## Installation

From MCP Registry (Recommended)

This server is available in the Model Context Protocol Registry. Install it using your MCP client.

mcp-name: io.github.huoshuiai42/huoshui-fetch

```bash
# Using uv (recommended)
uv sync

# Or install from GitHub
pip install git+https://github.com/yourusername/huoshui-fetch.git
```

## Usage

### Run with uvx (recommended for one-time use)

```bash
# From the repository
uvx --from . huoshui-fetch

# From GitHub (once published)
uvx --from git+https://github.com/yourusername/huoshui-fetch.git huoshui-fetch
```

### Run directly

```bash
# Using uv
uv run python -m huoshui_fetch

# Or if installed
python -m huoshui_fetch
```

The server communicates via standard input/output, making it perfect for integration with Claude Desktop and other MCP-compatible clients.

## Configuration for Claude Desktop

Add to your Claude Desktop configuration:

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "huoshui-fetch": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["--no-cache", "--from", ".", "huoshui-fetch"],
      "cwd": "/path/to/huoshui-fetch"
    }
  }
}
```

Or if installed from GitHub:

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "huoshui-fetch": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": [
        "--from",
        "git+https://github.com/yourusername/huoshui-fetch.git",
        "huoshui-fetch"
      ]
    }
  }
}
```

## Example Usage

Once configured, you can use the tools in Claude Desktop:

```
// Fetch a webpage
fetch_url("https://example.com")

// Convert HTML to Markdown
html_to_markdown_tool("<h1>Hello</h1><p>World</p>")

// Extract article content
extract_article_tool(html_content, "https://example.com/article")
```

## Requirements

- Python 3.11+
- Dependencies listed in pyproject.toml

## Development & Publishing

This project includes comprehensive automation for building and publishing to PyPI.

### Automated Publishing Workflow

```bash
# Complete automated workflow (TestPyPI + PyPI)
uv run python scripts/publish.py --include-pypi

# TestPyPI only (recommended for testing)
uv run python scripts/publish.py

# Bump version and publish
uv run python scripts/publish.py --version-bump patch --include-pypi
```

### Individual Commands

```bash
# Version management
uv run python scripts/version_manager.py --check
uv run python scripts/version_manager.py --bump patch

# Setup PyPI credentials (first time)
uv run python scripts/credentials_setup.py

# Build package
uv run python scripts/build.py

# Run comprehensive tests
uv run python scripts/test.py

# Upload to PyPI
uv run python scripts/upload.py
```

### Features

- ✅ **Version Management**: Automatic synchronization across all files
- ✅ **Quality Checks**: Ruff linting and MyPy type checking
- ✅ **Build Automation**: Clean builds with validation
- ✅ **Testing Suite**: Comprehensive package and functionality tests
- ✅ **Publishing Workflow**: TestPyPI → PyPI using `uv publish` (supports `.pypirc` files)
- ✅ **Error Recovery**: Built-in error handling and recovery options

See [PUBLISHING.md](PUBLISHING.md) for detailed documentation.

## DXT Extension

This project supports DXT (Desktop Extensions) format for easy distribution and installation.

To build the DXT extension:

```bash
python build_dxt.py
```

This will create a `huoshui-fetch-{version}.dxt` file that can be installed in compatible AI desktop applications.

TDQS

A3.8/5.0

Scored across 11 tools

Disambiguation4/5

The fetch tools fetch_url and fetch_with_headers are highly similar, differing only in the ability to pass custom headers, which could lead to confusion about which to use. The extraction and conversion tools are all clearly distinct in their outputs, so mis-selection is unlikely for those.

Naming Consistency3/5

Naming conventions are mixed: fetch_url and fetch_with_headers lack the '_tool' suffix that appears on all other tools, and there is no uniform prefix pattern. However, the 'extract_' and 'html_to_' groups are internally consistent, making the set readable overall.

Tool Count5/5

With 11 tools, the server is well-scoped for a web fetching and processing utility. Each tool serves a distinct purpose in the pipeline, and the count is neither excessive nor too sparse for the stated functionality.

Completeness4/5

The tool surface covers the complete workflow of fetching, cleaning, converting, and extracting content from web pages. Minor gaps exist, such as the lack of cookie/session handling or CSS selector-based extraction, but these are not essential to the core purpose.
