Assistenti AI (MCP)

GDM comes with an MCP server, misterdownloadmanager-mcp, so an AI assistant that supports MCP (Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code and others) can work with the downloads in your running GDM. You ask in your own words:

• "What is GDM downloading right now, and how long is left?"
• "Scarica https://example.com/big.iso in D:\ISOs stanotte, ma non avviarlo ancora."
• "Metti in pausa tutti i download in corso."
• "Rimuovi i download completati dall'elenco ma conserva i file."

L'assistente avvia il server da solo; devi solo indicargli dove si trova, una volta sola. Il server inoltra ogni richiesta all'app tramite la sua API di automazione, solo su questo computer.

Cosa può fare l'assistente

The assistant can't change GDM's options, see your browser, or turn the automation API on by itself.

Configurazione

1. Attiva l'API di automazione

Listing and acting on downloads needs GDM's automation API, which is off until you turn it on. With GDM running, run this once (it stays on):

misterdownloadmanager-cli api on

misterdownloadmanager-cli api off turns it off again. Without the API, the assistant can still add downloads, the same as GDM's command line.

2. Trova il server

misterdownloadmanager-mcpsi trova accanto all'app:

A portable copy's server finds the portable copy's GDM by itself, from its own folder.

3. Indica al tuo assistente

Claude Desktop: Impostazioni → Sviluppatore → Modifica configurazione apre claude_desktop_config.json. Aggiungi il server, poi riavvia Claude Desktop:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "misterdownloadmanager": {
      "command": "C:\\Users\\you\\AppData\\Local\\Programs\\GolinksPRO Download Manager\\misterdownloadmanager-mcp.exe"
    }
  }
}

Claude Code:

claude mcp add misterdownloadmanager -- "C:\Users\you\AppData\Local\Programs\GolinksPRO Download Manager\misterdownloadmanager-mcp.exe"

Cursor: la stessa voce mcpServers di Claude Desktop, in ~/.cursor/mcp.json (o aggiungila nelle impostazioni MCP di Cursor).

VS Code: in .vscode/mcp.json, oppure MCP: Aggiungi server nel riquadro comandi:

{
  "servers": {
    "misterdownloadmanager": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "C:\\Users\\you\\AppData\\Local\\Programs\\GolinksPRO Download Manager\\misterdownloadmanager-mcp.exe"
    }
  }
}

Usa il percorso del passaggio 2 (in JSON, ogni \ è scritto \\). Altri assistenti richiedono la stessa cosa: un comando per avviare, senza argomenti.

Privacy

GDM itself still sends nothing anywhere: the server talks only to the GDM on this computer, over the token-protected local channel. But what the assistant reads, it passes to its own AI service: when it lists your downloads, their file names, addresses and folders go to that service, under that service's privacy terms. Turn the automation API off, or remove the server from the assistant, when you don't want that.
