Documentation Overview

Fetch URL MCP Server

An MCP server that fetches web pages and converts them to clean, readable Markdown.

Overview

This server takes a URL, fetches the page, and strips away everything you don't need — navigation, sidebars, banners, scripts — leaving just the main content as Markdown. It's perfect for feeding into LLMs, giving them the distilled essence of a page without the noise. It also recognizes GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, and Gist URLs and rewrites them to fetch the raw content directly.

By default it runs over stdio. Pass --http if you need a proper HTTP endpoint with auth, rate limiting, TLS, and session support.

Key Features

HTML to Markdown — Turns any public web page into clean, readable Markdown with metadata like title, url, contentSize, and truncated.
Smart URL handling — Recognizes GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, and Gist page URLs and rewrites them to raw-content endpoints before fetching.
Task mode — Big or slow pages can run as async MCP tasks with progress updates, instead of blocking. In HTTP mode, tasks are bound to the authenticated caller rather than a single MCP session, so they can be resumed after reconnecting as the same authenticated subject. Polling task state exposes task summaries; numeric progress remains out-of-band via notifications/progress.
Self-documenting — Includes an internal://instructions resource and a get-help prompt so clients know how to use it.
HTTP mode — Optionally serves over Streamable HTTP with host/origin validation, bearer or OAuth auth, rate limiting, health checks, and TLS.

Web Client

A browser-based client is available if you want to use the server without any MCP setup.
