Questions it answers
Page Fetch reads one public web page and returns its main content as clean Markdown, with the page title, description, language, canonical address and a list of the links in the content.
It keeps headings, paragraphs, lists, quotes, code blocks, tables, emphasis and links, with every link made absolute. Menus, headers, footers, side columns, scripts, cookie banners and hidden text are left out, so an agent reads the page and not the site around it.
robots.txt is read before every page, and a page it disallows for PageFetch or for all crawlers is not read; the answer says why. Each site is read at most once a second (more when its robots.txt asks), at most 300 times a day, and a page read in the last 60 minutes is answered from the stored copy with no new request. The reader names itself as PageFetch/1.0 (+https://tools.openkrill.app/; support@openkrill.app).
It reads only public pages. It does not sign in, pass a paywall, solve a CAPTCHA or run page scripts, so a page built only by script comes back short with a note. PDFs and images are refused.
Each page's Markdown is kept for 60 minutes so a repeat call does not reach the site again, then deleted. Nothing about the caller is stored.
What it can do
- Turns one public web page into clean Markdown with absolute links
- Keeps headings, lists, quotes, code blocks and tables; drops menus, footers and banners
- Returns up to 100 distinct links from the main content, marked internal or external
- Checks robots.txt before every page and says why a page was not read
- Returns the title, description, language and canonical address of the page
Tools
fetch_page, Fetch a web page as Markdown. Read one public web page and return its main content as clean Markdown: headings, paragraphs, lists, quotes, code blocks, tables and absolute links, without menus, footers, scripts or cookie banners. Also returns the title, description, language, canonical address and up to 100 links from the content. robots.txt is checked first and a disallowed page is skipped with the reason. It never signs in, passes a paywall, solves a CAPTCHA or runs page scripts. Pass max_chars for more than 20000 characters.
Add Page Fetch in Cursor
Cursor reads MCP servers from mcp.json. A project file at .cursor/mcp.json applies to that project. A user file at ~/.cursor/mcp.json applies everywhere. These steps were checked against the Cursor MCP docs on 2026-10-01. Streamable HTTP is the transport: a url, not a shell command.
Create or edit the file so it contains this server. Merge it with servers you already have. Do not replace the whole file if other servers are listed.
{
"mcpServers": {
"page-fetch": {
"url": "https://pagefetch.openkrill.app/mcp"
}
}
}No headers and no auth block. Those are for servers that require a token or a pre-registered OAuth client. Page Fetch answers without either. Saving the file is the install. Open Cursor Settings, then MCP, and confirm Page Fetch is enabled. If it stays disconnected, reload the window. You should see fetch_page.
In Agent chat, ask: Read https://example.com as Markdown. Cursor calls the tool over streamable HTTP and shows the arguments before it runs them, depending on your run mode. Approve the call the first time and read the result. The server is public and read-only. It does not see your repository unless the model puts repository text into the arguments, so do not paste secrets into the question.
A one-click Marketplace install does not exist for this server. The JSON above is the whole setup. Team admins can distribute the same url through a team marketplace, but that is an admin step, not something this page can do for you. OAuth redirect URLs in the Cursor docs matter only for servers that require sign-in. Skip them here.
If it does not work
The tool does not show up
Open Cursor Settings, then MCP, and check the server is enabled. If it stays disconnected, reload the window. Check that the entry sits under mcpServers and has a url, not a command.
429 or rate_limited
Each server takes 60 calls a minute from one network, and some tools take fewer. Past that the call comes back as a tool error that starts with rate_limited: wait a minute and ask again. daily_limit means the server reached its shared daily cap, which resets at 00:00 UTC. A limit is not an answer, so do not read it as no results. For higher limits, ask support@openkrill.app for a key.
A call checked on 2026-10-11
RFC 9309 is the robots.txt standard, a public page whose text does not change, so the Markdown can be checked against it. The request below was posted to https://pagefetch.openkrill.app/mcp as tools/call. HTTP 200. Source: the Page Fetch server, read 2026-10-11.
{
"method": "tools/call",
"params": {

Repeat the call yourself if you need a newer reading. Cached answers expire. A rate limit is not a result: wait and try again. Nothing in the call is a ranking, a filing, or advice.
Using it in production
Nothing to install and nothing to run: no package, no Python or Node.js version and no environment variable. Page Fetch runs on our servers, and your client only needs the URL https://pagefetch.openkrill.app/mcp.
| Rate limit | 60 tool calls a minute from one network. initialize and tools/list do not count. |
|---|---|
| Daily cap | 5000 tool calls a day per server, shared by every caller. It resets at 00:00 UTC. |
| At a limit | The call comes back as a tool error that starts with rate_limited (wait a minute) or daily_limit (try after 00:00 UTC), never as a partial answer. |
| Key | None. Do not add an Authorization header or a key field. |
| Higher limits | Email support@openkrill.app with the server name, the calls a day you expect and what they are for. We answer within 1 business day. |
| Freshness | Some answers come from a short cache. Each guide shows the date of its checked call; repeat a call when you need a newer reading. |
| Uptime | Scheduled test calls check the servers through the same endpoint. There is no SLA yet. |
| Data | What each server receives and keeps is on the privacy page. |

Frequently asked questions
How do I install the Page Fetch MCP server in Cursor?
Add page-fetch with the url https://pagefetch.openkrill.app/mcp under mcpServers in .cursor/mcp.json or ~/.cursor/mcp.json and save the file. Then confirm it is enabled in Cursor Settings, then MCP.
Do I need an API key to run Page Fetch in Cursor?
No. This server takes no API key. For higher limits, email support@openkrill.app with the server name (Page Fetch), the calls a day you expect and what they are for. We answer within 1 business day.
What should I do if Page Fetch does not connect in Cursor?
Check that the entry has a url and no command, headers or auth block, then reload the Cursor window and look in Cursor Settings, then MCP.
