git clone https://github.com/zcaceres/fetch-mcp.git cd fetch-mcp
3. Install dependencies
npm install # or: pnpm install | yarn install
4. Build the TypeScript sources (optional, if you want transpiled JS)
npm run build # runs tsc or the configured build script
5. Start the development server
npm run dev # commonly invokes ts-node-dev / nodemon
or start the compiled bundle:
node dist/index.js # adjust path to compiled entry file
6. Configuration (typical env vars)
Create a `.env` file or export the variables in your shell:
MCP_PORT=8080 # Port the server should bind to MCP_ALLOWED_ORIGINS=* # CORS / security settings MCP_LOG_LEVEL=info # debug | info | warn | error
Then run the server again so it picks up the variables.
7. Docker (optional)
