Terminal friendly
Use fast-download parse, download, quota and billing from scripts.
YouTube Shorts CLI
Parse YouTube Shorts from your agent session.
Fastdown gives AI coding agents a command-line and MCP surface for public short-video links, including YouTube Shorts workflows that need metadata, media URLs or local files.
One installer, three surfaces
Start with the CLI, expose it as MCP, and keep the API available for custom automation.
Agent friendly
Run fast-download mcp --stdio and let the agent call download_video.
Integration friendly
Use the Cloudflare Worker API when a backend wants structured parse responses.

- 3Ask for a public YouTube Shorts link to be parsed or saved locally.
