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.
