Using MCP in Cherry Studio

Below, taking the fetch function as an example, we demonstrate how to use MCP in Cherry Studio. Details can be found in the documentation.

Preparation: Install uv, bun

Cherry Studio currently only uses the built-in uv and bun, and will not reuse uv and bun already installed in the system.

Executable Installation Directory:

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

macOS, Linux: ~/.cherrystudio/bin

bin directory
