What is seerr-mcp AGENTS.md?

Project instructions for seerr-mcp, an MCP server that exposes Seerr’s media-management API to AI agents. Seerr can handle media discovery, requests, users, watchlists, services, notifications, and related settings.

Use them when developing or testing seerr-mcp, registering its tools, following its annotations, or running read and write integration tests.

They document how the server is organized, tested, authenticated, and kept within the agent’s tool-context limits.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.01714	$0.01714
Opus 5.5	$0.00686	$0.00686
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00343	$0.00343

Security

Grade A, and why

seerr-mcp AGENTS.md scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2mo ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

AGENTS.md — seerr-mcp

MCP server exposing Seerr's v1 REST API (OpenAPI 3.0.2) as tools so an LLM can read and manage a Seerr instance: search and discovery, media requests and approvals, users, issues, watchlists and blocklists, Plex/Jellyfin/Emby and Sonarr/Radarr settings, notification agents, jobs, and more. Full surface — reads and writes. Uses FastMCP, uv for deps.

Exposed as 15 resource-scoped portmanteau tools, not one tool per endpoint — see "Tool registry and the spec" below. A prior version registered all 208 endpoints individually; that blew the MCP context budget (~208 tools × ~250 tokens ≈ 52k tokens just for this one server) and has been retired. Seerr's own domain shape (settings-heavy — seerr_settings_general + seerr_settings_notifications alone cover 82/208 endpoints) means its _GROUPS taxonomy is its own, not shared with radarr/sonarr/bookshelf.

Testing

Offline suite: make test (or uv run pytest)
Live integration (needs SEERR_URL/SEERR_API_KEY): make test-integration
- GET endpoints run against the live instance.
- POST/PUT/DELETE only run when SEERR_WRITE_TESTS=1, as a safe create→delete cycle against a scratch blocklist entry, then cleanup. Never point write tests at a production instance.

Tool registry and the spec

_TOOL_REGISTRY in seerr_mcp.py is generated from the vendored spec at tests/data/seerr_openapi.yml (pinned to seerr-team/seerr develop HEAD 39ff48c650d30ced0516574c55914d0bd26c9983). It lists every JSON-producing endpoint under /api/v1.
Excluded on purpose: the deprecated /blacklist/* aliases (sunset 2026-06-01) — the /blocklist/* routers cover the same handlers. _req JSON-decodes every response.
To add a tool or refresh coverage, regenerate the registry from a newer seerr-api.yml:
```
uv run python scripts/generate_registry.py
```
then splice the printed _TOOL_REGISTRY into seerr_mcp.py, update the SHA in tests/data/README.md/seerr_mcp.py/AGENTS.md, and re-run the tests. Do not hand-edit the registry.
Endpoint function naming (internal, no longer an MCP tool name): seerr_<verb>_<resource> derived from method + path (e.g. seerr_list_request, seerr_create_request, seerr_delete_request, seerr_set_request_status). Flagship/action endpoint overrides and collision fixes live in NAME_OVERRIDES in scripts/generate_registry.py.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
