paimon-mcp-fetch
Give your AI assistant the ability to read any webpage.
A lightweight MCP server that fetches URLs and returns clean, readable markdown. Built with Go — starts in 5ms, uses ~10MB RAM, zero runtime dependencies.
What It Does
You give it a URL → it returns clean markdown.
Good for:
- Reading articles, blog posts, documentation
- Extracting data from news sites, forums, schedules
- Summarizing web content for your AI assistant
- Getting structured output (headings, lists, tables, code blocks preserved)
Not good for:
- Scraping login-protected pages
- Bypassing paywalls
- Replacing a full browser automation tool

Why This Over Other Fetch Tools?
Configuration
Everything is controlled via environment variables. You probably don't need to change anything — defaults work well for most use cases.
Optional Features
Image Processing
Extract and process images from webpages:
go build -tags image -o paimon-mcp-fetch ./cmd/paimon-mcp-fetch/JS Rendering
For JavaScript-heavy sites (SPAs, dynamic content):
go build -tags jsrender -o paimon-mcp-fetch ./cmd/paimon-mcp-fetch/
PAIMON_MCP_FETCH_JS_RENDER_ENABLED=true ./paimon-mcp-fetchNote: Requires Chrome or Chromium installed. Slower (~3-5s/page) but handles sites that static fetch can't.
Supported AI Assistants
Works with any MCP-compatible client. Add the configuration below to your client's config file.
