RuTracker MCP Server
An MCP server that lets Claude search and browse rutracker.org torrents. Authentication is handled automatically via cookies from the Brave browser.
Tools
Tool | Description |
| Search for torrents by query, with optional category, sort, and order |
| Get detailed info about a torrent: title, size, seeds, magnet link, description, file list |
Prerequisites
macOS (osx-arm64)
Pixi package manager
Brave browser with an active rutracker.org session in a profile named "Peter"
Setup
# Install dependencies
pixi install
# Run the server (stdio transport)
pixi run serveUsage with Claude Code
The included .mcp.json configures the server automatically. Just open Claude Code in this directory and the search / get_topic tools will be available.
Usage with Claude Desktop
Add to ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json:
{
"mcpServers": {
"rutracker": {
"command": "pixi",
"args": ["run", "--manifest-path", "/path/to/this/repo/pyproject.toml", "serve"]
}
}
}How it works
On startup, cookies are loaded from Brave's cookie store (cached locally in
.cookies.jsonto avoid repeated Keychain prompts)Search queries go to
tracker.php, topic lookups go toviewtopic.phpHTML responses (cp1251 encoded) are parsed with BeautifulSoup
If a login redirect is detected, cookies are auto-refreshed from Brave
