Summary
One call, one file on disk.

A lightweight MCP service for pulling Instagram videos down to disk. It extracts the media URL with btch-downloader and fetches the file with axios, built on FastMCP.
What you get
- A download call that takes the Instagram post `url` and a local `path`, and writes the video there — `download`
- Progress tracking and logging while the transfer runs, rather than a silent wait
