Quick Start
Option 1: Claude Desktop / Cursor / VS Code (stdio)
Install dependencies:
pip install "mcp[cli]>=1.9.0" httpxAdd to your MCP client config (e.g.
claude_desktop_config.json):{ "mcpServers": { "arrstack": { "command": "python", "args": ["/path/to/arrstack-mcp/server.py"], "env": { "SONARR_URL": "http://localhost:8989", "SONARR_API_KEY": "your-api-key", "RADARR_URL": "http://localhost:7878", "RADARR_API_KEY": "your-api-key", "QBT_URL": "http://localhost:8080", "QBT_USER": "admin", "QBT_PASS": "your-password", "JELLYFIN_URL": "http://localhost:8096" } } } }Restart your MCP client. Done!
Option 2: Docker (HTTP transport)
For remote setups or when running alongside your *arr stack:
git clone https://github.com/ct4nk3r/arrstack-mcp.git
cd arrstack-mcp
cp .env.example .env
# Edit .env with your service URLs and API keys
docker compose up -dThe server runs on port 8000 with Streamable HTTP transport.
Connect to OpenClaw
openclaw mcp set arrstack '{"url":"http://arrstack-mcp:8000/mcp","transport":"streamable-http"}'Connect to other HTTP MCP clients
Point your client to http://<host>:8000/mcp using Streamable HTTP transport.
Option 3: Docker on the same network as your *arr stack
If your media services run in Docker, add arrstack-mcp to the same network:
services:
arrstack-mcp:
build: .
container_name: arrstack-mcp
ports:
- "8000:8000"
environment:
- SONARR_URL=http://sonarr:8989
- SONARR_API_KEY=your-key
- RADARR_URL=http://radarr:7878
- RADARR_API_KEY=your-key
- QBT_URL=http://qbittorrent:8080
- QBT_USER=admin
- QBT_PASS=your-password
- JELLYFIN_URL=http://jellyfin:8096
networks:
- your-media-networkConfiguration
All configuration is done via environment variables:
