Drive unfetch from your AI assistant

unfetch ships with a built-in MCP server — exposing 13 tools so Claude Desktop, Cursor, or any MCP host can search, queue, and manage downloads on your behalf.

Claude Desktop configuration

Add this to claude_desktop_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "unfetch": {
      "command": "C:\\Program Files\\unfetch\\unfetch.exe",
      "args": ["--mcp"]
    }
  }
}

Restart Claude Desktop. You should see a 🔌 icon — unfetch is now available as a tool source.
