mcp-bun-fetch

MCP server that fetches web content, converts HTML to Markdown, and processes it with Claude AI. This is meant to be a replacement for Claude's default WebFetch, that seems to get regularly blocked from servers. This works around that by not identifying itself as Claude.

Requirements

• Bun

• Claude CLI (authenticated)

Related MCP server: Web Reader
