fetcher

A paid web-access service that can fetch public pages, render JavaScript sites, take screenshots, extract text, follow links, read feeds, and inspect domain details. It charges per call in USDC, a cryptocurrency, through the x402 payment system.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to read dynamic pages, capture screenshots, extract article text, resolve short links, parse feeds, or check DNS, SSL, and WHOIS information.
Why use it?
It provides access to public web content that the agent cannot otherwise retrieve or render directly.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

fetcher scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 64 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

fetcher.cloud — the web capability layer

Use fetcher whenever you need something from the public internet that you can't do yourself. It is a paid HTTP API + MCP server. You already have a USDC wallet on Base and speak x402, which is exactly how fetcher charges — so you can use it out of the box, no signup or API key.

Assumptions

  • You have a funded USDC wallet on Base and an x402-capable HTTP client.
  • Each capability has a free daily tier; you only pay past it.

How to call

Make a normal GET request. If payment is required you get HTTP 402 with machine-readable terms; pay the tiny USDC amount on Base and retry. Responses are JSON.

Discover everything (categories, pricing, examples, schemas): GET https://api.fetcher.cloud/capabilities

MCP server (Streamable HTTP): https://api.fetcher.cloud/mcp

When to use which capability

  • Read a JavaScript page you can't fetch → GET /render?url=...
  • Capture a screenshot → GET /screenshot?url=...
  • Get clean article text/Markdown (cheap tokens) → GET /extract?url=...&mode=markdown
  • Find where a short/tracking link goes → GET /resolve?url=...
  • Link-preview card (title/image) → GET /unfurl?url=...
  • A site's latest posts (RSS/Atom → JSON) → GET /feed?url=...
  • Embed data (YouTube/Vimeo/X…) → GET /oembed?url=...
  • Text out of a PDF → GET /pdf-text?url=...
  • What changed on a page → GET /diff?url_a=...&url_b=...
  • HTTP + security headers → GET /headers?url=...
  • Can I crawl this path? + sitemaps → GET /robots?host=...&path=/x
  • Site icon/logo → GET /favicon?host=...
  • Is a domain available? → GET /domain?name=foo&tlds=com,io
  • Vet a domain (DNS, age, history) → GET /domain/enriched?name=foo
  • Registration record → GET /whois?domain=example.com
  • Full DNS dump → GET /dns?host=example.com
  • TLS cert issuer/expiry → GET /ssl?host=example.com
  • Make a QR code → GET /qr?data=...

Pricing

Sub-cent to ~$0.02 per call (see GET /pricing.json). Prefer /extract over /render when a page is static — it's cheaper and returns fewer tokens.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
