What is the Requests MCP Server?

An MCP server that provides HTTP request capabilities, enabling LLMs to fetch and process web content.

What the server does

fetch — Web content fetching tool
Supports converting web content to Markdown format
Supports filtering web content (non-visual elements like script, style, meta)
Feeds into LLM context, reducing token consumption through Markdown conversion or filtering non-visual elements
fetch_to_file — Web content saving tool
Web content is not fed into LLM context, avoiding excessive token consumption
