TMDB MCP Server

This MCP server integrates with The Movie Database (TMDB) API, providing movie information, search, and recommendations for use with applications like Claude Desktop.

Prerequisites include Node.js (v18+), npm (v8+), TypeScript, a TMDB account with an approved API key, and the Claude Desktop application. The server requires macOS or Linux, 4GB RAM, and a stable internet connection.

Features include tools like search_movies (searches movies by title), get_recommendations (provides movie recommendations based on a movie ID), and get_trending (lists trending movies by day or week). It also provides access to comprehensive movie details via tmdb:///movie/<movie_id>.

Getting Started involves obtaining a TMDB API key, cloning the repository, installing dependencies (npm install), building the server (npm run build), and setting the TMDB_API_KEY environment variable. Integration with Claude Desktop requires adding a configuration block to the config.json file. Alternatively, installation can be done via Smithery. Example usages include searching for movies, getting trending movies, and retrieving movie recommendations or details.
