Claude Code Web Fetch fetch_url

How to: Claude Code Web Fetch fetch_url

client:Claude Code transport:streamable-http tool:fetch_url

Add Web Fetch to Claude Code

  1. 01

    Run this in your project directory.

claude mcp add --transport http web-fetch https://gateway.pipeworx.io/web-fetch/mcp
  1. 02

    Restart your session so the server is picked up.

  2. 03

    Ask for something fetch_url does. Claude Code lists the server's tools on connect and calls fetch_url itself — you do not invoke it by name.

  3. 04

    If nothing happens, check the server is running and that Web Fetch's identifier in your config matches the one above exactly.

Adds it for this project only. Append --scope user to make it available everywhere. Claude Code docs

Set these first

Web Fetch will not start until these are set, so fetch_url never becomes available.

Same tool, other clients

This list was read from the server itself, by connecting to it and calling tools/list on 14 November 2026. It is what the server actually exposes, not what its listing claims.

Mutating and Read-only are read off each tool's name, not its schema — a hint, not a guarantee. The registry stores tool names only; connect the server for its live schemas.
