The description, rendered

This renders the markdown inside the description, so it isn’t quite the description itself.

The raw view and the plain text are the bytes as they were sent.

Fetches a URL, converts the page to markdown, and answers prompt against it using a small fast model.

  • Fails on authenticated/private URLs — use an authenticated MCP tool or gh for those instead.
  • Fails on localhost and other hostnames without a dot; for a local server, use curl via Bash.
  • HTTP is upgraded to HTTPS. Cross-host redirects are returned to you rather than followed; call again with the redirect URL.
  • Responses are cached for 15 minutes per URL.
