Webfetch (ashlrai) MCP Server

The license-first image layer for AI agents and humans. One MCP server, one CLI, and one HTTP server that federate across 25 image providers, rank results license-first, and reject UNKNOWN results by default. It runs locally over stdio via the published package.

People who work with attribution, chrome extension and cloudflare workers and want it reachable from Claude, Cursor, VS Code, or another MCP client. The project is written in JavaScript.
