First: which AI do you use?

Pick your app and the steps appear below.

Works with Claude, with some setup first

You need a Agentfetch key (create it on the maker’s site) · Install Python (uv) on your computer first (one time) · Only the Claude desktop app (Windows or Mac), not the web or phone

  1. Install Python (uv)

    One time only; it works for every server that needs Python (uv)

    Open the Python (uv) download page ↗

  2. Sign up and create a Agentfetch key

    Open the maker’s site, sign up and create an API key for the next step. Check the maker’s site for pricing and free plans.

    How to get a key is in the maker’s README below

  3. Open the Claude desktop app’s settings file

Common questions

Is Agentfetch safe?

It passed 3 of 3 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.

What keys or codes does it need?

You need to fill in: JINA_API_KEY

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

It runs on your computer. Your AI app starts it when needed, and data does not pass through the maker’s servers (unless it calls an online service itself).

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed 5 months ago, and the latest version (1.0.1) reached the registry 7 months ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. You also need Python (uv) on your computer.

What can I use instead?

agentfetch-mcp

Web intelligence for AI agents — an MCP server that fetches URLs with token estimation, smart caching, and intelligent routing built in.

AgentFetch sits between your agent and the open web. Instead of integrating Jina, FireCrawl, pypdf, and your own caching layer separately, agents call one MCP tool and AgentFetch handles routing, caching, token budgeting, and clean Markdown extraction automatically.

This repository contains the open-source MCP server. For the hosted API + dashboard + billing, see www.agentfetch.dev.

What it does

ToolWhat it's for
fetch_urlFetch a URL → clean Markdown + metadata + token count + cache info
estimate_tokensGet a token count *before* fetching, so agents don't blow context windows on huge pages
fetch_multipleFetch up to 20 URLs concurrently
search_and_fetchWeb search + fetch top N results in one round-trip

Under the hood, AgentFetch routes URLs to the cheapest effective fetcher:

  • Trafilatura (free, local) for ~70% of standard web pages
  • Jina Reader for the rest of HTML
  • FireCrawl for JS-heavy pages (Twitter/X, LinkedIn, Notion, etc.)
  • pypdf for PDFs (zero external cost)

Cache is Redis with a 6-hour TTL; you can bring your own or run without caching.

Quick start

Install from PyPI
pip install agentfetch-mcp
Or clone and install locally
git clone https://github.com/bch1212/agentfetch-mcp

cd agentfetch-mcp pip install -e .

Set environment variables

Get a free Jina Reader key at jina.ai (1M tokens/mo free tier). FireCrawl is optional but recommended for JS-heavy pages.

export JINA_API_KEY=jina_xxx

export FIRECRAWL_API_KEY=fc-xxx # optional export REDIS_URL=redis://localhost:6379 # optional

Add to Claude Desktop or Claude Code

Edit your MCP config (~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json on macOS, or run claude mcp add in Claude Code):

{

"mcpServers": { "agentfetch": { "command": "python", "args": ["-m", "agentfetch.mcp.server"], "env": { "JINA_API_KEY": "jina_xxx", "FIRECRAWL_API_KEY": "fc-xxx" } } } }

Restart Claude. The four tools (fetch_url, estimate_tokens, fetch_multiple, search_and_fetch) appear automatically.

Run as a standalone server
python -m agentfetch.mcp.server

The server speaks MCP over stdio (the standard transport for desktop integrations).

Examples

Fetching with a token budget
# Inside any MCP-aware agent (Claude Desktop, Claude Code, etc.)

result = fetch_url( url="https://news.ycombinator.com", max_tokens=2000, # cap response size use_cache=True, # serve from cache if <6h old )

result.markdown → clean Markdown, ≤2000 tokens

result.metadata → title, author, word_count, language

result.cache.hit → True if served from cache

result.fetch_info → which fetcher ran, cost, duration

Estimating before committing
estimate = estimate_tokens(url="https://very-long-article.com")

if estimate.estimated_tokens and estimate.estimated_tokens < 5000: result = fetch_url(url="https://very-long-article.com") else:

too big — skip or summarize via search_and_fetch with max_tokens_each

pass

Parallel fetching
results = fetch_multiple(

urls=["https://docs.python.org/3/", "https://fastapi.tiangolo.com/", ...], max_tokens_each=1500, )

Configuration

Env varRequiredDefaultNotes
JINA_API_KEYRecommended—Free tier covers ~1M tokens/mo. Without it, only Trafilatura works (still useful for ~70% of pages).
FIRECRAWL_API_KEYOptional—Needed for JS-heavy domains (Twitter, LinkedIn, Notion). 500 free credits on signup.
REDIS_URLOptional—Without Redis, fetches run uncached.
CACHE_TTL_SECONDSOptional21600 (6h)Cache TTL for fetch results.

Development

git clone https://github.com/bch1212/agentfetch-mcp

cd agentfetch-mcp pip install -e ".[dev]" pytest tests/

Hosted version

If you'd rather not manage your own keys, Redis, or the routing yourself, the hosted version at www.agentfetch.dev gives you:

  • Pay-per-call pricing from $0.001/fetch
  • 500 free fetches on signup, no credit card
  • Managed Redis cache, automatic failover between fetchers
  • Dashboard with usage tracking + invoices

The hosted API is a drop-in REST equivalent — same response shapes, same routing logic. You can run the OSS MCP locally and the hosted API in parallel, or migrate between them at any time.

License

MIT — see LICENSE.

The MCP server in this repo is open source. The hosted product, billing, and ops infrastructure live in a separate (private) repo.

Contributing

PRs welcome. If you're adding a new fetcher (e.g., Bright Data, ScrapingBee, etc.), please match the FetchResult interface in agentfetch/core/fetchers/__init__.py and add the cost to the routing logic.
