Using MCP in Cherry Studio

The following uses the fetch feature as an example to demonstrate how to use MCP in Cherry Studio. You can find more details in the documentation.

Preparation: Install uv, bun

Cherry Studio currently only uses the built-in uv and bun, and will not reuse any existing installations of uv and bun on the system.

In Settings - MCP Server, click the Install button to automatically download and install them. Since the downloads are directly from GitHub, the speed might be slow, and there is a high chance of failure. The success of the installation depends on whether the files exist in the folder mentioned below.

Executable Installation Directory:

Windows: C:\Users\YourUsername\.cherrystudio\bin

macOS, Linux: ~/.cherrystudio/bin

bin directory

If the installation fails:

You can create a symbolic link (soft link) from the corresponding system command to this directory. If the directory does not exist, you need to create it manually. Alternatively, you can manually download the executable files and place them in this directory:

Bun: https://github.com/oven-sh/bun/releases UV: https://github.com/astral-sh/uv/releases
