MCP Media Player

You could just watch one episode. Or you could automate the pause button and pretend you have self-control. MCP Media Player connects any Home Assistant media player (TV, projector, speaker, etc.) to the Cursor coding environment. Play media while your agent works; when it's done, so is your break.

Dopamine-driven development, minus the binge-watching.

- Exposes play and pause controls for a media player as MCP tools
- Integrates with Home Assistant's media player API
- Provides Cursor rules for automating playback while the agent is working

- Node.js 18 or higher (for native fetch and ES modules)
- A running Home Assistant instance
- A valid Home Assistant long-lived access token

Copymcp.json.exampleto your MCP config location (e.g.,~/.cursor/mcp.json) and fill in your real values:

{ "mcpServers": { "MediaPlayer": { "command": "node", "args": [ "/absolute/path/to/your/media-player-mcp.js" ], "env": { "HA_URL": "http://your-ha-url:8123", "HA_TOKEN": "your_home_assistant_long_lived_token", "ENTITY_ID": "media_player.your_media_player_entity" } } } }

To automate the play/pause while the agent is working, copy the rules incursor-rules.exampleinto your Cursor rules configuration. This configures a system prompt rule that ensures the play/pause tools are called at the appropriate times.

Or, let your MCP client launch it automatically.
