Fetch MCP Server

Instructions

Implementation Reference

• src/Fetcher.ts:32-43 (handler)

  The core handler function for the 'fetch_html' tool. It fetches the HTML content from the provided URL using the shared _fetch method and returns it wrapped in the expected MCP response format.

  static async html(requestPayload: RequestPayload) {
    try {
      const response = await this._fetch(requestPayload);
      const html = await response.text();
      return { content: [{ type: "text", text: html }], isError: false };
    } catch (error) {
      return {
        content: [{ type: "text", text: (error as Error).message }],
        isError: true,
      };
    }
  }

• src/index.ts:110-112 (registration)

  The dispatch logic in the CallToolRequest handler that routes 'fetch_html' calls to Fetcher.html.

  if (request.params.name === "fetch_html") {
    const fetchResult = await Fetcher.html(validatedArgs);
    return fetchResult;

• src/index.ts:31-44 (schema)

  The input schema definition for the 'fetch_html' tool, registered in the ListTools response.

  inputSchema: {
    type: "object",
    properties: {
      url: {
        type: "string",
        description: "URL of the website to fetch",
      },
      headers: {
        type: "object",
        description: "Optional headers to include in the request",
      },
    },
    required: ["url"],
  },

• src/types.ts:3-6 (schema)

  Zod schema used for validating the input arguments to all fetch tools, including 'fetch_html'.

  export const RequestPayloadSchema = z.object({
    url: z.string().url(),
    headers: z.record(z.string()).optional(),
  });

• src/Fetcher.ts:5-30 (helper)

  Shared helper method for performing the HTTP fetch with custom User-Agent and error handling, used by the 'fetch_html' handler.

  export class Fetcher {
    private static async _fetch({
      url,
      headers,
    }: RequestPayload): Promise<Response> {
      try {
        const response = await fetch(url, {
          headers: {
            "User-Agent":
              "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/120.0.0.0 Safari/537.36",
            ...headers,
          },
        });
  
        if (!response.ok) {
          throw new Error(`HTTP error: ${response.status}`);
        }
        return response;
      } catch (e: unknown) {
        if (e instanceof Error) {
          throw new Error(`Failed to fetch ${url}: ${e.message}`);
        } else {
          throw new Error(`Failed to fetch ${url}: Unknown error`);
        }
      }
    }
