A wrapper for TMDB
A wrapper for TMDB. That is what the wizzy tmdb mcp server brings to an AI assistant: the same capability, reachable through the Model Context Protocol rather than a separate app or dashboard.
The wizzy-mcp-tmdb project is an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server implemented in JavaScript that provides tools to search and retrieve information from The Movie Database (TMDB). It allows AI clients to access movie, TV show, and person data through a standardized protocol.
The server publishes 2 tools. What each one is for:
Prerequisites — The Prerequisites tool exposed by this serverSetup — 1. Clone the repository and navigate to the project directoryThe server ships on npm as wizzy-mcp-tmdb, so your MCP client can launch it on demand — there is no separate build step. Add the server block to your client's configuration, restart it, and the tools register themselves.
Configuration is passed through the environment: TMDB_AUTH_TOKEN, YOUR_TNL_PROXY_BEARER_TOKEN. Treat anything key-shaped as a real credential — scope it to the minimum the server needs, and rotate it if it ever lands in a shared config.
Among the file and storage access options, the useful question is rarely "what can it do" but "what does it cost you to run" — permissions, credentials, and how much of your context its toolset consumes. Wizzy TMDB's toolset — Prerequisites, Setup — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow.
