Grabber

MCP server

Give your agents the web with one MCP server

Add https://mcp.grabber.sh to your MCP client and your agent gets a fetch_page tool that reads any public page as clean Markdown, paid from the same prepaid credit as the API.

  • Remote: nothing to install
  • Claude, Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf
  • Same key and credit as the API

Set it up in a minute

Paste the config for your client and replace the key with your own.

  • Create an API key in the dashboard: dashboard.grabber.sh/keys
  • Add Grabber to your client with the config on the right
  • Restart the client and ask it to read a page

Tools

Two tools, so the agent always knows which one to call.

ToolWhat it doesArgumentsCost
fetch_pageLoads one public web page and returns its content, as Markdown unless you ask for another format.url (required): The http or https address to load.
format: markdown, html, text, links. Default markdown.
js_render: Run the page in a headless browser first. Default false.
max_chars: Cut the content after this many characters, at most 100,000.
$0.001, or $0.005 with js_render. Errors are free.
check_balanceReturns the credit left on the account of the key, in US dollars.NoneFree

What agents do with it

Code against current docs

Point Cursor or Claude Code at a library's docs and it writes code for the version you use, not the one in its training data.

Research with sources

Ask for a summary of a page, a comparison of several, or a check of a claim against the original text.

Read single-page apps

The agent can set js_render when a page is built by JavaScript, so dashboards and app pages come through.

Keep the context small

Markdown is a fraction of the size of the HTML, and max_chars caps every page at 100,000 characters or less.

Try these prompts

  • "Read https://example.com/pricing and put the plans in a table."
  • "Fetch the docs page for the library we use and update our code to its current API."
  • "Read these three articles and tell me where they disagree."
  • "How much Grabber credit do I have left?"

MCP questions

Something else? The docs cover every parameter and error, and you can reach us from the dashboard.

Do I need to install anything?

No. The server is remote, at mcp.grabber.sh. Clients that support remote servers connect to it directly. Claude Desktop connects through mcp-remote, a small bridge that npx runs for you.

What does the MCP server cost?

The same as the API, from the same prepaid credit: fetch_page costs $0.001 a page, or $0.005 with js_render. check_balance is free, and so is any request that fails.

Why is a page capped at 100,000 characters?

So one long page cannot fill the context window of your agent. Set max_chars lower to save more room. The price is the same whatever the cap.

Is my API key safe in the config file?

The key stays in a file on your computer and is only sent to mcp.grabber.sh, over HTTPS. Use a separate key for each client, so you can see its usage and delete it on its own.

Which clients work?

Any client that can connect to a remote MCP server over Streamable HTTP and send a header, such as Cursor, Claude Code, VS Code and Windsurf. Claude Desktop works through mcp-remote.
