From the repository

Install by cloning the repository and running pip install .. Configure in the MCP client by adding "mcp-server-requests" with command python -m mcp_server_requests. Optionally set User-Agent via command-line flags (--user-agent or --random-user-agent). Use the server’s tools (fetch, http_get, http_post, http_put, http_patch, http_delete) to perform HTTP operations.

cd mcp-server-requests
pip install .

Usage

MCP Server Configuration

{
    "mcpServers": {
        "mcp-server-requests": {
            "command": "python",
            "args": [
                "-m",
                "mcp_server_requests"
            ]
        }
    }
}

Command Line

0. Start MCP Server

Start the MCP server directly:

python -m mcp_server_requests

Options

- --user-agent TEXT: Specify custom User-Agent string - --random-user-agent [browser=xxx;os=xxx]: Use randomly generated User-Agent - --force-user-agent: Force using command line specified User-Agent, ignoring LLM provided UA - --list-os-and-browser: List available browsers and OS for random User-Agent generation

Option Details

- --user-agent and --random-user-agent are mutually exclusive and cannot be used together - User-Agent setup methods: - Custom string: --user-agent "Mozilla/5.0 (...)" - Fully random: --random-user-agent - Conditional random generation: - Specify browser type: --random-user-agent browser=chrome - Specify OS: --random-user-agent os=windows - Both browser and OS: --random-user-agent browser=chrome;os=windows - Note: Browser and OS parameters are case insensitive

- Use --list-os-and-browser to view available browsers and OS for --random-user-agent.

- --force-user-agent controls User-Agent priority:
- When enabled: Prioritize command line specified User-Agent (via --user-agent or --random-user-agent), ignoring LLM provided UA
- When disabled:
- If LLM provides User-Agent, use that
- Otherwise use command line specified User-Agent
