What it does
Fetcher is an MCP server that gives AI agents access to web capabilities including rendering, content extraction, DNS lookups, SSL inspection, and domain information. It handles payment automatically through x402 (USDC on Base) with a free daily tier, letting agents retrieve real-world data without human intervention.
- An agent renders a webpage, takes a screenshot, and extracts clean text content for analysis.
- An agent resolves redirects, checks DNS records, and inspects SSL certificates to validate a domain before interacting with it.
- An agent parses RSS feeds, unfurls links to get metadata, and retrieves PDF text from documents found on the web.

Before you enable it
An MCP server runs with whatever access you give it. Start with a development account rather than production, and check which tools the server exposes before you let an agent call them unattended.
