Integration

Jellyfin integration

Jellyfin is a self-hosted media server for movies, shows, music, books and live TV. Query the library with the item filters the server itself uses, read and edit item metadata, refresh a single item or a whole library, list and set item images, download an item's original file, browse albums, artists, genres, studios, people, years, trailers and channels, read what is next up, upcoming, latest, suggested or resumable, manage collections and playlists and their members, mark items played or favourite and rate them, run Live TV with its channels, programs, recordings, timers and series timers, manage virtual folders and media paths, read and control active playback sessions, manage users and their policies and configuration, list and run scheduled tasks, and read server info, configuration, storage, logs and the activity log. The host is part of the credential because every install is its own deployment. Authentication is an API key sent in the X-Emby-Token header.

Say what should happen.
The workflow builds itself.

When this happens, do that in Jellyfin.Built from the 147 Jellyfin tools below, on the connection you add once.

What you can do with Jellyfin

Each of these is one operation on one endpoint, available both as a workflow step and as a tool an AI agent can call on its own. Nothing bundles several operations into one action, so what a run did stays readable afterwards.

Most endpoints run on the free plan. A few, mainly the ones that publish on your behalf, need a paid plan.

Use Jellyfin from Claude Code, Cursor or Codex

Connect Jellyfin in LiveContext, create an API key in Settings, then add the LiveContext MCP server to your client. Its Jellyfin operations become tools the client can call, next to every other integration you connected.

Claude Code

claude mcp add --transport http livecontext https://livecontext.ai/mcp --header "X-API-Key: YOUR_API_KEY"

Codex (~/.codex/config.toml)

[mcp_servers.livecontext]
url = "https://livecontext.ai/mcp"

[mcp_servers.livecontext.http_headers]
"X-API-Key" = "YOUR_API_KEY"

Cursor, Claude Desktop and other JSON configs

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "livecontext": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://livecontext.ai/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "X-API-Key": "YOUR_API_KEY"
      }
    }
