description	Automate rTorrent via XML-RPC with Nyaa search, legal (AT) checks, and portmanteau MCP tools.

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.

Tools (portmanteau)

Tool	Role
torrent_management	add, list, pause, resume, delete, status, post-processing
search_management	anime, tv, movies, ebooks, metadata
nlp_management	natural language commands
legal_management	risk, check, advice
system_management	help, health, status
workflow_management	franchise / batch / schedule
agentic_rtorrent_workflow	LLM-driven multi-step flow (needs sampling)

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.
