clawfetch-mcp
by clawfetch
This is a Model Context Protocol server that lets AI assistants such as Claude Desktop or Cursor fetch web pages as markdown, extract structured data, research topics and look up company details. It pays for each request automatically in USDC on the Base network, so no API keys or billing accounts are needed.

What you can do with it
- Fetch any web page, or a JavaScript-heavy site, as clean markdown for an AI assistant to read
- Research a topic across several sources and get an answer with citations
- Look up a company from its domain to find its social profiles, emails and tech stack, or check whether domain names are available
Make money with it
A freelancer could offer research or lead-list building services, using the tool to collect company data and citations quickly for clients.
An idea, not financial advice. Check the licence before charging for anything built on it.
Ways a business could use it
- Automate lead research by pulling company profiles, contact emails and tech stacks from a list of domains
- Have an AI assistant gather competitor and market information from the web, which saves manual research time

Add it to Claude Code
claude mcp add mcp -- npx -y @clawfetch/mcp
It needs CLAWFETCH_PRIVATE_KEY (a secret key). A key usually means a paid or sign-up service behind it, so check its pricing.
From the official MCP Registry (ai.clawfetch/mcp). Only connect MCP servers you trust: they can act on your behalf.
Getting it running
Install it globally with npm, then add it to your MCP client's config along with an Ethereum private key for a wallet funded with USDC on Base.
Follow the official instructions in the project README.
Things to check
- Every paid call costs real money (about $0.001 to $0.02) in USDC on Base, so you need a funded crypto wallet
- Requires putting a wallet private key in your config, so use a dedicated wallet holding only a small balance
- The public hosted endpoint has been retired, and the service depends on the ClawFetch API staying online
- Very new project with no stars so far
- Scraping sites such as LinkedIn and Twitter/X may breach those sites' terms of service
