MCP server for Overseerr

MCP server to interact with Overseerr API for movie and TV show requests management.

Components

Tools

The server implements multiple tools to interact with Overseerr:

  • overseerr_status: Get the status of the Overseerr server
  • overseerr_movie_requests: Get the list of all movie requests that satisfies the filter arguments
  • overseerr_tv_requests: Get the list of all TV show requests that satisfies the filter arguments

Example prompts

It's good to first instruct Claude to use Overseerr. Then it will always call the tool when appropriate.

Try prompts like these:

  • Get the status of our Overseerr server
  • Show me all the movie requests that are currently pending
  • List all TV show requests from the last month that are now available
  • What movies have been requested but are not available yet?
  • What TV shows have recently become available in our library?

Configuration

Overseerr API Key & URL

There are two ways to configure the environment with the Overseerr API credentials:

  1. Add to server config (preferred)
{ "overseerr-mcp": { "command": "uvx", "args": [ "overseerr-mcp" ], "env": { "OVERSEERR_API_KEY": "", "OVERSEERR_URL": "" } } }
  1. Create a .env file in the working directory with the following required variables:
OVERSEERR_API_KEY=your_api_key_here
OVERSEERR_URL=your_overseerr_url_here

Note: You can find the API key in the Overseerr settings under "API Keys".

Quickstart

Install

Overseerr API Key

You need an Overseerr instance running and an API key:

  1. Navigate to your Overseerr installation
  2. Go to Settings → General
  3. Find the "API Key" section
  4. Generate a new API key if you don't already have one

Claude Desktop

On MacOS: ~/Library/Application\ Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

On Windows: %APPDATA%/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

Development/Unpublished Servers Configuration

{ "mcpServers": { "overseerr-mcp": { "command": "uv", "args": [ "--directory", "/overseerr-mcp", "run", "overseerr-mcp" ], "env": { "OVERSEERR_API_KEY": "", "OVERSEERR_URL": "" } } } }

Note: This MCP server is not yet published. Currently, only the development configuration is available.

Development

Building

To prepare the package for distribution:

  1. Sync dependencies and update lockfile:
uv sync

Debugging

Since MCP servers run over stdio, debugging can be challenging. For the best debugging experience, we strongly recommend using the MCP Inspector.

You can launch the MCP Inspector via npm with this command:

npx @modelcontextprotocol/inspector uv --directory /path/to/overseerr-mcp run overseerr-mcp

Upon launching, the Inspector will display a URL that you can access in your browser to begin debugging.

You can also watch the server logs with this command:

tail -n 20 -f ~/Library/Logs/Claude/mcp-server-overseerr-mcp.log
