What is the Radarr Sonarr MCP server?

Most developer tooling work still happens through a UI a human drives. Radarr Sonarr MCP server moves it into the conversation instead. Allows AI assistants to query movie and TV show collections managed by Radarr and Sonarr.

The short version

A Python-based Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides AI assistants like Claude with access to your Radarr (movies) and Sonarr (TV series) data.

This MCP server allows AI assistants to query your movie and TV show collection via Radarr and Sonarr APIs. Built with FastMCP, it implements the standardized protocol for AI context that Claude Desktop and other MCP-compatible clients can use.

  • Native MCP Implementation — Built with FastMCP for seamless AI integration
  • Radarr Integration — Access your movie collection
  • Sonarr Integration — Access your TV show and episode data
  • Rich Filtering — Filter by year, watched status, actors, and more
  • Claude Desktop Compatible — Works seamlessly with Claude's MCP client
  • Easy Setup — Interactive configuration wizard

Getting it running

radarr-sonarr-mcp on PyPI is all you need. Most clients run it directly, so configuration is a few lines and a restart.

The tools it exposes

The server publishes 3 tools. What each one is for:

  • Movies — The Movies tool exposed by this server
  • Series — The Series tool exposed by this server
  • Resources — The Resources tool exposed by this server

What it needs from you

Configuration is passed through the environment: YOUR_RADARR_API_KEY, YOUR_SONARR_API_KEY. Treat anything key-shaped as a real credential — scope it to the minimum the server needs, and rotate it if it ever lands in a shared config.

  • Python 3.7+ - FastMCP - Requests - Pydantic

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.
  • Missing credentials fail quietly in some clients — if no tools show up, check the environment block first.
  • Keep per-call confirmation enabled while you learn its behaviour; it is the cheapest safeguard you have.

How it compares

Plenty of developer tooling 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. Radarr Sonarr's toolset — Movies, Series, Resources — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by BerryKuipers; 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.
