Pulse Fetch MCP Server

This is an MCP (Model Context Protocol) Server that pulls specific resources from the open internet into context, designed for agent-building frameworks and MCP clients that lack built-in fetch capabilities.

People who work with Firecrawl and Brightdata and want it reachable from Claude, Cursor, VS Code, or another MCP client. The project is written in TypeScript.

One of 28 MCP servers published from pulsemcp/mcp-servers. Stars and repository activity are shared across all of them. See all 28 →

01 · Install Pulse Fetch

before you install - you'll need

Set FIRECRAWL_API_KEY, BRIGHTDATA_API_KEY, STRATEGY_CONFIG_PATH, MCP_RESOURCE_STORAGE, MCP_RESOURCE_FILESYSTEM_ROOT before connecting. OPTIMIZE_FOR is optional or environment-specific per the README.

Claude Code

claude mcp add pulsemcp-mcp-servers-productionized-puls -- npx -y @pulsemcp/pulse-fetch

Claude Desktop / Cursor / VS Code - add to config

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "pulsemcp-mcp-servers-productionized-puls": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@pulsemcp/pulse-fetch"
      ]
    }
  }
}

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

Using another client? Same JSON, different key

06 · Pulse Fetch FAQ

What is Pulse Fetch?

Is Pulse Fetch still maintained?

Yes - as of 2026-09-30, its last commit was 2026-08-30. We re-verify nightly.

How do I install Pulse Fetch?

Run `npx -y @pulsemcp/pulse-fetch`. The README documents 6 environment variables (FIRECRAWL_API_KEY, BRIGHTDATA_API_KEY, STRATEGY_CONFIG_PATH…) to set first. Set FIRECRAWL_API_KEY, BRIGHTDATA_API_KEY, STRATEGY_CONFIG_PATH, MCP_RESOURCE_STORAGE, MCP_RESOURCE_FILESYSTEM_ROOT before connecting. OPTIMIZE_FOR is optional or environment-specific per the README. You can also paste the ready-made client config above.

Does Pulse Fetch run locally?

Yes - it's a stdio server: it runs on your machine (via npx) with your user's permissions. Your data stays local unless the server itself calls external APIs.
