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.
