Cantinarr Media Results MCP App

MCP App · UI in chat

from"windoze95"

Cantinarr is a self-hosted media request and server-management application. Its MCP server links media-capable tools to ui://cantinarr/media-results.html and publishes the CSP metadata required by compliant MCP Apps hosts.

Not for: A hosted streaming service. You operate Cantinarr and connect your own media services; authentication and household access remain your responsibility.
