webfetch tools (7)

write = sends, deletes, buys or posts

Read from the package source without running it. The installed server may list more.

  • download_image

    Download an image URL (typically from a prior search_images result) to the local disk cache. Streams with a 20MB hard cap, content-type guard, SHA-256 hash, and returns the cached file path. Host blocklist enforced.

  • fetch_with_license

    Given an arbitrary URL (image or webpage), determine its license via host heuristics + page metadata (<link rel=license>, dc.rights, og tags). Set probe: true to also download the bytes. Use when an agent already has a URL and needs a go/no-go decision before shipping.

  • find_similar

    Reverse-image-search: given a public image URL, find visually similar images. Requires SERPAPI_KEY env var and providers: ['serpapi']. Returns candidates with heuristic licenses — treat results as leads, not shippable.

  • probe_page

    Given a webpage URL, return every <img> on the page with inferred dimensions and a heuristic license per image. Respects robots.txt by default. Use to triage a candidate source page before picking.

  • search_album_cover

    Find canonical album artwork. Uses MusicBrainz Cover Art Archive + iTunes + Spotify. Results are EDITORIAL_LICENSED — safe for album identification UI per platform ToS; always show attribution.

  • search_artist_images

    Specialized image search for a musical artist. `kind` selects provider set + query expansion: 'portrait' (Wikimedia + Unsplash + Spotify), 'album' (MusicBrainz CAA + iTunes + Spotify), 'logo' (Wikimedia), 'performing' (Wikimedia + Pexels). Prefer this over `search_images` when building artist/band content.

  • search_images

    Federated image search across license-aware providers (Wikimedia Commons, Openverse, Unsplash, Pexels, Pixabay, iTunes, MusicBrainz CAA, Spotify, Brave). Returns concise ranked candidates with license + attribution. Does NOT auto-download — call `download_image` after. Default safe-only policy includes open, platform-license, editorial/press tags and rejects UNKNOWN. Use open-only for CC/public-do

Install webfetch in Claude Code, Cursor or VS Code

Runs npx -y getwebfetch-mcp on your machine. Read the scan report first; the gateway never runs local packages.

claude mcp add webfetch -- npx -y getwebfetch-mcp
Add to Cursor

What the publisher says

From the webfetch repository's README, as published. We do not edit it. Read it on GitHub

webfetch

The license-first image layer for AI agents and humans.

One MCP server, one CLI, and one HTTP server that federate across 25 image providers, rank results license-first, and reject UNKNOWN results by default. Any agent that speaks MCP (Claude Code, Cursor, Cline, Continue, Roo Code, Codex) wires up from one config line. Landing page, pricing, and hosted usage live at getwebfetch.com.

Install

The curl | bash installer also wires webfetch into Claude Code's ~/.claude/settings.json idempotently. Re-run any time to update.

Surfaces

Package-level API notes live in packages/core/README.md, packages/browser/README.md, and the other package READMEs under packages/.

30-second usage

CLI:

webfetch search "drake portrait" --limit 5
webfetch artist "Taylor Swift" --kind portrait --min-width 1200
webfetch download <url> --out ./portrait.jpg
printf "drake portrait\nradiohead album\n" | webfetch batch --jsonl --continue-on-error

MCP (from inside any MCP-speaking agent):

search_images({ query: "drake portrait", limit: 5 })
search_artist_images({ artist: "Taylor Swift", kind: "portrait" })
download_image({ url: "..." })

TypeScript library:

import { searchArtistImages, pickBest, downloadImage } from "webfetch-core";

const { candidates } = await searchArtistImages("Drake", "portrait");
const best = pickBest(candidates, { minWidth: 1200 });
if (best) {
  const { cachedPath, sha256 } = await downloadImage(best.url);
  console.log(best.attributionLine, "->", cachedPath);
}

What problem this solves

Manually sourcing an image has four failure modes:

  1. You don't know the license, so you can't safely ship the result.
  2. You can't script it — every new site means another afternoon.
  3. Google's Image Search API is retired; scraping is brittle and ToS-grey.
  4. No shared cache — you re-download the same file dozens of times.

webfetch fixes all four by federating across direct-source APIs that have stable terms and structured license metadata, ranking candidates license-first, and exposing the result as a single MCP tool.
