Intercept

Overview

Intercept is a Model Context Protocol server that gives AI assistants the ability to read and fetch URLs as clean markdown. It uses multi-tier fallback to handle various webpage formats and ensure reliable content extraction. By integrating with MCP, your AI can access web content as callable tools rather than requiring manual copy-paste workflows.

The server runs locally via the npm package intercept-mcp, which communicates over stdio. You can install it with npx -y intercept-mcp. The latest release is v3.0.8, distributed under the MIT license. The source code is maintained at bighippoman/intercept-mcp on GitHub, where the project has 10 stars. Authentication uses an API Key.

Intercept is categorized as AI & Agents on mcp.site and works with all MCP clients including Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf, and Zed. If you maintain this server, you're welcome to claim this listing to verify ownership and keep the information up to date.
