Connects Claude to the TVMaze API for querying TV show data without authentication. The source shows one tool (search_people for finding actors by name with details like country, birthday, and images), though the description suggests broader episode and schedule metadata is available. Part of the Pipeworx gateway ecosystem, which hosts 673+ data sources and offers an ask_pipeworx natural language interface as an alternative to direct tool calls. Useful when you need Claude to answer questions about TV shows, cast information, or programming schedules. Available as a standalone server or through the full Pipeworx gateway. Runs over streamable HTTP transport.
TVMaze MCP — TV show metadata, episodes, schedules (no auth)
Part of Pipeworx — an MCP gateway connecting AI agents to 673+ live data sources.
| Tool | Description |
|---|---|
search_people | Search actors / people by name. Returns id, name, country, birthday, gender, image. |
Add to your MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.):
{
"mcpServers": {
"tvmaze": {
"url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/tvmaze/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 Tvmaze data" })
The gateway picks the right tool and fills the arguments automatically.
