Clawfetch MCP server

@clawfetch/mcp

MCP (Model Context Protocol) server for ClawFetch — Web Intelligence API for AI Agents.

Gives any MCP-compatible client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, OpenClaw, etc.) instant access to ClawFetch's web intelligence tools: fetch pages as markdown, render JS-heavy SPAs, extract structured data from 17+ site types, research topics multi-source, and check domain availability.

Payments are handled automatically via the x402 protocol — USDC on Base. No API keys, no billing dashboards.

Access and payment

The public hosted MCP endpoint is retired and returns HTTP 410 Gone. Run the MCP locally using the setup below, or call https://api.clawfetch.ai directly. Paid tool calls use your own USDC-funded wallet on Base; ClawFetch does not subsidize requests.

💻 Self-Hosted Mode

Run your own instance with full control over the payment wallet.

Install

npm install -g @clawfetch/mcp

Configure (stdio — for local MCP clients)

Add to your MCP client config (e.g., Claude Desktop):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "clawfetch": {
      "command": "clawfetch-mcp",
      "env": {
        "CLAWFETCH_PRIVATE_KEY": "0xYOUR_ETHEREUM_PRIVATE_KEY"
      }
    }
  }
}

The private key signs x402 micropayments (USDC on Base). Fund the corresponding address with USDC on Base mainnet.

Run as HTTP Server

Expose the MCP server over HTTP for remote clients:

CLAWFETCH_PRIVATE_KEY=0x... CLAWFETCH_TRANSPORT=http CLAWFETCH_PORT=3001 clawfetch-mcp

This starts a server at http://localhost:3001/mcp using the Streamable HTTP transport (MCP spec compliant).

HTTP Endpoints

Session Flow

1. Initialize: POST /mcp with JSON-RPC initialize request → get Mcp-Session-Id header
2. Call tools: POST /mcp with Mcp-Session-Id header + JSON-RPC tools/call request
3. Stream: GET /mcp?sessionId=... for SSE notifications (optional)
4. Close: DELETE /mcp with Mcp-Session-Id header
