README

@ssavecc/mcp-server

Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for Ssave.cc — extract and download TikTok / Instagram / YouTube / Douyin media (HD video without watermark, MP3 audio) directly to your local disk.

Runs locally via stdio, backed by the Ssave Open API (/open/v1). No registration required on the free tier.

Quick Start

npx @ssavecc/mcp-server

Then add it to your MCP client:

Claude Code

claude mcp add ssave -- npx @ssavecc/mcp-server

Or project-level .mcp.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "ssave": { "command": "npx", "args": ["@ssavecc/mcp-server"] }
  }
}

Cursor

Settings → MCP → Add new MCP server:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "ssave": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["@ssavecc/mcp-server"]
    }
  }
}

Claude Desktop

Edit claude_desktop_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "ssave": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["@ssavecc/mcp-server"]
    }
  }
}

Tools

Tool Description
extract_media Extract metadata and available formats from a TikTok / Instagram / YouTube / Douyin URL. Returns an ssv_ token (expires in 5–15 min) plus per-format download URLs.
download_media Stream the extracted media to local disk (default ~/Downloads/ssave/, override with output_dir). Returns the absolute path and size.
get_thumbnail Save the media thumbnail to local disk (proxied — never exposes the source CDN link).

Typical flow: extract_media(url) → take the returned id → download_media(id, type: "hd" | "watermark" | "mp3").

Environment Variables

All optional:

Variable Default Description
SSAVE_API_BASE_URL https://api.ssave.cc Override for local development (e.g. http://localhost:8000).
SSAVE_API_KEY — Reserved for paid tier (Phase 3): sent as Authorization: Bearer <key>.
SSAVE_OUTPUT_DIR ~/Downloads/ssave/ Default output directory when output_dir is not passed.

Rate Limits (free tier)

Shared with the Ssave Open API, per IP per UTC day:

Operation Limit
extract 10 / day
download 50 / day

On 429 rate_limited the tool reports the UTC reset time.

Development

npm run dev        # run server on stdio (connect with MCP Inspector: npx @modelcontextprotocol/inspector)
