I searched for this mcp server just to see what it was, and afaict Claude Code has all of these features built in already. What is the additional functionality? | |||||||||||||||||||||||

Claude has web search as a tool built in but I'm not sure why it's kinda slow? You can get the brave web search MCP with a free tier API key and it's super fast, combine that with the fetch MCP and it grabs information online really quickly. | |||||||||||||||||||||||

You may be right, I'm fairly new to Claude Code. CC itself summarized the difference this way: "Use MCP Fetch [the tool I refernced] when you need complete content or images, use WebFetch [CC's built in tool] when you want AI to extract specific information from a page." | |||||||||||||||||||||||
