What is the Webfetch Mcp Server?

Webfetch Mcp source profile. From the maintainer documentation: “A local Python MCP server that replaces your AI assistant's built-in WebFetch tool with a fully configurable HTTP client — supporting domain-scoped headers, retries, proxies, timeouts, output formats, bot-block detection, and prompt-injection sanitization, all without touching a single line of your assistant's config beyond registering the server.”

Local setup

The project provides a local client configuration using /absolute/path/to/.venv/bin/python. Follow the repository’s build and installation steps before copying it, and replace example paths with the paths on your own computer.

Configuration values

The example declares WEBFETCH_CONFIG. Secret-looking values have been replaced with placeholders. Required and optional labels are shown only when the documentation states them.
