FEATURES

Media library metadata cleanup.

Six acts for local media libraries. Identify, organize, enrich, keep healthy, sync, and talk to it. All local-first, all journaled, all reversible.

Provider lookups across the full metadata ecosystem do the primary work. When filenames are ambiguous, AI Vision inspects a small reviewed frame sample and proposes a structured candidate — every match stays reviewable, every rename undoable.

  • Provider lookup across TMDb, TVDB, Fanart.tv, OMDb, MDBList, AniList, MyAnimeList.
  • Filename parser handles release tags, season/episode markers, year disambiguation, and DVD/VOB inputs.
  • Review queue: every candidate is reviewable before anything moves on disk.
  • Rename history audit trail. Undo any operation individually or in batches.
  • AI Visionsecond-pass identification when filename + provider lookups can't decide.
  • AI Vision credits — one credit per file. Monthly allowance included with Pro.

02ORGANIZE

Movies, shows, anime,
collections, editions, tags.

Typed sources win over filename heuristics. Multi-edition support — theatrical, director's cut, 4K remaster — without duplicates fighting each other. Smart collections, custom tags, and bulk operations let you reshape tens of thousands of titles in a few clicks.

  • Typed sources (movies, shows, anime, music videos, extras) — never just file paths.
  • Multi-edition matrix per title — theatrical, extended, director's cut, 4K remaster, all side-by-side.
  • Smart collections: auto-group by franchise, studio, director, or any saved filter.
  • Custom tags with colors and shortcuts. Tag once, filter everywhere.
  • Bulk operations across thousands of titles — rename, retag, re-identify in one pass.
  • Filter dropdowns for Genre, Year, Certification, Resolution, Completeness, Watched state — built in.
03ENRICH

Studio-grade NFO and artwork,
on every title.

NFO sidecars in the exact format Kodi, Plex, and Jellyfin actually want. Artwork ranked across Fanart.tv, TMDb, and TVDB with full provenance. Overview, General, Artwork, Cast, Extras — all reviewable, all overridable.

  • NFO format-aware: Kodi, Plex, Jellyfin, Emby all happy with the same library.
  • Artwork ranking across posters, backdrops, logos, clearart, discart — with manual override.
  • External IDs to TMDb, TVDB, IMDb, Fanart.tv, MDBList — one click out, one click back.
  • Cast and crew data with cross-title linking. Click a name, see every title they touched.
  • Hosted metadata (Skyhook) — no API keys to manage, no provider quotas to babysit.
  • Subtitle search & download via OpenSubtitles with AI-assisted matching.
  • AI artwork ranking — quality-rank candidates by composition, language, and resolution.

04HEALTHY

Your library tells you
when something's off.

Health detects missing artwork, unmatched titles, malformed NFO, broken hardlinks, and drift between filesystem and database. Duplicates ranked by quality so you know what to keep. Stats and Activity give you the receipts.

  • Drift detection: filesystem ↔ database in continuous reconciliation.
  • Duplicate ranking with codec, bitrate, HDR, and source-quality weighting.
  • Full activity ledger — every rename, every move, every sync, every write.
  • Undo any operation individually or in batches — journaled per field.
  • Stats reporting: storage usage, completion %, codec mix, genre breakdown.
05SYNC

One library.
Every player. Both ways.

Push metadata to Plex, Jellyfin, Kodi, and Emby. Pull watch state from Trakt back into MetaTana with Pro bidirectional sync. Topology view shows exactly what flows where, so you don't end up with conflicting sources of truth.

  • Push to multiple Plex / Jellyfin / Kodi / Emby servers from one config.
  • Conflict detection — MetaTana stays the source of truth.
  • Rename History audit trail across every destination.
  • Bidirectional Trakt sync for watch state and ratings.
  • Hooks & Webhooks for tool execution on library events.
  • Multiple server destinations per integration — e.g. dual Plex, multi-Jellyfin fanouts.

06BMCP SERVERPRO

Or hand it
to your agent.

MetaTana ships a Model Context Protocol server with every Pro account. Point Claude, Cursor, or any MCP client at it — your agent can browse, query, dedupe, organize, and clean up, with the same auth as your account.

  • MCP server — installable from Settings → MCP, one-click config snippet.
  • Same auth, same entitlements — agents inherit your Pro account.
  • Reviewable tool calls — destructive operations require explicit confirmation in your agent UI.
  • Local-first transport — same REST surface the app uses, no extra glue.

Found 3 duplicates in your 4K collection.

Argon 9 — Keep the 4K HDR (38.4 GB). The 1080p copy is missing Atmos and HDR metadata. Frees 8.2 GB.
Vesper Line— Keep both. Director's cut adds 23 min and is the canonical version.
Harbinger — Two identical 4K copies. Already resolved via AI.
