Nothing serious here today

Today is the operative word: we check Hydrafetch 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 9

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

brand

brand

A company's brand from its domain: logos for light and dark backgrounds, its real colours, name, description and socials. Answers 'what is this company' far better than a raw page dump.

extract

extract

Pull typed structured data from one or more URLs by JSON schema or prompt.

images

images

Harvest a page's images with their metadata, without rendering it. Cheaper than a screenshot and returns the source images rather than a picture of the page.

logo

logo

A company's logo as a directly embeddable image URL, chosen for the background you name. Use this rather than brand when the mark is all you need — it costs a fifth as much and returns one asset instead of the whole record.

map

map

Enumerate a site's URLs from its sitemap and links, without scraping them.

scrape

scrape

Turn a URL into clean, LLM-ready markdown and structured data.

screenshot

screenshot

Render a page in a real browser and capture a PNG, returning its public URL. Use when the question is what the page looks like rather than what it says.

search

Search the web and return ranked results: title, url and snippet. Set scrapeResults to also fetch each result as markdown, at 1 extra credit per page.

styleguide

styleguide

A site's design system read from computed styles in a real browser: colours by role with contrast ratios, the type scale, corner radius and button styling. Values defined through CSS variables come back resolved to the hex actually painted.

Hydrafetch — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Hydrafetch do?

It exposes 9 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: brand, extract, images, logo, map, scrape and 3 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 Hydrafetch 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 171 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.

How do I connect Hydrafetch?

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 Hydrafetch need an API key?

No. Hydrafetch completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 9 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.

How fast is Hydrafetch?

It answers our handshake in 171 ms on average, which is faster than 77% of all working MCP servers we measure. That puts it in the quick quarter of the ecosystem. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
