Fitter MCP Server
Fitter turns any website or API into structured JSON - declaratively. One JSON/YAML config describes where the data lives (HTTP request, headless browser, file, static value) and what to extract (JSON paths, CSS selectors, XPath). No code, no brittle scraping scripts. Its 6 documented tools cover fitter, url, config.
People who need web scraping tools inside Claude, Cursor, VS Code, or another MCP client. The project is written in Go.

Security posture
What to check before giving this server access to your agent - from the registry, GitHub, and our own probes. We don't score safety; we show what's verifiable.
runs as container (OCI image) - can be sandboxed away from your filesystem · Claude Desktop extension (.mcpb bundle)

registry namespace io.github.PxyUp is GitHub-verified and matches the repo owner
03 · What Fitter can do
Prose above is summarized from the project's README and registry record - no invented capabilities.
What you can build
With this server connected, an agent can fetch a URL and return a compact structure outline + candidate selectors/paths (gjson paths for JSON, and validate a config without executing it (structure, response_type, connector data source, model). Useful while iterating on a config.
The 6 tools it gives your agent
Extracted from the project's README - what Fitter lets an agent do.
- fitter_run
- - Run a Fitter config passed inline (JSON or YAML string) and return the extracted data as JSON. Accepts an optional input value available in the config via {{{Fr
- fitter_run_file
- - Same as fitter_run but reads the config from a local .json/.yaml file
- fitter_run_url
- - Same as fitter_run but downloads the config from an HTTP(S) URL, e.g. a raw GitHub link
- fitter_inspect_url
- - Fetch a URL and return a compact structure outline + candidate selectors/paths (gjson paths for JSON; repeated-element/list-row selectors for HTML) so the model
- fitter_validate_config
- - Validate a config without executing it (structure, response_type, connector data source, model). Useful while iterating on a config
- fitter_config_reference
- - Return a condensed reference of the whole config format (connectors, parsers, model/field schema, placeholders, notifiers, references, limits) with working exam
