Jellyfin Media Server from the Terminal

Query your Jellyfin media library — recently added movies and episodes, search and inspect items, browse library contents, see next-up episodes, and check server stats.

Why Install This Skill

When your agent loads this skill, it can navigate your home media server without opening a browser. That means:

  • See what's new — recently added movies and TV episodes
  • Search your library — find any movie, show, or episode by keyword
  • Navigate your library — inspect search results, browse collections, and page through items
  • See what is next — find the next unwatched episodes for a user
  • Check server details — server name, version, operating system, user count
