Capabilities

What this server is able to do. For an MCP server this is often the job itself — a terminal server runs commands because that is what it is for. Listed so you know what you are plugging in, not as an accusation.

Runs an external command bin/fetch-mcp.mjs:235, [пакет] bin/fetch-mcp.mjs:235

    const out = execFileSync(cmd, ["--version"], {

This code can reach further than it looks

We found places where it runs commands, builds paths or queries from values it is given. None of that is a flaw by itself — it becomes one when the code changes, and code changes quietly between releases. We re-read it on every one.

Fetch MCP Server — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for Fetch MCP Server?

Fetch MCP Server runs on your own machine over stdio — there is no network address to reach, so uptime cannot be measured for it by anyone. What can be measured is adoption: the npm package @yawlabs/fetch-mcp was installed 1 744 times last week.

How do I connect Fetch MCP Server?

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 runs locally, so the command pulls @yawlabs/fetch-mcp straight from npm; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.

How many people use Fetch MCP Server?

The npm package @yawlabs/fetch-mcp was installed 1 744 times in the last week. Week over week that is +2436%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.

Is Fetch MCP Server open source?

Yes — it is published under the MIT licence, written in TypeScript, 2 stars on GitHub and 1 open issue. The source link is on this page, so you can read exactly what it does with your data before you connect it.
