**140 MCP tools** for [Nexus Mods](https://www.nexusmods.com) — wraps the official
**REST API v1** and **GraphQL API v2** as a Model Context Protocol server (Python +
FastMCP, stdio transport). Lets any MCP client (Claude Desktop, opencode, Cursor, ...)
browse games, inspect mods and files, run free-text searches, download mod files with
checksum verification, manage endorsements, comments, collections, and user preferences.

## Highlights

- **Full API coverage** — 74 read tools + 66 mutations across v1 REST and v2 GraphQL.
  Includes things v1 doesn't offer: free-text mod search, batch mod lookups, comment
  threads, collection lifecycle, and quota-free GraphQL reads.
- **Built-in TTL cache** — repeated identical GETs within a session don't consume quota
  (games 1h, mod/file data 5 min, GraphQL POSTs 60 s). Personal state (`/user/*`) is
  never cached.
- **Dual authentication** — personal API key out of the box; optional OAuth2 (PKCE S256)
  with auto-refresh for user-context mutations that API keys cannot perform.
- **Safe downloads** — `nexus_download_mod_file` streams from the CDN to disk, verifies
  MD5 + SHA-256 checksums against the expected hashes, and enforces a configurable size cap.
- **Rate-limit transparency** — every v1 response carries an `_rl` snapshot of Nexus'
  hourly/daily limit headers.
