Connect Fanart.tv MCP to Cline
Create your Vinkius account to connect Fanart.tv to Cline and route execution through our secure gateway. The platform manages server hosting, runtime updates, and security layers. Configuration requires no manual server provisioning.
Automate asset mapping with Cline
Cline uses these tools to build your frontend. It calls `get_movie_art` or `get_tv_art` to retrieve URLs and injects them directly into your component templates. You don't manually copy URLs anymore. The agent writes the code to handle the response data correctly.
Pull HD media art for display
High-resolution displays require clean assets. Cline uses `get_tv_art_hd` to ensure your media center looks sharp on any screen. The agent handles the logic for different aspect ratios and resolutions. It pulls the best version available for your specific TVDb ID.
Keep your music library updated
Use `get_latest_music` to find new artist profiles. Cline fetches the latest artist thumbs and banners to keep your music player interface updated. It handles the MusicBrainz IDs for you. You tell it to refresh the library, and it pulls the latest assets from the server.
