Connects Claude to The Movie Database (TMDB) v3 API for searching movies and TV shows, pulling episode details, browsing trending content, and querying genres and credits. Runs through the Pipeworx gateway, which handles authentication with a shared free API key, so you skip the signup. You get tools like search_movie, search_tv, tv_episode, and trending, or you can use ask_pipeworx to query in plain English and let the gateway route to the right endpoint. Useful when you need film metadata, cast information, or entertainment recommendations without maintaining your own TMDB credentials. Part of a larger gateway that exposes 250+ data sources through MCP.
TMDB v3 MCP.
Part of Pipeworx — an MCP gateway connecting AI agents to 673+ live data sources.
| Tool | Description |
|---|---|
search_movie | Movie search. |

Add to your MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.):
{
"mcpServers": {
"tmdb": {
"url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/tmdb/mcp"
}
}
}
Or connect to the full Pipeworx gateway for access to all 673+ data sources:
{
"mcpServers": {
"pipeworx": {
"url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/mcp"
}
}
}
Instead of calling tools directly, you can ask questions in plain English:
ask_pipeworx({ question: "your question about Tmdb data" })
The gateway picks the right tool and fills the arguments automatically.
