## Description
Local stdio MCP server for ClawFetch web intelligence. Fetch any page as clean markdown, render JS-heavy SPAs, extract structured data from 17+ site types (GitHub, X, Hacker News, YouTube, Wikipedia, npm, PyPI, SEC EDGAR, Zillow and more), run multi-source research, parse office documents, and check domain availability. Runs on your machine via npx @clawfetch/mcp. Paid tools are billed per call through x402 in USDC on Base from your own wallet (set CLAWFETCH_PRIVATE_KEY); no API keys, no accounts. health_check, wallet_info and list_extractors are free.

## Tools
Capabilities this server exposes over MCP:

- **extract_data** — Extract structured data from 17+ site types
- **research_topic** — Multi-source research with citations
- **check_domains** — Check domain name availability
- **suggest_domains** — Generate available domain suggestions
- **parse_document** — Parse office docs (docx/pptx/xlsx/pdf/…) to markdown
- **enrich_company** — Company profile from a domain: socials, emails, tech stack, key pages
- **list_extractors** — List supported structured data extractors
- **health_check** — Check API health status
- **wallet_info** — Show payment wallet address

## Documentation

## What Clawfetch MCP does

The Clawfetch MCP MCP server connects MCP-compatible clients to the ClawFetch Web Intelligence API. It gives agents operations for retrieving web pages as markdown, rendering pages that depend on JavaScript, extracting structured records, researching topics across multiple sources, and parsing office documents into markdown.

Its supported extraction targets include GitHub, npm, PyPI, Twitter/X, LinkedIn, YouTube, Product Hunt, Hacker News, Reddit, Crunchbase, Wikipedia, and other site types. The complete extractor list and each extractor’s schema can be requested with `list_extractors`.

This server belongs in the Search & Data Extraction category. It is suited to agents that need normalized web information or cited research rather than only raw HTTP responses.

## How it works

The Clawfetch MCP MCP server can communicate with a local MCP client through stdio, or run as an HTTP service using MCP Streamable HTTP. In HTTP mode, clients initialize a session at `/mcp`, receive an `Mcp-Session-Id`, and send later tool calls with that session identifier. A server-sent events stream is available for notifications, and sessions can be closed with `DELETE /mcp`. The `/health` endpoint returns server health information.

Paid calls use the x402 payment protocol with USDC on Base. The configured wallet signs the payments, so the corresponding address must be funded on Base mainnet. Listed prices range from $0.001 for `fetch_url` to $0.02 for `research_topic`; `health_check` and `wallet_info` are free.

## Setup and configuration

Install the package globally with npm:

```bash
npm install -g @clawfetch/mcp
```

For a local client, configure the `clawfetch-mcp` command and set `CLAWFETCH_PRIVATE_KEY` to the 0x-prefixed Ethereum private key used for x402 payments. For HTTP mode, set `CLAWFETCH_TRANSPORT=http`; `CLAWFETCH_PORT` defaults to 3001, and `CLAWFETCH_HOST` defaults to `0.0.0.0`.

Optional settings include `CLAWFETCH_BASE_URL`, `CLAWFETCH_TIMEOUT_MS`, and `CLAWFETCH_DEBUG`. The private key should remain in local configuration and should not be submitted to the ClawFetch website.

## Tools and capabilities

The Clawfetch MCP MCP server exposes these tools:

- `fetch_url` retrieves a URL as clean markdown.
- `render_page` handles JavaScript-heavy SPAs and React applications.
- `extract_data` returns structured information for supported site types.
- `research_topic` performs multi-source research with citations.
- `check_domains` checks domain availability.
- `suggest_domains` generates available domain suggestions.
- `parse_document` converts DOCX, PPTX, XLSX, PDF, and other supported documents to markdown.
- `list_extractors` lists available structured-data extractors.
- `health_check` checks API health, while `wallet_info` displays the payment wallet address.

## Limitations and notes

The hosted public MCP endpoint is retired and returns HTTP 410 Gone. Use a self-hosted local instance or call `https://api.clawfetch.ai` directly. ClawFetch does not subsidize paid requests, so tool usage requires USDC in the wallet on Base.
