What fetcher does

The server can render pages and capture screenshots, extract page content, parse feeds and PDF text, resolve links, and inspect DNS, SSL, and WHOIS. Its catalog contains 18 capabilities, including render, extract, feed, domain, and qr.

Connect over HTTP as an MCP server, then let the agent discover available operations through the capability catalog. Calls beyond the free daily allowance are paid in USDC through x402 on Base. That means paid requests require an agent wallet; calls within the free allowance do not.

What it helps with

extract readable text from a web page
capture a page screenshot
pull text from a PDF
inspect a domain's DNS and SSL
look up WHOIS details for a domain

Example prompts for the agent

Take a screenshot of this page and show me the result.
