MCP.Pizza Chef: dondai1234

This free tool runs on your own computer and gives your AI assistant the power to open websites that normally block automated visitors, pull the real article text out of cluttered pages, and read PDFs — including scanned ones — by recognizing the text inside them. It also includes a built-in web search that works without any paid account. It connects to apps like Cursor, Claude Desktop, and other MCP-enabled tools, and installs through a simple command-line tool or Docker. No account is required to start, though you can add your own search keys later for extra results.

🎬 Demo

Same prompt, three tools. Hound does the whole thing on its own, search + fetch + crawl, locally. The others get stuck on the parts they don't do.

master-fetch FAQ

Can I use this to read a webpage that keeps blocking my browser?
Yes — it is built to get past those blocks and hand your assistant the actual page content, including sites protected by services like Cloudflare.
Can I use this to read a scanned PDF?
Yes — it can recognize text inside scanned or image-based PDFs, not just ones with regular selectable text.
Do I need an account or API key to use it?
No paid account or key is required to get started, and the built-in web search works without any keys. You can optionally add your own search service keys later if you want extra search results.
Which apps does this work with?
It works with any app that supports MCP, including Cursor and Claude Desktop, and has also been used with tools like Claude Code and OpenCode.
How hard is this to set up?
It takes more than a single click — you install it from the command line and, for the browser features, add one extra component. It can also be run in Docker if you prefer that route.
Is this free to use?
Yes — it runs on your own computer at no cost, with no per-request fees.
Will this work with Claude, ChatGPT, or Gemini?
Yes — since it speaks the standard MCP language, it works with any assistant that supports MCP, including Claude, and with MCP-compatible setups for other providers like ChatGPT and Gemini.
