The tool

How FacebookDownloader MCP handles a Facebook link

Pass it a link to a Facebook post, reel or watch page and get back direct URLs for the video in each quality and format on offer.

  • Download Facebook videos

    Share the address of a public post that holds a video, and the agent replies with direct links for every quality and format it finds.

  • Download Facebook reels

    Reels are covered as well: paste a reel link and get direct file links back, ready to save right away.

  • Download from watch links

    Links from facebook.com/watch and the short fb.watch form open the same video, so either one can be downloaded.

Posts, reels and watch pages

Use any MCP client to download Facebook videos and reels

A single tool that fits chat apps, code editors and your own scripts โ€” wherever an MCP client runs.

Facebook MCP server

Public videos

Add a single block to your client’s settings once — after that, just ask for a Facebook video any time you need it.

  "mcpServers": {
    "facebookdownloader-mcp": {
      "type": "http",

Assistant

Can you grab this reel? facebook.com/reel/…

download_facebook_video(url="facebook.com/reel/โ€ฆ")

Got it: the reel in HD and SD. Both are MP4 files you can download now.

Want links for another video from the same page as well?

Setup

Add FacebookDownloader MCP to ChatGPT, Claude or another MCP client

Choose your app and follow the steps for it

Fits every client with MCP support ยท only the place of the config file differs.

  1. Go to the MCP settings of your client and locate its config file, most often mcp.json.
  2. Put the FacebookDownloader block inside mcpServers:
    mcp.json
    {
      "mcpServers": {
        "facebookdownloader-mcp": {
          "type": "http",
          "url": "https://api-wh.facebookdownloader.io/facebook/mcp"
        }
      }
    }
  3. Save your changes, then restart the client to load the new server.
  4. Start a new chat and request a video:
    • Get me this reel: facebook.com/reel/…
    • I need the HD version of fb.watch/…
Not working?
  • No sign-in window, or it shows an error. Let your browser open pop-ups for this site, then connect once more.
  • The FacebookDownloader tool stops replying or is gone from the list. Remove the connector, then add it again using the same address.
  • The Connectors section is nowhere to be found. Connectors must be part of your plan, and the app or site has to be up to date.
  • Your session ended. Logins expire every so often — press Connect or Authenticate again to sign in.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Short answers on getting Facebook videos with an AI assistant.

  • The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open standard for plugging AI assistants into external tools and data sources. Servers expose tools, and the assistant decides on its own when to call one.
  • Any client with MCP support. Step-by-step setup guides are here for ChatGPT, Claude on the web, the Claude desktop app and Claude Code; other clients use the universal config.
  • No. FacebookDownloader MCP handles public Facebook videos only โ€” it cannot reach private posts or content shared with friends only.
  • In any chat with FacebookDownloader enabled, ask the assistant for a payment link and it will reply with one. There is no checkout page on this site.
