MCP

Using as an MCP Server

The MCP Server can be run in two modes: stdio (for local testing) or http (for networked access).

Environment Variables

• QBITTORRENT_URL: The URL of the target service.
• QBITTORRENT_PASSWORD: The API token or access token.

Run in stdio mode (default):

export QBITTORRENT_URL="http://localhost:8080"
export QBITTORRENT_PASSWORD="your_token"
qbittorrent-mcp --transport "stdio"

Run in HTTP mode:

export QBITTORRENT_URL="http://localhost:8080"
export QBITTORRENT_PASSWORD="your_token"
qbittorrent-mcp --transport "http" --host "0.0.0.0" --port "8000"

A2A Agent

Run A2A Server

export QBITTORRENT_URL="http://localhost:8080"
export QBITTORRENT_PASSWORD="your_token"
qbittorrent-agent --provider openai --model-id gpt-4o --api-key sk-...

Docker

Build

docker build -t qbittorrent-agent .

Run MCP Server

docker run -d \
  --name qbittorrent-agent \
  -p 8000:8000 \
  -e TRANSPORT=http \
  -e QBITTORRENT_URL="http://your-service:8080" \
  -e QBITTORRENT_PASSWORD="your_token" \
  knucklessg1/qbittorrent-agent:latest

Deploy with Docker Compose

services:
  qbittorrent-agent:
