Sonarr Tools

Tools for searching, monitoring, and downloading TV series through Sonarr.

These five tools manage TV series through Sonarr — search for new shows, monitor their status, browse available releases, and trigger downloads.


Search for a TV series and optionally add it to Sonarr for monitoring. Use searchNow=false (the default) to add without auto-downloading, letting you pick a release manually via series_releases + series_grab.

monitorstringNoMonitor strategy. One of "all", "future", "missing", "none", "firstSeason", "lastSeason". Defaults to "all".

qualitystringNoQuality profile name. One of "Any", "SD", "HD-720p", "HD-1080p", "Ultra-HD", "HD - 720p/1080p". Defaults to "HD-1080p".

series_releases

Search available torrent releases for an episode or season. You can pass seriesId + seasonNumber + episodeNumber to look up a specific episode (the tool resolves the internal episodeId automatically). seriesId can be a Sonarr ID or tvdbId — both are auto-resolved.

episodeNumbernumberNoEpisode number within the season (e.g. 6 for S04E06). Requires seriesId and seasonNumber.

At least one of these combinations is required: episodeId alone, seriesId + seasonNumber, or seriesId + seasonNumber + episodeNumber.

“Search for releases for episode 1504.”

“Find available downloads for Severance season 2.”

“Show releases for series 5, season 4, episode 6.”
