@ottasia/mcp-server

Where can I watch X in Y? Answer that question, in your AI assistant, for 30 Asian and Middle Eastern streaming markets.

OTTASIA's Model Context Protocol server gives Claude (and any MCP-compatible client) live access to streaming availability across India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, Myanmar, Cambodia, Laos, Brunei, China, Hong Kong, Japan, Korea, Taiwan, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Turkey, Israel, Lebanon, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, UAE, Kuwait, Qatar, Bahrain, Oman, and Egypt.

It wraps ottasia.com, so the same data that powers our website is one prompt away.

Install (Claude Desktop)

Add this to your Claude Desktop config file:

• Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
• Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "ottasia": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@ottasia/mcp-server"]
    }
  }
}

Restart Claude Desktop. The OTTASIA tools should appear in the tool list.

No API keys. No env vars. Nothing to configure.

• "Use the ottasia where_to_watch tool to find Game of Thrones in Japan."

whats_new_on

List the latest titles added to a specific streaming service in a country.

Inputs:

• provider (slug, required): e.g. netflix, prime-video, disney-plus-hotstar, wavve, shahid, viu
• country (2-letter ISO code, optional, default IN)
• limit (number, optional, default 15, max 30)

Example prompts:

• "What's new on Netflix in India this month?"
• "Any new K-dramas added to Wavve in Korea?"
• "List recent arrivals on Shahid in Saudi Arabia."

search_titles

Multi-result search for movies and TV shows. Returns multiple candidates so you can disambiguate before checking availability.

Pass any of these as the provider argument to whats_new_on. The API will suggest near-matches if the slug is wrong.

How it works

The MCP server is a thin client that calls public JSON endpoints on ottasia.com:

• /api/mcp/where-to-watch?title=...&country=...
• /api/mcp/whats-new?provider=...&country=...&limit=...
• /api/mcp/search?q=...&country=...&limit=...

All TMDB data, caching, and per-country provider logic stays on the OTTASIA backend, so your installed npm package never holds an API key.

Alternate transport: HTTP/SSE

If you're integrating from a non-Claude-Desktop client (Claude API, browser-based MCP playground, custom code), you can connect directly to the hosted HTTP endpoint:

https://ottasia.com/api/mcp/sse

Uses the MCP Streamable HTTP transport (stateless, JSON responses). Same 3 tools, same data.

Local development override

To run against a local OTTASIA dev server, set OTTASIA_BASE_URL=http://localhost:3000 in your MCP config:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "ottasia-local": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["/absolute/path/to/this/repo/dist/server.js"],
      "env": { "OTTASIA_BASE_URL": "http://localhost:3000" }
    }
  }
}
