## Description

The SoundCloud Downloader MCP server enables Claude to download tracks, playlists, and user content from SoundCloud directly through conversation. Built by arnavsurve, this implementation wraps the popular scdl command-line tool in a FastMCP interface, providing granular control over download options including output location, download modes (all tracks, uploads, favorites, reposts, or playlists), track limits, and metadata handling. The server requires ffmpeg and the scdl package as dependencies, making it particularly valuable for users who want to archive or collect SoundCloud content without manually using command-line tools.
