Install the CLI, then expose video tools to your agent.

Fastdown ships as a small command-line program named fast-download. It can run directly in a shell or as an MCP stdio server for AI agents.

Core commands

These commands are the smallest reliable surface for terminal and agent workflows.

Auth

fast-download auth login

Opens Google OAuth in the system browser. Agents should never ask users for Google passwords.

Parse

fast-download parse "<url>" --json

Returns platform, title, author, media URLs, warnings and quota without saving files.

Download

fast-download download "<url>" --json

Saves returned media locally. The MCP download_video tool uses the same behavior.

MCP

fast-download mcp --stdio

Exposes download_video, parse_video and quota to MCP-capable clients.

MCP server config

Use this block when an agent client needs manual MCP configuration.
