Use Case Example
A developer wants their AI assistant to analyze the latest documentation from a project website. They use the Fetch MCP to automatically retrieve the web pages, convert them to clean markdown, and then ask the AI to summarize key changes or extract specific information. This eliminates the need to manually copy-paste content and ensures the AI gets properly formatted text for analysis.
