Nothing serious here today

Today is the operative word: we check Fetch Router every 15 minutes and re-read its code on every release. Watch it and you find out the day that stops being true.

Available tools 2

Read directly from the server with tools/list, grouped by what they act on. If a tool disappears, we record the date.

domain
domain_reliability
Pass rates per route (plain HTTP, browser, providers) for a domain over the last 30 days, from real verified fetches. Use it to choose mode/max_cost before fetching a hard site. Free, no key needed.
page
fetch_page
Fetch a public URL and get its content only if it really loaded. Checks for block pages, CAPTCHAs, login walls and empty JavaScript shells, and retries through other routes (including a headless browser) automatically. Billed only on success. Returns markdown by default. If ok is false, the reason says why (e.g. blocked:cloudflare, http_404, expect_text_missing): don't retry the same URL with the same settings.

Fetch Router — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Fetch Router do?
It exposes 2 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: domain_reliability, fetch_page. 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 Fetch Router working right now?
We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 92 of 92 checks got a reply (100.0%), average response time 308 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
How do I connect Fetch Router?
Copy the ready config from this page. We generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each in the form that client actually reads. It is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address.
Does Fetch Router need an API key?
No. Fetch Router completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 2 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.
How fast is Fetch Router?
It answers our handshake in 308 ms on average, which is faster than 45% of all working MCP servers we measure. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
How many people use Fetch Router?
The npm package fetchrouter-mcp was installed 410 times in the last week. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
Is Fetch Router open source?
The code is open source: it is published under the MIT licence, written in TypeScript and 0 stars on GitHub. The licence covers the code in the repository, not the hosted service at fetchrouter.dev, which runs on its operator's own terms.
