FluxDown Overview

The zerx-lab/FluxDown MCP server exposes FluxDown download management through the Model Context Protocol. It uses a local Streamable HTTP endpoint and authenticated JSON-RPC requests, allowing supported AI clients to create, inspect, pause, resume, and remove downloads. It also provides access to named queues and RSS subscriptions. Reach for it when an agent needs to operate a local FluxDown instance rather than directly handling download protocols.
