4fetch
4fetch is an MCP server that fetches URLs and returns clean Markdown with metadata without an API key.
About
4fetch is a hosted MCP server that fetches a URL and returns clean Markdown with metadata so coding agents can quote pages, summarize competitors, or ingest docs without maintaining a custom scraper. It suits developers in Idea and research, Validate when comparing landing pages, and Build when pulling reference material into repo docs. The registry lists a streamable-http remote at https://api.4fetch.com/mcp/v1/fetch with no required secrets, though traffic is rate-limited per IP. Register the remote in Claude Code, Cursor, or another MCP client that supports HTTP transports. 4fetch is a fetch-and-convert utility MCP, not a full browser automation suite or authenticated crawl—respect robots, terms, and rate limits when researching.
