Seerr MCP server

This is a small helper that connects your AI assistant to Seerr or Overseerr, the tools people use to ask for movies and TV shows on a home media server. Once it is set up, you can just type what you want in plain words and the AI will look it up or put in the request for you. It is handy if you run Plex, Jellyfin, or Emby at home and are tired of clicking through menus.

What this MCP server does

You type something like check if this show is already in my library. Your AI sends that to this helper. The helper talks to your Seerr or Overseerr instance using your URL and API key, searches the catalog, and checks what is already requested or available. Then it hands the answer back to your AI, which shows it to you in the chat as a short list or summary.

What it gives back to you

You get answers right in the chat. Sometimes that is a short list of titles with a pass or blocked note, sometimes a summary with counts like how many were already requested. It can also show details about a title or a list of your pending requests. When you ask it to request or approve something, it tells you what it changed.
