Overview

AI-generated overview

Local MCP server that connects an assistant to an Overseerr instance for media requests and discovery.

What you can do
  • Connect an assistant to a self-hosted Overseerr instance for media requests and discovery.
  • No tool list is published, so the exact actions available are not documented here.
  • Configuration is limited to the Overseerr base URL and an API key.
When to use it
Useful if you run Overseerr to manage movie and TV requests and want an assistant to help browse or request media through it. Skip it if you do not have an Overseerr instance or need a documented tool list before installing.
Requirements
Runs locally as a Python package launched with uvx, so a Python/uv environment is needed. Requires the OVERSEERR_URL environment variable with the base URL of your Overseerr instance and the OVERSEERR_API_KEY secret from Overseerr settings. Desktop only; no remote endpoint.
Before you install
The server needs an Overseerr API key, which grants access to your instance; keep it out of shared configs and logs. Requests made through Overseerr can trigger downloads and storage use on your media server. The published tool list is empty, so review what it can do before granting access.

Installation

In SourceWeft

  1. Open Overseerr MCP in the dashboard and add it to a workspace.
  2. Enable the server for the chats that should use its tools.

Desktop only via STDIO. STDIO servers start a local process, so they need the SourceWeft desktop host.

25% of the applicable checks met

How complete this listing is, computed from the registry entry, the endpoint and public sources. Not a rating of the server and not a statement that it is safe or working today: reachability is a dated check, and no installs or reviews go into the score.

    Keep the endpoint answering the MCP handshake; SourceWeft probes it every 30 days.

  • Auth declared10 pts

    Declare the credential headers in the registry entry, or keep the endpoint answering the probe so its auth can be classified.
