bug(seerr_search_media): multi-word queries fail with HTTP 400 (query param not URL-encoded)

Summary

seerr_search_media fails with HTTP 400 Bad Request for any query containing a space. Single-word queries work fine. Since most titles contain a space, this makes the search tool unusable for a large share of real lookups.

Version: @cyanheads/seerr-mcp-server@0.1.0 (installed via npx -y ...@latest) Seerr version: 3.4.1 (Plex media server) Transport: stdio

feat(requests): add opt-in title hydration for request list and status output

seerr_list_requests and seerr_request_status currently render request rows as Untitled because Seerr request objects do not include title fields. That keeps the default list call cheap, but it makes the most common request-review output hard to scan even though each row already carries mediaType and tmdbId.

Proposal

Add an opt-in title hydration path for request-oriented outputs. For example, includeTitles: true on seerr_list_requests could resolve each row through the matchin

bug(seerr_request_media): season 0 cannot be requested when specials are enabled

Server version

Description

seerr_request_media exposes Seerr's specialEpisodesEnabled capability through seerr_service_options, and its seasons description says season 0 (Specials) is excluded unless the instance enables special episodes. The input schema still uses z.number().int().min(1), so seasons: [0] is rej

bug(seerr_request_status): 4K requests derive guidance from non-4K media status

Description

seerr_request_status and the seerr://request/{requestId} resource derive stateGuidance from the non-4K media status even when the request itself is is4k: true. A live 4K request can report mediaStatus: unknown and mediaStatus4k: processing, but the guidance says no download has started.

docs(readme): consolidate and trim the PII/redaction prose

The PII/infra redaction story is explained in at least three overlapping places in the README, with more prose than the feature needs. It reads heavier than the rest of the doc — and frames redaction as a large, configurable subsystem rather than the simple always-on guarantee it actually is.

Where it's covered today:

• The intro "Two properties make it safe to hand an agent" bullet (the long operator email, Plex/Jellyfin tokens, internal service URLs, and filesystem paths… sentence).
• The `

seerr_list_requests always 400s against real Overseerr (sortDirection unknown query param)

Description

seerr_list_requests returns Seerr returned HTTP 400 Bad Request. on every call, including with no arguments at all (i.e. against the tool's own defaults).

Root cause

SeerrService.listRequests() (src/services/seerr/seerr-service.ts) unconditionally sends a sortDirection query parameter to GET /api/v1/request. Real Overseerr's API does strict unknown-query-parameter validation and rejects it:

$ curl "http://<host>/api/v1/request?filter=all&sort=added&sortDirec
