Using MCP in Cherry Studio

The following uses the fetch function as an example to demonstrate how to use MCP in Cherry Studio. Details can be found in the documentation.

Preparation: Install uv, bun

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

In Settings - MCP Server, click the Install button to automatically download and install. Since it's downloaded directly from GitHub, the speed might be slow, and there's a high chance of failure. Whether the installation is successful or not is determined by the presence of files in the folder mentioned below.

Executable Installation Directory:

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

macOS, Linux: ~/.cherrystudio/bin

bin directory

If installation fails:

You can symlink the corresponding commands from your system to this location. If the directory does not exist, you need to create it manually. Alternatively, you can manually download the executables and place them in this directory:

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