A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that tracks movies, books, and TV shows, providing intelligent recommendations based on your preferences. Built
Movie Rec MCP MCP server is a locally run integration for AI assistants that speak the Model Context Protocol. A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that tracks movies, books, and TV shows, providing intelligent recommendations based on your preferences. Built with Bun, SQLite (via Drizzle ORM), and supports both local (stdio) and remote (HTTP/SSE).
Setup follows the usual MCP pattern — install or clone the server, register it in your client's configuration file, restart the client. The configuration blocks on this page cover the common clients.
Once Movie Rec MCP is connected, these are the calls the assistant has available:
search_and_add_movie — Search for a movie and add it with auto-populated metadata from OMDBsearch_and_add_book — Search for a book and add it with auto-populated metadata from Google Bookssearch_and_add_tv_show — Search for a TV show and add it with auto-populated metadata from TMDBlist_media — The list_media tool exposed by this serveradd_movie_to_watchlist — The add_movie_to_watchlist tool exposed by this serverget_smart_recommendations — Get intelligent recommendations based on your preferences across all media typesmark_as_watched — The mark_as_watched tool exposed by this serveranalyze_preferences — The analyze_preferences tool exposed by this serverupdate_movie — The update_movie tool exposed by this serverYou will need 6 environment variables: API_KEY, PORT, OMDB_API_KEY, TMDB_API_KEY, GOOGLE_BOOKS_API_KEY, YOUR_API_KEY. The server will not start without them, which is usually why the tools fail to appear on a first run. Keep credentials in your client's env block or a secrets manager rather than in a file you might commit.
This sits in the database access group, where several servers overlap in what they claim to do but differ sharply once you actually set them up. Movie Rec MCP's toolset — search_and_add_movie, search_and_add_book, search_and_add_tv_show and 6 more — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by imjoshnewton; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.
