Frequently asked questions

What is the Fetch MCP server?

The Fetch MCP server is an Developer Tools Model Context Protocol server that lets Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, VS Code with Copilot, and other MCP-compatible AI agents hTTP fetch for web content retrieval. It exposes Fetch's capabilities as tools the AI can call directly from your editor or CLI.

How do I install Fetch MCP with Claude Code?

The fastest way is the MCPizy CLI: run `mcpizy install fetch` and MCPizy will add the server to your `.claude.json` automatically. You can also install it manually by adding an entry under `mcpServers` in `.claude.json` with the command `npx -y @modelcontextprotocol/server-fetch` and restarting Claude Code.

Is Fetch MCP free?

Yes. The Fetch MCP server is free and open source (see the GitHub repository linked on this page). You may still need a Fetch account or API key to connect the server to the underlying service, but the MCP layer itself has no MCPizy subscription cost.

Does Fetch MCP work with Cursor and Windsurf?

Yes. Any MCP-compatible client works — including Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Cursor (via `.cursor/mcp.json`), Windsurf, VS Code with Copilot Chat, and custom agents built on the MCP SDK. The same install command targets all of them; only the config file path differs.

What can I do with Fetch MCP?

Once installed, your AI agent can hTTP fetch for web content retrieval directly inside your conversation. Typical use cases include asking Claude Code or Cursor to run Fetch operations, inspect results, chain Fetch with other MCP servers (see our Workflow Recipes), and automate repetitive developer tools tasks without leaving your editor.
