Overview
Fetching and processing web page content (HTML to Markdown) using a headless browser for AI-driven applications.
Installation
fetcher-mcpSecurity Notes
The Playwright browser context is configured to `ignoreHTTPSErrors: true` by default, which bypasses SSL/TLS certificate validation. This can expose the client to Man-in-the-Middle (MITM) attacks when fetching content from untrusted networks or malicious sites. While potentially useful in specific debugging or problematic scenarios, it reduces the overall security posture for web fetching. The tool otherwise appears to be safe from direct malicious intent, and `disableMedia` is true by default, reducing some attack surface.
