Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I need to fetch some local systems with either self-signed or invalid SSL i.e when using DDEV deployments.

Currently fetch refuses to connect to the DDEV server hosted on the same machine as claude due to SSL issues.

Describe the solution you'd like
Id like a flag to enable ignore bad ssl certificates to allow it to communicate with my ddev server.

Describe alternatives you've considered
None as proxying would also require a SSL cert issue.

Research direction

Start by locating the mcp-server-fetch entry point and the existing SSL request handling. Add a flag that permits self-signed or invalid certificates for local DDEV systems, then verify that default certificate validation remains unchanged and that the flag enables the requested connection.
