- Enable "Start Automatically" if you want the plugin to start when Highlight launches
From the repository
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.

}Edit .env with your Plex URL and token
Plex Token: Sign in at https://app.plex.tv, click any media item, click the three dots, select "Get Info", click "View XML" (bottom-left), and copy the X-Plex-Token value from the URL bar.
TMDB API Key (Optional): For finding missing episodes and searching for shows not in your library:
1. Create a free account at https://www.themoviedb.org
2. Go to Settings > API (https://www.themoviedb.org/settings/api)
3. Click "Request an API Key" (if you haven't already)
4. Choose "Developer" and fill out the form (you can use "Personal project" for the application type)
5. Once approved, copy the API Key (v3 auth) value (NOT the "API Read Access Token")
6. Add it to .env as TMDB_API_KEY=your_key_here
Important: Use the "API Key (v3 auth)" field, which is a 32-character hexadecimal string. The "API Read Access Token" (JWT format starting with "eyJ") won't work with this tool.
qBittorrent: Make sure qBittorrent is running with Web UI enabled. Default credentials are admin/adminadmin, configured in Tools > Options > Web UI.
