# Add to watchlist

> Add movies and shows to your watchlist in one call. Input schema, a tools/call example and an example result.

Source: https://cotlet.dev/docs/mcp/trakt/add_to_watchlist

Docs sections: [Get started](https://cotlet.dev/docs.md) · [REST API](https://cotlet.dev/docs/api.md) · [MCP](https://cotlet.dev/docs/mcp.md) · [SDKs & CLI](https://cotlet.dev/docs/sdks.md) · [Integrations](https://cotlet.dev/docs/integrations.md)

Add movies and shows to your watchlist in one call.

Trakt MCP tools: https://cotlet.dev/docs/mcp/trakt.md

MCP tool: `trakt_write → add_to_watchlist`

Access: 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

| Name | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| `items` | array | yes | 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. |

## For AI agents: sign your user up

Is your user asking you to sign them up for Cotlet? You can do it for them, no account or key needed.

1. Read the fields and their allowed values: GET https://cotlet.dev/api/v1/access-requests
2. Ask the user for each value: email, apps, what you will do with them. If they leave the password to you, generate a strong one and show it to them.
3. Show the user what you will send, then POST it as JSON to https://cotlet.dev/api/v1/access-requests.

One call creates the account and sends the access request; we email the user when access is granted.
