The publisher's own command. Not a PlugMCP endpoint.

Local command
uvx contentdm-mcp==0.1.0Credentials from the publisher
- CONTENTDM_CACHE_DIR — Directory for the on-disk response cache.
- CONTENTDM_TIMEOUT — HTTP timeout in seconds for one request. Image downloads get 120 s to read.
- CONTENTDM_MIN_INTERVAL — Least seconds between two requests to one site. Never below 0.5.
- CONTENTDM_CONTACT — An email address or URL appended to the User-Agent, so an institution can reach whoever runs the server.
- CONTENTDM_EXTRA_INSTANCES — More CONTENTdm sites a tool may reach, beyond the curated ones and *.contentdm.oclc.org: https base URLs separated by commas, or the absolute path of a YAML file shaped like instances.yaml.
- CONTENTDM_DOWNLOAD_DIR — An existing folder. When set, get_image saves only inside it; needed to save under ~/Library, such as an iCloud Drive folder.
Claude Code has no install link for a local command. Copy the command below and run it in a terminal.
