What you can do with TMDB

Each of these is one operation on one endpoint, available both as a workflow step and as a tool an AI agent can call on its own. Nothing bundles several operations into one action, so what a run did stays readable afterwards.

Most endpoints run on the free plan. A few, mainly the ones that publish on your behalf, need a paid plan.

Movie, 3 operations

GETdiscover_movies
Discovers movies with advanced filters.
GETget_movie
Retrieves detailed movie information.
GETsearch_movies
Searches movies by title with optional filters.

Genre, 2 operations

GETget_movie_genres
Gets list of movie genres.
GETget_tv_genres
Gets list of TV genres.

Person, 2 operations

GETget_person
Retrieves detailed person information.
GETsearch_person
Searches for actors, directors, and crew.

Tv, 2 operations

Season, 1 operation

Use TMDB from Claude Code, Cursor or Codex

Connect TMDB in LiveContext, create an API key in Settings, then add the LiveContext MCP server to your client. Its TMDB operations become tools the client can call, next to every other integration you connected.

Claude Code

claude mcp add --transport http livecontext https://livecontext.ai/mcp --header "X-API-Key: YOUR_API_KEY"

Codex (~/.codex/config.toml)

[mcp_servers.livecontext]
url = "https://livecontext.ai/mcp"

[mcp_servers.livecontext.http_headers]
"X-API-Key" = "YOUR_API_KEY"

Cursor, Claude Desktop and other JSON configs

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "livecontext": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://livecontext.ai/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "X-API-Key": "YOUR_API_KEY"
      }
    }
  }
}
