Is there any example how an agent can interact with MCP? I imagine it will replace / complement Tools interface.

I shared some notes about it here. Well worth exploring right now: https://notes.dsebastien.net/30+Areas/33+Permanent+notes/33....

Thanks for this. I'm not familiar with MCP, but having (briefly) read your link it appears to enable a use case I've been expecting where a chat window could replace the entire website experience (probably better suited to larger enterprise style websites) to provide tailored information for a company/product.
Would you know if it's possible to use this approach to constrain an LLM to only a specific context of information (For example, on the Microsoft site, any question related to CRMs would answer with information about Dynamics but never Salesforce)?
Fetch-MCP is a MCP server built on Playwright, designed for efficient web page content fetching. It excels at retrieving content from both static and dynamic websites, leveraging Playwright's powerful headless browser capabilities. Key features include `fetch_url` for single page retrieval and `fetch_urls` for high-performance batch fetching of multiple URLs in parallel. Fetch-MCP intelligently extracts main content, supports Markdown conversion, and is easily configurable, making it an ideal tool for developers needing robust and scalable web scraping capabilities.
