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.

Or project-level .mcp.json:

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

Tools

ToolDescription
extract_mediaExtract 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_mediaStream the extracted media to local disk (default ~/Downloads/ssave/, override with output_dir). Returns the absolute path and size.
get_thumbnailSave 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").
