"please add the new spiderman movie to the media library." And it magically shows up on the apple tv. <--- the atv app can do this as well, and she doesn't even need to send an sms. just rent or buy the item right there.

"Or maybe you could easily run codex/claude against your media server to help with routine maintenance. Like "hey claude we're a bit low on disk storage. Please find movies/shows that were requested a while ago and are large in size." then if you're happy with the list, ask claude to delete those for you." <--- this is like 2 or 3 commands on the cli. no need to burn tokens (and thus use water and kill rainforest etc) on something so basic

you're correct. However, mom has to pay to buy those things on the Apple TV.

I'm simply explaining why an MCP functionality could be useful for someone who is already using the ARR stack and is considering switching.

if you're thinking about the environment then run an llm on your home server.
