    How to connect

    How to connect fetchgate to Claude

    2. Go to Settings → Connectors.
    3. Click Add custom connector.

    5. In a chat, click + → Connectors and switch the new connector on.

    Custom connectors are available on Free, Pro, Max, Team and Enterprise plans (Free is limited to one). On Team and Enterprise an organization Owner adds the connector first under Organization settings → Connectors.

    The server address to paste into ChatGPT settings:

    2. Turn on developer mode once: Settings → Apps → Advanced settings → Developer mode.

    4. Fill in the form: Name (anything), Description (one line about what the service does), MCP server URL (copy it below).

    Server tool list (6)

    Raw names from tools/list. Only developers need these.

    read_urlFetch a URL server-side and return its main content as clean Markdown, with scripts/styles/nav/ads/boilerplate stripped out. Wraps GET /v1/read. Free tier: 30 calls/day per caller; priced at $0.002/call via x402 once that's exhausted (see get_purchase_info for how the x402 flow works). Only http:// and https:// URLs are accepted; private/internal-network hosts are rejected.
    get_metadataFetch a URL server-side and return structured metadata: title, description, canonical URL, OpenGraph/Twitter card fields, favicon URL, language, and published/modified timestamps when present. Wraps GET /v1/meta. Same free tier as read_url; priced at $0.001/call via x402 once exhausted.
    list_productsList Fetchgate's digital-goods catalog: id, name, description, priceUsd, currency, file format, size, sha256, and a walletless humanUrl checkout link for each product for sale. Wraps GET /v1/products. Free, no rate limit, no payment required just to browse.
    get_purchase_infoLook up a product by id (from list_products) and explain exactly how to buy it: its price, and the x402 purchase flow step by step (the 402 challenge shape, the PAYMENT-SIGNATURE header, and the signed download URL you get back on success). Does not take payment itself — informational only, mirroring the pre-payment leg of GET /v1/buy/:id.
    get_agent_censusReturn the Agent Web Crawler Census: every named bot observed crawling a live, publicly-listed x402 + MCP endpoint over a 24-hour window, each with a case-insensitive regex `matcher` and a behavioural `category` (liveness-monitor, directory-crawler, price-scraper, security-research, ai-training, ...) so you can classify your own access log. Observed first-hand, not aggregated from third-party bot lists. Notable finding: of the named agent-web crawlers in the census, zero have ever presented a payment, and several declare that in their own User-Agent string. Wraps GET /v1/agent-census.json. Free, unmetered, no payment required. CC BY 4.0.
    scan_mcp_serverConnect to a remote Streamable HTTP MCP server, fetch its tools/list (sends only initialize, notifications/initialized and tools/list — never tools/call) and scan every tool name, description, parameter description and the server's initialize `instructions` string for tool-poisoning patterns: hidden-instruction markers, invisible Unicode, directives aimed at the model, credential/secret references, exfiltration shapes and instructions about other tools. Returns per-tool findings with severity, excerpt and a score band. Use it before installing or trusting a third-party server. Heuristic: a clean result means nothing obvious in what the server declares about itself, not that it is safe. Wraps GET /v1/mcp-scan. Free, rate-limited per caller; private/internal-network hosts are rejected.
