mcp-rquest
   
A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides advanced HTTP request capabilities for Claude and other LLMs. Built on rquest, this server enables realistic browser emulation with accurate TLS/JA3/JA4 fingerprints, allowing models to interact with websites more naturally and bypass common anti-bot measures. It also supports converting PDF and HTML documents to Markdown for easier processing by LLMs.
Features
- Complete HTTP Methods: Support for GET, POST, PUT, DELETE, PATCH, HEAD, OPTIONS, and TRACE
- Browser Fingerprinting: Accurate TLS, JA3/JA4, and HTTP/2 browser fingerprints
- Content Handling:
- Authentication Support: Basic, Bearer, and custom authentication methods
- Request Customization:
- SSL Security: Uses BoringSSL for secure connections with realistic browser fingerprints
Available Tools
- HTTP Request Tools:
- Response Handling Tools:
PDF Support
mcp-rquest now supports PDF to Markdown conversion, allowing you to download PDF files and convert them to Markdown format that's easy for LLMs to process:
- Automatic PDF Detection: PDF files are automatically detected based on content type
- Seamless Conversion: The same
get_stored_response_with_markdowntool works for both HTML and PDF files
- High-Quality Conversion: Uses the Marker library for accurate PDF to Markdown transformation
- Optimized Performance: Models are pre-downloaded during package installation to avoid delays during request processing
Installation
Using uv (recommended)
Using pip
Alternatively you can install
mcp-rquest via pip:After installation, you can run it as a script using:

pipx:Browser Emulation
mcp-rquest leverages rquest's powerful browser emulation capabilities to provide realistic browser fingerprints, which helps bypass bot detection and access content normally available only to standard browsers. Supported browser fingerprints include:
- Chrome (multiple versions)
- Firefox
- Safari (including iOS and iPad versions)
- Edge
- OkHttp
This ensures that requests sent through mcp-rquest appear as legitimate browser traffic rather than bot requests.
Development

Acknowledgements
- This project is built on top of rquest, which provides the advanced HTTP client with browser fingerprinting capabilities.
- rquest is based on a fork of reqwest.
