Tools & Capabilities Breakdown

Intercept Mcp Tools (5)

fetch

Fetch a URL and return its content as clean markdown. Handles Twitter/X tweets, YouTube videos (with transcripts), arXiv papers, PDFs, Wikipedia articles, and GitHub repos/files/issues/PRs/releases directly. Direct image URLs (png/jpeg/gif/webp) are returned as an image block for vision. Otherwise checks a shared cache, then falls back through a multi-tier chain: Jina Reader, web archives (Wayback, archive.ph, Arquivo.pt), raw fetch, RSS, CrossRef, Semantic Scholar, HackerNews, Reddit, OG meta. Long pages are truncated at maxLength characters — paginate with startIndex. Results are cached for the session; pass noCache to force a live fetch.

fetch_batch

Fetch up to 10 URLs in parallel and return each as clean markdown. Same handler/fallback chain as the fetch tool, with a smaller per-URL length budget. Use after a search to pull several sources in one call.

research

Search the web and fetch the content of the top results in one call. Returns the full content of each result as markdown, ready to summarize or compare. Use this instead of separate search + fetch calls when researching a topic.
