Movie Search Tool

Movie Search Tool is an MCP server that provides search capabilities and video link verification for movies and television series across multiple online sources. Built on the Model Context Protocol, the server allows AI assistants such as Claude Desktop and web applications to discover media content and confirm that discovered streams are active and playable. Media consumers, developers, and AI agents use this tool to query video availability without navigating web scrapers directly. The system supports dual transport modes, functioning over standard input/output (STDIO) for local desktop clients or Server-Sent Events (SSE) for networked environments. Beyond basic title lookups, the server accommodates granular TV queries specifying seasons and episodes, and it delivers automated link health checks individually or in batches to eliminate broken video URLs from client results.

How to install and configure Movie Search Tool

1. Ensure Node.js and npm are installed on your system. 2. Open your client's MCP configuration file (such as Claude Desktop's configuration). 3. Add movies-search-mcp to your mcpServers object: json { "mcpServers": { "movies-search-mcp": { "command": "npx", "args": ["@acwink/movies-search-mcp"] } } } 4. Save the file and restart your MCP client to enable the server. 5. Alternatively, run the tool directly via CLI using npx @acwink/movies-search-mcp for STDIO mode, or pass --sse for Server-Sent Events mode.
