torrentclaw/torrentclaw-mcp

Model Context Protocol server for TorrentClaw — giving AI assistants the ability to search movies and TV shows, find torrents with magnet links, check streaming availability, and explore cast/crew metadata.
torrentclaw-mcp is developed by TorrentClaw as part of its open-source ecosystem. It wraps the TorrentClaw API into the MCP standard so that any compatible AI assistant (Claude, GPT, etc.) can access the platform's search and discovery features natively.
Quick Start
No API key required (optional for higher rate limits).
