You have a JavaScript MCP server that exposes TMDB data through a standardized MCP interface. It lets you search movies, TV shows, and people; fetch detailed item data; and retrieve trending content, all accessible to MCP clients like IDEs or chat bots.

How to use

You integrate this server with your MCP client to access TMDB data. Start the server locally or connect to it from your MCP-enabled toolchain. Use the available tools to search for media, pull detailed information about a specific item, and retrieve current trending content across all media types.

How to install

Prerequisites you need before installation are a recent Node.js runtime and a TMDB API key configured for the proxy you use.

Step 1: Install Node.js (version 18 or higher) and verify it is accessible from your shell.

Step 2: Clone the project to your development machine and move into the project directory.

Step 3: Install dependencies using npm.

Step 4: Set your TMDB bearer token in your environment.

Step 5: Start the MCP server.
