About This MCP Server

A Model Context Protocol server that provides web content fetching capabilities using the Defuddle library. This server enables LLMs to retrieve and process content from web pages, automatically cleaning up the HTML and converting it to clean, readable markdown.

This is a drop-in replacement for the default fetch MCP server that uses Readability. This generally provides better results for most modern webpages.
