ai.clawfetch/mcp MCP Server

The ai.clawfetch/mcp Model Context Protocol (MCP) server provides “web intelligence for AI agents,” focused on fetching, rendering, extracting, and researching web content. It is described as using x402 micropayments and requiring no API keys.

🛠️ Key Features

Fetch, render, extract, and research capabilities
x402 micropayments
No API keys

🚀 Use Cases

Supplying AI agents with extracted and researched web information
Rendering and extracting content during agent-driven web scraping workflows

⚡ Developer Benefits

No API-key management required
MCP-based integration for web intelligence tasks
Clear focus on web fetching, rendering, extraction, and research

⚠️ Limitations

Described payments mechanism is x402 micropayments (no additional constraints provided)

@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.

☁️ Hosted Mode (Recommended)

Connect directly to the hosted MCP server — no installation required:

Endpoint: https://mcp.clawfetch.ai/mcp

Claude Desktop

Add to claude_desktop_config.json:

json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "clawfetch": {
      "type": "url",
      "url": "https://mcp.clawfetch.ai/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Cursor / Windsurf

Add to your MCP configuration:

json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "clawfetch": {
      "url": "https://mcp.clawfetch.ai/mcp"
    }
  }
}

OpenClaw

yaml

mcp:
  servers:
    clawfetch:
      url: https://mcp.clawfetch.ai/mcp

Note: The hosted server handles x402 payments server-side. Tools that require payment (fetch, render, extract, research) will charge USDC on Base per call. Free tools (health_check, wallet_info, list_extractors) work without payment.

💻 Self-Hosted Mode

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

Install

bash

npm install -g @clawfetch/mcp

Configure (stdio — for local MCP clients)

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

json

{
  "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:

bash

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

Endpoint	Method	Description
`/mcp`	POST	Initialize session — returns `Mcp-Session-Id` header
`/mcp`	GET	SSE stream for server-to-client notifications (requires session ID)
`/mcp`	DELETE	Close a session
`/health`	GET	Server health check (JSON)

Session Flow

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

Tools

Tool	Description	Cost
`fetch_url`	Fetch any URL as clean markdown	$0.001
`render_page`	Render JS-heavy pages (SPAs, React apps)	$0.002
`extract_data`	Extract structured data from 17+ site types	$0.003
`research_topic`	Multi-source research with citations	$0.01
`check_domains`	Check domain name availability	$0.002
`suggest_domains`	Generate available domain suggestions	$0.002
`list_extractors`	List supported structured data extractors	$0.001
`health_check`	Check API health status	Free
`wallet_info`	Show payment wallet address	Free

Supported Extractors

GitHub repos/profiles, npm packages, PyPI packages, Twitter/X profiles, LinkedIn profiles/companies, YouTube videos/channels, Product Hunt, Hacker News, Reddit, Crunchbase, Wikipedia, and more.

Use list_extractors to see all available types with their schema.

Environment Variables

Variable	Required	Default	Description
`CLAWFETCH_PRIVATE_KEY`	Yes*	—	Ethereum private key (0x-prefixed) for x402 payments
