dashbrr-mcp

MCP server exposing Dashbrr's REST API as tools, so an LLM can read and manage a dashbrr instance: configured services, per-service health, and the summary panels for autobrr, Plex, Jellyfin, Sonarr, Radarr, Lidarr, Readarr, Prowlarr, Overseerr, Traefik, Bazarr, SABnzbd, NZBGet, Uptime Kuma, Maintainerr, and Tailscale. Write tools cover settings management, download-queue deletes, Overseerr approvals, UI preferences, and the Plex auth PIN flow.

Built with FastMCP.

Auth

Dashbrr uses session auth, not an API key. Two ways to use this server:

  • Run dashbrr with DASHBRR_AUTH_BYPASS=true — the API treats any caller as the builtin user. Set DASHBRR_API_KEY to any value (or leave it unset; the server still starts and no auth header is sent).

  • Obtain a session token (e.g. extract the dashbrr_user_session cookie after logging in to the UI) and set DASHBRR_API_KEY to it — it is sent as Authorization: Bearer <token>.

Install

Download a wheel from the latest release and install it as a uv tool (no repo checkout needed):

uv tool install dashbrr_mcp-*.whl

This puts a dashbrr-mcp command on your PATH. Register it with Claude Code:

claude mcp add dashbrr \
  --env DASHBRR_URL=https://your-dashbrr-host \
  --env DASHBRR_API_KEY=<token-or-empty> \
  -- dashbrr-mcp

From source

uv sync
cp .env.example .env   # fill in DASHBRR_URL and optionally DASHBRR_API_KEY
claude mcp add dashbrr \
  --env DASHBRR_URL=https://your-dashbrr-host \
  --env DASHBRR_API_KEY=<token-or-empty> \
  -- uv run --directory /path/to/dashbrr-mcp dashbrr-mcp

Config

Env var

Required

Default

DASHBRR_URL

yes

-

DASHBRR_API_KEY

no

none (no auth header sent; requires DASHBRR_AUTH_BYPASS=true on the instance)

Tools

One tool per Dashbrr API endpoint. Per-service tools take instance_id, the type-prefixed instance id from dashbrr_list_settings (e.g. sonarr-1, plex-main, autobrr-0).

dashbrr_set_ui_preference_collapse

dashbrr_set_overseerr_request_status takes status as the literal string 2 (approve) or 3 (decline). Queue deletes only send options (remove_from_client, blocklist, skip_redownload, change_category) when set to true. dashbrr_save_settings omits api_key when blank so the stored key is retained on update.

Development

make help  # list all commands

Command

Does

make sync

uv sync

make test

Offline tests - one per endpoint, mocked HTTP

make test-integration

Tests against the live instance (needs DASHBRR_URL/DASHBRR_API_KEY)

make build

Build wheel + sdist into dist/

make bump-patch / bump-minor / bump-major

Bump the version in pyproject.toml + uv.lock

make clean

Remove build artifacts

The release workflow (.github/workflows/release.yml) builds and publishes to Releases whenever a v* tag is pushed - so the usual flow is make bump-patch, commit, then tag and push.

The integration suite is read-only and never writes to your instance.
