## What it does

This server gives AI assistants tools to search media streams using MoonTV and LunaTV catalogs. It queries remote sources, retrieves playable addresses, and relays playback commands to screens on your home network.

You can run the package using `uvx mcp-vods` or deploy it in a Docker container on port 8821. It queries up to 10 source sites per request and keeps query results in cache for 5 minutes. Custom stream configurations can be attached with the `VOD_CONFIG_URL` environment variable.

Remote playback depends entirely on your local network layout. Xiaomi screens need an IP address set via `MITV_LOCAL_IP` or `MITV_LIST_CFG`. Other Android devices must have the TvBox app installed, otherwise streaming commands fail.

## Requirements
- Needs: Python and uv (commands run via uvx)
- Environment variables: `TRANSPORT` — keys and tokens: ask the human for the values, never commit them or put them in shared files.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

**Platform CLI**
```bash
claude mcp add --env TRANSPORT=<TRANSPORT> --transport stdio mcp-server-for-binge-watch -- uvx mcp-vods
```
Replace <…> with your own values. uvx runs the command named after the package; if the README names another one, use uvx --from mcp-vods <command>

### Codex

**Platform CLI**
```bash
codex mcp add mcp-server-for-binge-watch --env TRANSPORT=<TRANSPORT> -- uvx mcp-vods
```
Replace <…> with your own values. uvx runs the command named after the package; if the README names another one, use uvx --from mcp-vods <command>

### Cursor

**Config file**
File `.cursor/mcp.json`:
```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "mcp-server-for-binge-watch": {
            "command": "uvx",
            "args": [
                "mcp-vods"
            ],
            "env": {
                "TRANSPORT": "<TRANSPORT>"
            }
        }
    }
}
```
Replace <…> with your own values. uvx runs the command named after the package; if the README names another one, use uvx --from mcp-vods <command>

### GitHub Copilot

**Config file**
File `.vscode/mcp.json`:
```json
{
    "servers": {
        "mcp-server-for-binge-watch": {
            "type": "stdio",
            "command": "uvx",
            "args": [
                "mcp-vods"
            ],
            "env": {
                "TRANSPORT": "<TRANSPORT>"
            }
        }
    }
}
```
Replace <…> with your own values. uvx runs the command named after the package; if the README names another one, use uvx --from mcp-vods <command>

### Gemini CLI

**Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini mcp add -e TRANSPORT=<TRANSPORT> mcp-server-for-binge-watch uvx mcp-vods
```
Replace <…> with your own values. uvx runs the command named after the package; if the README names another one, use uvx --from mcp-vods <command>
