Integration

Overseerr integration

Overseerr is a self-hosted request manager for a Plex library, backed by Radarr and Sonarr. The v1 REST API drives the same operations as its web UI: search TMDB for movies, series and people, browse discover feeds (trending, upcoming, by genre, studio, network, keyword or language) and watch providers, read movie and series details with recommendations, similar titles, ratings, seasons and credits, create requests and approve, decline or retry them, read and update the media records those requests produce, file and comment on issues, manage users with their quotas, permissions, watchlists and per-user notification settings, read the Radarr and Sonarr servers Overseerr is wired to along with their quality profiles and root folders, and read application settings, jobs, logs and status. Point the credential at your own Overseerr host and authenticate with the API key from Settings > General.

Say what should happen.
The workflow builds itself.

When this happens, do that in Overseerr.Built from the 107 Overseerr tools below, on the connection you add once.

What you can do with Overseerr

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 Overseerr from Claude Code, Cursor or Codex

Connect Overseerr in LiveContext, create an API key in Settings, then add the LiveContext MCP server to your client. Its Overseerr 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"
      }
    }
  }
}
