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."

I added a MCP LSP a while back and as far as i can tell, CC doesn't even use it. Is there a trick to getting CC to actually.. use the MCP? I've not explicitly asked it to use the MCP, but it's an LSP (Rust Analyzer specifically) so it feels like the LLM should just use that in place of greping so much.

Are they all very explicit requests? I was hoping plugging an MCP into it would just make it more capable automatically

		I was just wonering this myself, and the Context7 recommendation led me to these examples on its repo: - Create a basic Next.js project with app router. use context7 - Create a script to delete the rows where the city is "" given PostgreSQL credentials. use context7 I feel like that Claude Code has independently invoked MCP Fetch a couple of times in the course of hundreds of interactions, but yes — it looks like specifically invoking them is the norm, at least until LLMs get better at matching tools to requests.

Ah- I missed it extracts images from the pages. I don't think Claude does this. But you can fetch pages and give it images (separately).
