Fetch MCP server

This is a small helper that lets your AI go and fetch things from the web. Instead of you copying and pasting a page into the chat, your AI can grab it itself and hand you back the useful part. It is handy for anyone who reads articles, checks web data or works with YouTube videos during the day.

What this MCP server does

You ask your AI something that involves a web address, like a blog post or a YouTube link. Your AI passes that address to this helper. The helper visits the page, grabs the content, and cleans it up into a format that is easy to read, such as plain text, Markdown or. It then sends that back to your AI, which turns it into an answer for you. You never have to leave the chat or copy anything by hand.

What you can do with it

• Read a web page and give you the main article text
• Pull data from a web address that returns JSON
• Get the transcript of a YouTube video
• Convert a page into Markdown you can paste elsewhere
• Fetch raw HTML when you need the exact page source
• Limit how much text comes back so answers stay short
• Fetch through a proxy when you are behind a company firewall

Try asking your AI

• “Summarise this article for me: https://example.com/blog/post”
• “What does the data at https://api.example.com/data say?”
• “Give me the transcript of this YouTube video in English”
• “Turn this page into Markdown so I can paste it into my notes”

What it gives back to you

You get the content back inside your chat, already cleaned up. That might be a summary of an article, a block of text, a list of data from a JSON page, or the words spoken in a video. By default it returns the first 5000 characters, and you can ask for more or start further in if the page is long.
