@striderlabs/mcp-disney

Model Context Protocol (MCP) connector for Disney+ streaming service. Enables AI assistants to search content, manage watchlists, check viewing progress, and get personalized recommendations via Playwright browser automation.

Installation

npm install @striderlabs/mcp-disney

Or run directly via npx:

npx @striderlabs/mcp-disney

Authentication

Authenticated tools (watchlist, profiles, recommendations, continue watching) require Disney+ credentials.

Recommended: Environment variables

export DISNEY_EMAIL="[email protected]"
export DISNEY_PASSWORD="yourpassword"

The connector will cache session cookies in ~/.mcp-disney-session.json (mode 0600) to avoid re-logging in on every invocation.

Notes

• Requires an active Disney+ subscription for all authenticated operations.
• Playwright launches a headless Chromium browser; first run downloads Chromium (~130 MB).
• The connector uses stealth techniques to reduce bot-detection friction, but Disney+ may occasionally require CAPTCHA or 2FA verification.
• Session cookies are stored locally at ~/.mcp-disney-session.json with restricted permissions.
