Fetchira puts 24 search, scrape and research providers behind one MCP server and CLI. It sends each call to the account with quota left and fails over on errors, so your agent just calls search.

The problem
Connecting providers one by one eats your context
Each provider ships its own MCP server, and every tool definition rides along on every request.
Every free tier has its own limit, window and reset date. Nobody tracks them by hand.
One 429 in the middle of a long task and your agent stops searching.
17 separate MCP servers≈ 95ktokens
fetchira≈ 2.7ktokens
Median 3.7k per official server. tools/list JSON at 4 chars per token; server instructions and output schemas not counted.
What changes
Your agent asks for a capability. The router handles the rest.
Your agent stops hitting dead keys
Fetchira reads live balances and rate limit headers, skips accounts with nothing left and retries the next one on a 429 or 402. The agent sees one answer.
Free tiers add up
Add several accounts per provider and the router spreads the load across all of them.

Deep research without an API key
Log in to ChatGPT, Gemini or Grok once. Fetchira uses that browser session for deep_research and create_image.
One gauge for every limit
fetchira ui shows remaining quota, burn rate per hour, reset dates and every routed call as it happens.
Local first, shared when you want
Keys stay in your config on this machine. Run a hosted server to give a team one endpoint with encrypted credentials.
Your agent names a capability. Fetchira picks who still has quota.
How it works
Running in three commands
01
Install
One command installs the binary and opens the dashboard. Homebrew and a shell installer work too.
$ npx -y fetchira
02
Add providers
Paste an API key, or log in with a browser for web sessions. Start with one or two and add more later.
Pick Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Gemini CLI, OpenCode, Zed or Windsurf. Restart the agent and it has six new tools.
$ fetchira install

Watch the router fail over in real time
The real dashboard beside a terminal. Keys go in from the CLI, tavily runs dry, the next search lands on exa, and deep research runs on your ChatGPT login.

The whole tool list
Six tools, about 2.7k tokens
The same six operations work over MCP and from your shell. Pass provider to pin a backend; otherwise the router picks.
search
Web, news, academic and Google results, routed across 18 search backends.
read
Any URL as clean markdown. Escalates to a headless browser when a plain read comes back empty.
deep_research
Long research runs through exa, parallel, tavily or your logged in ChatGPT, Gemini and Grok.
browser
Full JavaScript rendering through steel, hyperbrowser or browserless.
create_image
Images from your ChatGPT, Gemini or Grok session, saved straight to disk.
usage
Modes, models and examples for each provider, so the agent calls them right.
Providers
24 providers, 21 APIs and 3 browser sessions
Every provider is optional. Free allowances below are what each provider offers today and can change.

Provider names and logos belong to their respective owners.
Yes. Fetchira is open source under Apache 2.0. Each provider has its own plan and quota, and paid features can draw from a paid balance on that provider.
Which agents does it work with?
Any MCP client. fetchira install sets it up in Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Gemini CLI, OpenCode, Zed and Windsurf, as MCP, CLI only, or MCP with CLI fallback.
Do I need API keys?
No. gdelt, keenable, jina and openalex work without a key, and chatgpt_web, gemini_web and grok_web use a browser login. Keys unlock larger free tiers.
What happens when a provider runs out?
The router skips accounts with no quota left and fails over to the next one on a 429 or 402. It reads live balances where providers report them and tracks every reset date. A temporary rate limit triggers a retry delay, not a monthly reset.
Where are my keys stored?
Locally, in ~/.config/fetchira unless you set FETCHIRA_HOME. Local config can hold plaintext keys, so treat it like any dotfile with secrets. A hosted server encrypts stored credentials with its master key.
Can I force a specific provider?
Yes. Pass provider over MCP or --provider in the CLI. You can also drag providers into your own failover order per capability in the dashboard.
Can my team share one setup?
Run a hosted server and give each person a URL and an API key. fetchira setup connects to it; CLI and MCP both use the same server.
Which platforms are supported?
Prebuilt releases for macOS arm64 and x86_64, and Linux arm64 and x86_64 with glibc 2.34 or newer. Anything else can build from source with cargo install.
How do I remove it?
Remove the fetchira entry from your agent's MCP config, then delete the fetchira binary from ~/.local/bin and the config folder.
