What is the GPTDARR MCP server?

A MCP Server for efficiently managing and automating TV shows and movies in Sonarr and Radarr setups. Simplify your media library management with AI-driven insights and commands. That is what the gptdarr mcp server brings to an AI assistant: the same capability, reachable through the Model Context Protocol rather than a separate app or dashboard.

The short version

  1. The wizard will guide you through setting up: - Sonarr URL and API key - Radarr URL and API key - Quality profiles for both services - Root folders for media storage - Logging preferences

GPTDARR is an AI tool server using Model Context Protocol (MCP) that integrates with Sonarr and Radarr. It helps AI assistants search, add, and manage TV shows and movies in your media library.

  • Search for TV shows and movies across Sonarr and Radarr
  • Add TV series to Sonarr
  • Add movies to Radarr
  • Comprehensive logging system for debugging and monitoring (sorry about the litter, this is very much a work in progress application)

Getting it running

Installation goes through your MCP client rather than a global install: point it at gptdarr 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.

The tools it exposes

The server publishes 8 tools. What each one is for:

  • lookup-content — Search for TV shows and movies
  • Parameters — - title: The title to search for
  • add-series — Add TV series to Sonarr
  • seriesName — Name of the TV series
  • add-movies — Add movies to Radarr
  • title — Title of the movie
  • Prerequisites — The Prerequisites tool exposed by this server
  • Logging — The logs are mostly for development, and we suggest disabling them when running setup. - Content lookups - Series and movie additions - API requests

What it needs from you

  • Node.js 18 or higher - Sonarr and Radarr set up and running - An MCP-compatible chat client (e.g., 5ire, Claude)

Things to watch

  • It runs with your machine's permissions. That is convenient and also the reason to think about what you point it at before you approve a tool call.
  • Keep per-call confirmation enabled while you learn its behaviour; it is the cheapest safeguard you have.

How it compares

Plenty of monitoring and observability servers cover similar ground. The differences that matter in practice are scope of access and how much setup stands between you and a working tool call. GPTDARR's toolset — lookup-content, Parameters, add-series and 5 more — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by csmit195; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.

SyncDev reviews every entry in this directory against the project's own documentation before publishing, and revisits them as servers change.
