rTorrent MCP
When to use
- Add/list/pause torrents against rTorrent (
RTORRENT_HOST, RTORRENT_PORT, /RPC2).
- Search nyaa.si and other indexers through
search_management.
- Check Austrian legal context with
legal_management before risky operations.

Sampling
Server-side LLM defaults to Ollama at RTORRENT_SAMPLING_BASE_URL. Set RTORRENT_SAMPLING_USE_CLIENT_LLM=1 to use the host LLM when supported.
Safety
Do not expose rTorrent XML-RPC to the public internet. Keep RPC on localhost or a trusted network.
