Web Fetch
All web content retrieval uses curl (Bash) or the built-in WebFetch tool. No MCP
server needed — Claude Code's native tools cover every Fetch MCP operation with more
control.
Quick Reference
| Fetch MCP Tool | Replacement | When to Use |
|---|---|---|
fetch_html |
curl -s URL |
Raw HTML needed for parsing |
fetch_json |
curl -s URL | jq '.' |
API responses, structured data |
fetch_markdown |
WebFetch |
Readable page content (default output is markdown) |
fetch_txt |
curl -s URL or WebFetch |
Plain text extraction |
Default choice: Use WebFetch for general page content. Use curl when you need
headers, authentication, POST bodies, or raw format control.
