Has anyone integrated fetch-mcp with their local development workflow?

I've been experimenting with fetch-mcp for pulling data into my Claude prompts, but I'm running into some issues with authentication headers and rate limiting. Does anyone have a setup that works well for development vs. production? Also curious if there are better alternatives or if I'm just misconfiguring something obvious. Any tips appreciated!

I'd recommend storing auth headers in environment variables and using fetch-mcp's built-in caching to handle rate limits gracefully—I've had success with a `.env.local` for dev and CI secrets for prod. For development, consider wrapping fetch calls in a simple retry handler with exponential backoff. Have you tried testing your authentication separately before integrating with Claude, or are the header issues appearing only during the full workflow?
