Crunchyroll
This connects Claude to your Crunchyroll account using the same web API that powers the streaming site. You get tools to search anime, browse by genre or simulcast season, manage your watchlist, and track watch progress with playhead positions. Authentication happens once via email and password, then tokens are stored locally and auto-refreshed. Useful when you want to ask Claude for recommendations based on your history, pick up where you left off mid-series, or manage your queue conversationally instead of opening the app. Also exposes subscription details and simulcast schedules. Requires an active Crunchyroll account and handles the full lifecycle from search to updating watch positions.
