This one needs environment variables set before it will start: CLAWFETCH_PRIVATE_KEY (EVM private key for a Base wallet holding USDC (pays x402 micropayments gaslessly)). The author declared them in the registry entry; get the values from the project itself.

Clawfetch — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Clawfetch do?
It exposes 10 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: check_domains, extract_data, fetch_url, health_check, list_extractors, parse_document and 4 more. The full list with descriptions is on this page — we take it from the server itself via tools/list, not from a README. How MCP servers expose tools in the first place →
Is Clawfetch working right now?
We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 0 of 91 checks got a reply (0.0%), average response time 164 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
The registry lists Clawfetch as active — why does it not respond?
The official MCP registry stores what the author submitted; it does not verify that the server still runs. We check the endpoint ourselves, and this one does not answer. Catalogues that copy the registry without checking will show it as working.
How do I connect Clawfetch?
Copy the ready config from this page — we generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each with the file path that client actually reads. It is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address.
Does Clawfetch need an API key?
No. Clawfetch completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 10 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.
How many people use Clawfetch?
The npm package @clawfetch/mcp was installed 49 times in the last week. Week over week that is +18%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
Is Clawfetch open source?
Yes — it is published under the MIT licence, written in TypeScript, 0 stars on GitHub and 3 open issues. The source link is on this page, so you can read exactly what it does with your data before you connect it.
