Wick Tools (6)
wick_fetch
Fetch any URL and get clean, LLM-friendly markdown. Sites that block standard HTTP clients return full content because Wick uses Chrome's actual TLS fingerprint.
wick_crawl
Crawl a website starting from a URL. Follows same-domain links, fetches each page through Chrome's TLS pipeline, and returns markdown for every page.
wick_map
Discover all URLs on a site. Checks sitemap.xml first, then follows links.
wick_search
Search the web. Use `wick_fetch` to read any result in full.
wick_download
Ready-to-Paste Client Configurations
Paste either (or both) of these JSON server blocks into your client config file (e.g. claude_desktop_config.json or ~/.cursor/mcp.json).
