From conversation to your lists
Ask, add, and keep up — without opening the app.
Pick tonight's show
Ask for something short, funny or new from your Next Up. Your AI app reads your lists and suggests from what you already wanted to watch.
Add shows by chatting
Name a few titles and say which list. Show Picker fills in the artwork, where it streams and when the next episode airs, just like adding it in the app.
Keep your lists current
Finished something? Move it to Loved, rate it, archive the ones you gave up on, or recommend it to a group — all in one sentence.
Setup
Connection guide
Show Picker Club runs the connection for you. There's nothing to install from us.
Add the connector
Tap the button, then Add. It opens Claude with the name and address already filled in.
Add to ClaudeOr enter it yourself
In Claude, open Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector, name it Show Picker Club and paste this address:
https://showpicker.club/mcpSign in and choose access
Claude sends you to Show Picker Club. Sign in the way you usually do, then choose read-only or read-and-change.
Try it
Turn the connector on in a chat and ask: “What's on my Show Picker Next Up list?”
Needs a paid Claude plan (Pro or higher). On iPhone, add it on claude.ai in a browser once — it then works in the Claude app too.
If the Show Picker Club app opens instead of a sign-in page, your device is holding an old copy of the app's link list. Add the connector from claude.ai in Chrome instead, which always opens the sign-in page in the browser. Updating the app fixes it for good.
Add the server
Run this once in a terminal.
claude mcp add --transport http showpicker https://showpicker.club/mcpSign in
Start Claude Code, type
/mcp, pick showpicker and sign in in the browser window that opens.Try it
Ask: “What's on my Show Picker Next Up list?”
Open custom connector setup
In ChatGPT's settings, open Apps & Connectors, then Advanced, and turn on Developer mode. Back in Apps & Connectors, choose Create.
Enter the server details
Name it Show Picker Club, paste this address and choose OAuth.
https://showpicker.club/mcpSign in
ChatGPT sends you to Show Picker Club. Sign in, then choose read-only or read-and-change.
Start a conversation
In a new chat, pick Show Picker Club from the + menu and ask: “What's on my Show Picker Next Up list?”
Needs ChatGPT Plus or higher. Menu names move around between ChatGPT updates, and work and school accounts may have custom connectors turned off by an administrator.
Add the server
Run this in your terminal.
codex mcp add showpicker --url https://showpicker.club/mcpSign in
Run the login command, then sign in to Show Picker Club in the browser.
codex mcp login showpickerCheck the connection
Open a fresh Codex session and ask: “What's on my Show Picker Next Up list?” To see that it's there:
codex mcp list
This sets up Codex on your own computer, and the Codex IDE extension on the same computer shares it (restart the extension after setup). A Codex cloud task has its own environment and won't see it.
Add the server
Click the button to add it to Cursor, or open Cursor Settings → MCP → Add custom MCP and add this to
Add to Cursormcp.json:{ "mcpServers": { "showpicker": { "url": "https://showpicker.club/mcp" } } }Sign in
In Cursor's MCP settings, choose Connect (or Needs login) next to showpicker and sign in in the browser.
Try it
In Agent chat, ask: “What's on my Show Picker Next Up list?”
Add the server
Run this in your terminal with the Gemini CLI installed.
gemini mcp add --transport http showpicker https://showpicker.club/mcpSign in
Start
geminiand run/mcp auth showpicker, then sign in in the browser.Try it
Ask: “What's on my Show Picker Next Up list?”
This is for the Gemini command-line tool. The Gemini app on the web and phone doesn't take custom connectors yet.
Find custom connectors
Look for MCP servers, connectors or integrations in your app's settings. Pick a remote (HTTP) server rather than a local one.
Paste the address
Name it Show Picker Club. If it asks how to sign in, choose OAuth; there's no API key to paste.
https://showpicker.club/mcpSign in
Your app opens Show Picker Club in a browser. Sign in and choose read-only or read-and-change.
Any app that supports remote MCP servers with OAuth sign-in should work. Stuck? Email [email protected] with the app's name.

Chat in your AI app. Keep it all in Show Picker.

One connection. Every AI app.
MCP is the standard way AI apps talk to other services. Show Picker Club runs one MCP server, so whichever app you connect, it reads and changes the same lists you see on your iPhone, Apple TV and the web.
Try a conversation
A few things you can ask your AI app.
Pick tonight's show
Short on time or in a mood? Let it choose from what you already saved.
“It's 9 and I've got an hour. What on my Next Up fits, and isn't too heavy?”
Add a pile at once
Heard about a few shows at dinner? Add them all in one go.
“Add The Bear, Slow Horses and Shrinking to my Next Up.”
Wrap up a show
Move it, rate it and leave yourself a note in one sentence.
“I finished Severance. Move it to Loved, rate it a 9, and note that the finale wrecked me.”
Catch up on ratings
Rate the shows you never got around to, one quick answer at a time.
“Go through my Loved shows that don't have a rating yet, one at a time, and save what I say.”
See what your group's into
Compare lists with the people in your private groups.
“What are people in my groups watching that I haven't added yet?”
Recommend to a group
Put a show on a group's Watch Next board for everyone to see.
“Recommend Slow Horses to my book club group.”
Good questions, clear answers
How AI apps work with Show Picker Club
What is MCP?
The Model Context Protocol is how AI apps connect to other services. It lets your AI app use Show Picker Club's tools — read a list, add a show, rate it — on your behalf.
Does the AI live inside Show Picker?
No. You chat in your own AI app. Show Picker Club keeps the lists, so every change shows up in the app on every device.
What can it change?
Only your own shows and groups, and only if you allow changes when you connect. Choose read-only and it can look but not touch.
Can it see other people's notes?
No. It sees your own private notes, because it's acting as you. Other people's lists it sees only through groups you share, and never their notes.
What do I need?
A free Show Picker Club account and an AI app that supports custom MCP connectors. Some apps need a paid plan for that.
How do I disconnect?
On Connected apps, or in the iPhone app's account menu under AI MCP…. It stops working right away. Unused connections expire after 90 days.
Why do I need Developer mode?
That's where ChatGPT keeps custom connectors for apps that aren't in its directory. Whether you see it depends on your plan and, for work accounts, your administrator.
Does this set up Codex cloud?
No. These steps configure Codex on your own computer. A cloud task runs in its own environment and doesn't inherit your local servers.
Does it work on my phone?
Yes. Add the connector once on claude.ai in a browser, and the Claude app on your phone and Mac picks it up.

Under the hood
Everything it can do
The connection acts as you, with the access you have in the app.

It can't join a group for you, rename or delete a group, change your household or touch your account. Connected apps get up to 1,000 changes and 1,000 catalog searches a day, resetting at midnight UTC; reading your lists doesn't count toward either. What's shared and how it's handled: Privacy Policy.
