SteadyFetch is an MCP server that gives your AI agents reliable web access with automatic retry, circuit breaker protection, caching, and anti-bot
Most developer tooling work still happens through a UI a human drives. Steadyfetch MCP server moves it into the conversation instead. SteadyFetch is an MCP server that gives your AI agents reliable web access with automatic retry, circuit breaker protection, caching, and anti-bot bypass — out of the box.
steadyfetch on PyPI is all you need. Most clients run it directly, so configuration is a few lines and a restart.
The server publishes 5 tools. What each one is for:
fetch_url — Full reliability fetch — returns markdown + HTMLfetch_markdown — Returns only clean markdown, optimized for LLMscheck_domain — Circuit breaker status for a domaincache_stats — Cache utilization metricsclear_cache — Flush the cache for fresh dataPlenty of developer tooling servers cover similar ground. The differences that matter in practice are scope of access and how much setup stands between you and a working tool call. Steadyfetch's toolset — fetch_url, fetch_markdown, check_domain and 2 more — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by carsonlabs; 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.
