paste blocks for Claude Desktop, Claude Code and Cursor are further down this page.
Once MCP Npx Fetch is connected, these are the calls the assistant has available:
fetch_html — The fetch_html tool exposed by this serverfetch_json — The fetch_json tool exposed by this serverfetch_txt — Fetches and returns clean plain text content, removing HTML tags and scriptsfetch_markdown — The fetch_markdown tool exposed by this serverAmong the developer tooling options, the useful question is rarely "what can it do" but "what does it cost you to run" — permissions, credentials, and how much of your context its toolset consumes. MCP Npx Fetch's toolset — fetch_html, fetch_json, fetch_txt and 1 more — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by tokenizin-agency; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.
SyncDev reviews every entry in this directory against the project's own documentation before publishing, and revisits them as servers change.
