Overview

What is Plex?

Plex is an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that turns an LLM into a movie/TV downloading media manager. It integrates with your Plex library and qBittorrent client, so the LLM knows what media you have and can help find and download what you want. Optionally, it uses The Movie Database (TMDB) for searching and finding missing episodes.

How to use Plex?

Install via skills with npx skills add konsumer/aitorrent and configure environment variables (Plex URL/token, qBittorrent URL/credentials, TMDB API key). Alternatively, add the three MCP servers (plex-info, tmdb-info, qbt-info) to your LLM client’s MCP settings with uvx commands. Use the CLI tools directly with uvx --from aitorrent for quick queries.

Key features of Plex

  • List and search Plex libraries (movies, TV, music).
  • Get detailed show/movie/artist information.
  • View on-deck and in-progress content.
  • Find missing episodes via TMDB.
  • Manage qBittorrent torrents (add, list, search).
  • Automate downloads with RSS feed rules.

Use cases of Plex

  • Ask an LLM what shows you’re currently watching.
  • Have the LLM find and download the next unwatched episode of a show.
  • Fill gaps in your collection (e.g., missing seasons).
  • Automatically grab new episodes as they air via RSS.
  • Search your library for movies by director or collection.
