• 2

  List and filter movie requests (for example: pending, available, or not-available) to summarize requests or trigger follow-up actions.

Description

This MCP server exposes tools to interact with the Overseerr API, including retrieving Overseerr server status and fetching filtered lists of movie and TV show requests. It is configured via an Overseerr API key and URL (environment variables or server config) and is intended to be used by conversational agents to automate request monitoring and management. The server is useful for detecting availability changes, summarizing pending requests, and integrating Overseerr data into workflows or agents. The README notes the MCP is currently unpublished and targeted for development use.
