Fetch V2 MCP Server

FetchV2 is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that retrieves web pages and returns clean Markdown. Its 3 documented tools cluster into read & search, discover. It runs locally over stdio via the published package.

People who work with content extraction, markdown and web fetching and want it reachable from Claude, Cursor, VS Code, or another MCP client. The project is written in Python.

01 · Install Fetch V2

Claude Code

claude mcp add praveenc-fetchv2-mcp-server -- uvx fetchv2-mcp-server

Claude Desktop / Cursor / VS Code - add to config

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "praveenc-fetchv2-mcp-server": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": [
        "fetchv2-mcp-server"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Same JSON for Cursor. For VS Code, rename the top-level key from `mcpServers` to `servers`.

Using another client? Same JSON, different key
