# Bootleg-Link MCP v0.9.0

Python MCP server for downloading music from YouTube, Qobuz, and Beatport. Outputs CDJ-2000 compatible MP3 (48kHz/320k CBR/JPEG cover). Features task queue with resume, concurrent downloads, and intelligent file naming.

## Architecture

Single-file Python MCP server (`src/server.py`) over stdin/stdout JSON-RPC 2.0.

- **Multi-source**: YouTube (yt-dlp), Qobuz (qobuz-dl), Beatport (Playwright + requests)
- **CDJ-2000 Format**: 48kHz/320k CBR MP3, JPEG cover (WebP→JPEG auto-convert), no video streams
- **Task Queue**: In-memory + SQLite persistence, auto-resume on restart
- **Parallel Download**: ThreadPoolExecutor with configurable workers (max 32)
- **Paged Playlist**: Flat extraction (100/page) for large channel downloads
- **Smart Naming**: `Artist - Title (Mix) [LABEL].mp3` with auto artist extraction from YouTube metadata
- **YouTube Auth**: Playwright + Xvfb stealth Chromium login, bgutil PO Token provider
- **Config**: `~/.bootleg-link-mcp/config.json` for paths, proxy, quality, concurrency

## Configuration

`~/.bootleg-link-mcp/config.json`:

```json
{
  "paths": {
    "outputDir": "/mnt/e/music",
    "dbPath": "~/.bootleg-link-mcp/bootleg-link.db"
  },
  "proxy": { "http": "http://proxy:port", "https": "http://proxy:port" },
  "download": { "maxConcurrent": 32, "quality": "320" }
}
```

## Smart Directory

When no `outputDir` is specified, auto-creates subdirectories under `paths.outputDir` from URL content:
- Search query `[TECHAWAY RECORDS]` → `outputDir/TECHAWAY RECORDS/`
- Channel `@ChannelName` → `outputDir/ChannelName/`
