MCP server for Stremio: content search, account library, addon management, desktop and Android TV control
MCP server for Stremio: content search, account library, addon management, desktop and Android TV control. Exposed over MCP by the stremio mcp server, that capability becomes something an assistant can invoke while it works, not something you go and do afterwards.
An MCP server for Stremio. It searches for something to watch, manages the account library, installs and orders addons across every device you are signed in on, and drives Stremio on a laptop or an Android TV.
Everything the assistant can do here goes through one of these:
Addons — Changes here reach every signed-in device, which is how a laptop gets its addonsSubtitles — add_subtitle serves a subtitle file from this machine through a small addon, so it shows up in Stremio's own subtitle picker on any device on the LANYou will need 2 environment variables: STREMIO_AUTH_KEY, ANDROID_TV_HOST. The server will not start without them, which is usually why the tools fail to appear on a first run. Keep credentials in your client's env block or a secrets manager rather than in a file you might commit.
Installation goes through your MCP client rather than a global install: point it at stremio-mcp on PyPI and it is fetched when the client starts. The copy-paste blocks for Claude Desktop, Claude Code and Cursor are further down this page.
Among the developer tooling options, the useful question is rarely "what can it do" but "what does it cost you to run" — permissions, credentials, and how much of your context its toolset consumes. Stremio's toolset — Addons, Subtitles — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by Yoan Wai; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.
