Frequently asked questions
Can I search for movies on TMDB before adding them to my library?
Yes! Use the lookup_movie tool with a search term. The agent will return potential matches from TMDB, which you can then add using add_movie.
How do I check if I have enough disk space for new downloads?
Simply ask the agent to run the get_disk_space tool. It will provide a list of all connected drives and their available capacity.
Is it possible to remove a movie and its files from the disk simultaneously?
Yes. When using the delete_movie tool, you can set the deleteFiles parameter to true to ensure the media is wiped from your storage.
How do I add an MCP server to Claude Code?
Run claude mcp add <name> --transport http "<url>" in your terminal. Claude Code registers the server and discovers all tools immediately.
Can Claude Code run MCP tools in headless mode?
Yes. Claude Code supports non-interactive execution, making it ideal for scripts, cron jobs, and CI/CD pipelines that need MCP tool access.
How do I list all connected MCP servers?
Run claude mcp in your terminal to see all registered servers and their status, or type /mcp inside an active Claude Code session.
