fetcher.cloud — the web capability layer for AI agents
One MCP server and API that gives an autonomous AI agent the public web. Render and screenshot pages, extract clean content, resolve links, parse feeds, and inspect domains, DNS, SSL, and WHOIS — 18 capabilities, paid per-call in USDC via x402, with a free daily tier.
Whenever an agent needs something from the internet, it uses fetcher.
Why it exists
LLMs are brilliant at reasoning and blind at retrieval. The moment real-world data needs a browser, a payment, or a login, an agent stalls. fetcher is the specialist capability layer it calls — a single interface for everything an agent can't do alone, billed the only way that works for software: per call, in stablecoins, with no account or API key.
How agents use it
- Discover —
GET /capabilitiesreturns every capability with category, pricing, examples, and schemas. Or connect the MCP server at/mcp. - Call — a normal
GETrequest. The first unpaid call past the free tier returns402 Payment Requiredwith machine-readable terms. - Pay — the agent's wallet pays a fraction of a cent in USDC on Base and retries. No human in the loop.
Works with Conway Automaton, Claude, OpenAI Agents, Google ADK, any MCP client, or any agent that can make an HTTP request.
