cp .env.example .env.local

Edit .env.local:

TRAKT_CLIENT_ID=your_client_id
TRAKT_CLIENT_SECRET=your_client_secret
NEXT_PUBLIC_BASE_URL=http://localhost:3000

3. Run Locally

bun install
bun dev

Visit http://localhost:3000 and click Connect with Trakt to get your access token.

4. Deploy to Vercel

bunx vercel

Set environment variables in the Vercel dashboard:

• TRAKT_CLIENT_ID

MCP Client Configuration

Add to your MCP client config (e.g., Cursor, Claude Desktop):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "trakt": {
      "url": "https://your-project.vercel.app/api/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_TRAKT_ACCESS_TOKEN"
      }
    }
  }
}

For public-only access (no user features), omit the headers block.
