Movies Search Tool

Movies Search Tool is an MCP server that provides search capabilities and link validation for movies and TV shows across multiple video streaming sources. It connects AI assistants directly to web video indexes, allowing them to locate specific titles and confirm whether streaming links are playable. Developers, media researchers, and end users using MCP-compatible AI clients can query titles without leaving their assistant workflow. The server exposes two dedicated functions: one for locating films or specific television seasons and episodes, and another for performing single or batch URL validation on discovered streams. It supports communication over standard input/output (STDIO) for local desktop applications as well as Server-Sent Events (SSE) for web-based server integrations. By automating the verification of video URLs, Movies Search Tool enables language models to filter out dead links and return functional playback resources to users.
