What agents can do

Stackarr organizes actions around homelab outcomes. The exact list changes with your authority profile and enabled apps.

The setup catalog includes stackarr_get_mcp_connection_kit, so an already-connected agent can produce the correct configuration for another chat client. It can explain or generate a stronger profile, but it cannot install that connection or promote its own running authority.

Set up and understand the stack

  • inspect recommended setup choices
  • prepare and review a setup dry-run
  • read service status, disk use, and active tasks
  • explain common problems and connectivity failures

Manage media

  • search and add movies or series
  • monitor libraries and request missing items
  • review Seerr requests and approval state
  • inspect Plex libraries, sessions, and recent activity
  • refresh metadata or scan a library
  • inspect and operate enabled Jellyfin, Immich, Pulsarr, Maintainerr, Tracearr, RomM, BookOrbit, Bazarr, Lidarr, tinyMediaManager, Recyclarr, FlareSolverr, and Tidarr through named native operations

Run routines

  • combine up to ten named app operations
  • run a routine immediately from chat
  • schedule it daily or weekly without shell commands or arbitrary cron
  • inspect scheduled results in Agent Activity

Manage downloads

  • inspect active, completed, and stalled downloads
  • add a magnet or approved release
  • pause, resume, prioritize, or remove a download
  • inspect indexer health and Arr queues

Operate safely

  • run and validate backups
  • inspect task progress and agent activity
  • diagnose service and database health
  • restart or update the stack with the required authority
  • dry-run restores and migrations before applying them

Why you do not see every action

A new install begins with a small setup catalog. After onboarding, Stackarr loads tools only for the selected services. The observe, manage, admin, and unrestricted profiles narrow or expand what remains.

The app's Automation & Access area shows the exact authority and catalog active for your installation. Apps → Everyday app actions exposes the same focused native operations for manual use.
