jellyfin-library-catalog

jellyfin-library-catalog is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Knuckles-Team/jellyfin-mcp. It costs 154 tokens per session (1,068 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A coding-agent add-on for searching and browsing a Jellyfin media library, a collection managed by the self-hosted Jellyfin media server.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps list or filter library items, fetch an item by ID, find resumable items, inspect collections, and resolve titles to item IDs.
Why use it?
It helps find movies, shows, episodes, music, books, collections, and user views without dealing with Jellyfin's raw requests directly.

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.

Security

Grade A, and why

jellyfin-library-catalog 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 12d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 90 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Jellyfin Library Catalog

Domain-typed browse/search over a Jellyfin library through the jellyfin_library condensed tool. Prefer it over raw HTTP — it action-routes directly to the library client methods and returns Jellyfin item-shaped records.

When to use

  • List / filter library items (get_items) by type, parent folder, genre, year.
  • Fetch a single item by id (get_item) or resume list (get_resume_items).
  • Inspect collections (get_collections) and user views (get_user_views).
  • Resolve a title to an item id via search hints (get_search_hints).

When NOT to use

  • Streaming, playback control, artists, playlists → jellyfin-media-playback.
  • Users, API keys, backups, server config → the jellyfin_system tool.
  • Ingesting the catalog into the KG → jellyfin-kg-ingestion.

Prerequisites & environment

Connect via the mcp-client skill against the jellyfin-mcp MCP server.

Variable Required Notes
JELLYFIN_URL Base server URL (e.g. https://jelly.host)
JELLYFIN_API_KEY / JELLYFIN_TOKEN X-Emby-Token API key
JELLYFIN_USER_ID optional Default user_id for user-scoped reads
JELLYFIN_VERIFY_SSL optional TLS verification toggle

MCP_TOOL_MODE (condensed|verbose|both) selects the condensed surface used below vs. the one-to-one verbose tools.

Tools & actions

Prefer the condensed tool; it takes action + a params_json JSON string whose keys map straight to the client method kwargs.

Condensed tool Actions
jellyfin_library get_items, get_item, get_resume_items, get_collections, create_collection, add_to_collection, remove_from_collection, get_user_views, get_search_hints, get_latest_media, get_genres, get_studios, get_persons

Key parameters

  • include_item_types — e.g. ["Movie","Series","Audio","Book"].
  • parent_id — scope to one library/folder; recursive: true to walk children.
  • user_id — user-scoped reads (playstate, favorites); defaults to env.
  • search_term / fields / limit / start_index — filtering + pagination.
  • item_id — required for get_item.

Changes

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.
