What master-fetch can do

6 tools documented in its README. An AI client calls these by name.

smart_fetch
Fetch any URL. HTTP first, auto-escalates to the anti-detect browser if blocked. Bulk, PDFs (with OCR + quality score), `css_selector`, `focus`, `actions`, pagination.
smart_crawl
Best-first same-domain crawl. Each page as markdown with `content_ok` + `page_type` (article / list / js_shell). `discover_only`, `crawl_urls`, `focus`, sitemap mode, time + token caps.
smart_search
Local keyless web search. 10 backends in parallel, merges + ranks with neural rerank + cross-backend consensus. `relevance_score` + `engines_consensus` per result.
screenshot
Capture a page as an image. For multimodal agents (canvas, image-of-text, visual layout).
cache_clear
Clear the fetch cache. `all=true` wipes everything.
version
Installed version + update status.
