ClaudeClaude CodeCursorVS CodeChatGPT

Pick your app above. We remember it, so next time the button says “Install in …”.

Open Claude Desktop → Settings → Developer → Edit Config, and paste this into claude_desktop_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "smartest-tv": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": [
        "stv"
      ],

  "mcpServers": {
    "smartest-tv": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": [
        "stv"
      ],

Which apps can use it?

smartest-tv

The CLI your TV has been waiting for.

Play Netflix / Apple TV+ / YouTube / Spotify by name. Cast URLs. Multi-room audio. AI concierge. All from your terminal.

한국어 · 中文 · 日本語 · Español · Deutsch · Português · Français

pip install stv && stv play "Frieren"

No TV? Opens in your browser. Got a TV? stv setup to connect it.

😩 Without stv 😎 With stv

Pick up remote
Open Netflix app
Search for show
Pick the season
Pick the episode
Press play

~30 seconds

stv play netflix "Dark" s1e1

~3 seconds

No TV? No problem. Without a TV configured, stv opens content directly in your browser.

Netflix, YouTube, Spotify, Disney+ — just pip install stv and go.

🛋 Vibe-code and chill

Vibe-coding at 2am. Claude writes your code. You tell it to put on a show. It does.

you: play frieren on the living room tv

claude: Playing Frieren s2e8 on Living Room. (3s)

you: bit quieter claude: Volume → 18.

you: good night claude: All 3 TVs off.

Already installed stv? Just tell Claude:

# Option 1 — just talk (zero config)

"run stv play netflix Frieren s2e8"

Option 2 — install the Skill for auto-trigger

clawhub install smartest-tv

now "play Frieren", "good night", "next episode" just work mid-session

Also available as an MCP server (21 tools) for Claude Code, Codex, Antigravity, and other MCP clients.

🎯 Just type `stv`

No subcommand? You get a Now Playing card and three contextual next-actions based on your watch history — not a 30-command help dump.

$ stv "play dark on netflix"     # natural language works

$ stv play "Frieren" # auto-detects platform $ stv next # continue last show $ stv stats # → insights

Unknown input? You get a friendly hint, not an error.

🎨 A CLI that looks like a product

Every command renders with Catppuccin Mocha colors, semantic icons, and real visual hierarchy. Prefer another palette? Set STV_THEME=nord or STV_THEME=gruvbox.

--format json is always available when you need to pipe to jq.

✨ What it does

🎬 Play by name

stv play netflix "Dark" s1e1

stv play disney "Percy Jackson" s1e1 stv play prime "The Boys" s1e1 stv play "Frieren" s2e8 # auto-detects platform

Say the name. stv finds the ID, opens the app, starts playback. Netflix and Apple TV+ resolve via HTML parsing. Disney+, Max, Prime, Hulu, Paramount+, Peacock, Crunchyroll, and [every platform on JustWatch](https://www.justwatch.com/) resolve via their API — no login, no API key. Skip the platform name and stv auto-detects where it's streaming in your region.

🔗 Cast any URL

stv cast https://youtu.be/dQw4w

stv cast https://netflix.com/watch/... stv cast https://open.spotify.com/...

Or via OpenClaw:

clawhub install smartest-tv

Claude: 🎬 Movie night activated. Volume → 20, cinema mode on.

Based on your history:

The Queen's Gambit (Netflix)
