MCP server for Crunchyroll anime streaming - search anime, manage watchlist, track viewing progress
Crunchyroll MCP server exists for a simple reason — assistants are far more useful when they can act on Crunchyroll directly instead of describing what you should do. MCP server for Crunchyroll anime streaming - search anime, manage watchlist, track viewing progress.
Crunchyroll anime streaming MCP connector for personal AI agents. Lets Claude and other AI assistants manage your Crunchyroll account — search anime, track progress, manage your watchlist, get recommendations, and more.
Installation goes through your MCP client rather than a global install: point it at @striderlabs/mcp-crunchyroll on npm and it is fetched when the client starts. The copy-paste blocks for Claude Desktop, Claude Code and Cursor are further down this page.
Once Crunchyroll is connected, these are the calls the assistant has available:

Crunchyroll's toolset — Authentication, Watchlist, Recommendations and 1 more — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by markswendsen-code; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.
