In the title one-dimensional coordination polymer, [Ag2(NCS)2(C3H5N3S)2]n, the AgI atom adopts a distorted tetrahedral AgNS3 geometry. Adjacent AgI atoms in the [001] chain are alternately linked by pairs of bridging 4-methyl-1H-1,2,4-triazole-3(4H)-thione (Hmptrz) ligands (via their S atoms) and double thiocyanate bridges linking through both S and N atoms (μ-1,3-SCN). An intrachain N—HN hydrogen bond occurs between the NH group of the triazole ring and the N atom of the thiocyanate bridging ligand. A (101) sheet structure arises from interchain SN short contacts [3.239 (3) Å] involving the thiocyanate S atom and the triazole-ring N atom and possible very weak π–π stacking [centroid–centroid separation = 4.0762 (18) Å] between the triazole rings.
