Add to watchlist

Add movies and shows to your watchlist in one call.

MCP tool trakt_write → add_to_watchlist

write

Adds the given titles to your watchlist. A show on its own adds just the show. Titles already on the watchlist are counted, not added twice, and titles Trakt cannot match come back in not_found. The call fails with an account-limit error if the watchlist is full. It reaches no one and remove_from_watchlist undoes it, so it needs no confirmation.

Parameters

Parameters: add_to_watchlist
NameTypeDescription
items array required array Titles to change. Each item is an object: type ('movie', 'show', 'season' or 'episode'), title and year, or trakt_id from search_titles. Seasons and episodes also take season and episode numbers. add_to_history also takes watched_at, rate_titles takes rating.
