#ClaudeCopy page

First-party Claude Code plugin that adds a fetch MCP tool, /curl-md:fetch slash skill, and an opt-in WebFetch redirect hook.

#Quick Start

Add the marketplace and plugin, launch Claude Code, and start curling.

1. 1

   Add marketplace

   Add the curl.md plugin marketplace to Claude Code.

   $claude plugin marketplace add wevm/curl.md

2. 2

   Install plugin

   Install the curl-md plugin from the marketplace you just added:

   $claude plugin install curl-md@curl-md

   Tip

   If Claude is already running, use the /reload-plugins command.

3. 3

   Use Claude

   Now that Claude is running with the curl.md plugin, all you need to do is use Claude. To confirm everything is set up, try this out:

   Read the curl.md Claude plugin docs and summarize how it works.
   https://curl.md/docs/plugins/claude

   Claude will automatically use curl.md to turn URLs you paste, or URLs it decides to fetch on its own, into markdown.

   Tip

   Optionally, authenticate with curl.md auth login or CURLMD_API_KEY to unlock higher usage limits.

#Install

Claude installs plugins through marketplaces, and curl.md ships its marketplace manifest at .claude-plugin/marketplace.json in this repository.

From your terminal:

$claude plugin marketplace add wevm/curl.md$claude plugin install curl-md@curl-md

Or inside Claude:

/plugin marketplace add wevm/curl.md
/plugin install curl-md@curl-md
/reload-plugins

To update when a new version is available, refresh the marketplace, then reinstall the plugin:

$claude plugin marketplace update curl-md$claude plugin install curl-md@curl-md

Or inside Claude:

/plugin marketplace update curl-md
/plugin install curl-md@curl-md
/reload-plugins

$npm install --prefix ~/.claude/plugins/npm-cache @curl.md/claude@latest$claude plugin install curl-md@curl-md

#Configuration

Claude Code’s built-in web reader is WebFetch. Since Claude plugins cannot transparently replace built-in tool results, the curl.md plugin ships a redirect hook that blocks WebFetch and tells Claude to retry with curl.md fetch using the same URL.

{
  "pluginConfigs": {
    "curl-md@curl-md": {
      "options": {
        "webfetch_redirect": false
      }
    }
  }
}

#Usage

Ask for a page, paste links, or let Claude figure out what it needs to fetch.

#Prompting

Inside Claude, prompt like you normally would, for example:

Read the Cloudflare Agents docs and summarize the core concepts.
https://developers.cloudflare.com/agents

In this example, Claude will use curl.md to fetch the page and return markdown optimized for agents.

You can also tell Claude to use a specific objective, keywords, or let it decide what to use on its own (it’s really good at this).

#Authentication

The plugin uses the same auth model as the CLI. Log in to connect the plugin to your curl.md account or organization:

$curl.md auth login

For non-interactive environments, set CURLMD_API_KEY.

#Skills

After installing, Claude registers the following slash skill:

#Tools

The plugin also registers the following tool:

The fetch tool accepts the following inputs:

#Status/Debugging

You should see the fetch MCP tool and the /curl-md:fetch skill.
