TMDB MCP Server provides a bridge between Claude-like clients and The Movie Database (TMDB) API, exposing a set of tools to fetch movie information, search movies by keywords, and obtain personalized or trend-based recommendations. It retrieves comprehensive movie data via the TMDB API and serves it in JSON, including title, release date, rating, overview, genres, poster URL, top 5 cast, director, and selected reviews. The server supports three tools: search_movies (accepts a query and returns a list of matching titles with IDs, years, ratings and overviews), get_recommendations (takes a TMDB movieId and returns top 5 related titles with details), and get_trending (takes a timeWindow of 'day' or 'week' and returns top 10 trending movies). The project uses Node.js and TypeScript, with a setup process that includes obtaining a TMDB API key, cloning, installing dependencies, and building. It can be integrated with Claude Desktop by editing config.json and providing the TMDB_API_KEY, and can be installed via Smithery. The README also outlines error handling, development commands, and licensing.
