arr-mcp server

arr-mcp

Talk to your entire media stack. One server, one endpoint, one conversation.

Radarr · Sonarr · Whisparr · Prowlarr · Bazarr · Jellyfin · Plex · Seerr · SABnzbd · Transmission · qBittorrent · Profilarr

Everyone else ships one MCP server per service. This is one for the stack.

That difference is the whole point, because the interesting questions live between services:

"Why isn't the film I requested on Tuesday showing up in Jellyfin?"

No single service can answer that. It spans Seerr, Radarr, Prowlarr, SABnzbd and Jellyfin — five APIs, five sets of ids, five half-answers. arr-mcp correlates them and hands back the causal chain:

diagnose { query: "Blade" }

No file on disk yet. Trigger a search in Radarr or Sonarr — nothing is

downloading and no indexer reported a failure.

One call. One answer. It even answers with a service down, and tells you which part it could not check rather than guessing across the hole.

Why people run it

Nothing else in this space does the last five at all.

Quick start — about two minutes

Also in the repo as docker-compose.example.yml. On Unraid, use unraid/arr-mcp.xml instead — a Community Applications template with the appdata path and 99:100 ownership already set. It is not listed in CA yet, so for now drop it into /boot/config/plugins/dockerMan/templates-user/ and pick it from the template list under Add Container. Steps 1 to 3 below are the same once it starts.

Shortened. The full README is on GitHub.
