What you can do with this MCP connector
You're connecting your AI client straight to Watchmode. This isn't just another database; it's a live feed of global streaming metadata. When you need to know if a movie or TV show is available—and where—it tells ya. It handles the whole mess: whether that title streams, rents, or buys in whatever corner of the world you're in.
You won't waste time hunting through platform-specific sites.
Discovering Titles by Name
Want to know if something exists? You run search_titles and get basic metadata for a movie or TV show just by its name. That’s your starting point. Need more background info on that title? Call get_title_details. That pulls the plot summary, genre data, and all the associated streaming sources into one call.
If you're focused purely on who was involved, use get_title_cast to pull the list of actors, directors, and writers for a specific film or series.
Pinpointing Availability
You need to know where it plays right now? Use get_title_sources. This tool lists every single platform—subscription, rent, buy, or even free—where that title is available. It gives you deep links straight into the service. You can also use get_title_sources in conjunction with other tools to verify exactly where the content lives.
Exploring Catalogs and Platforms
Sometimes ya don't know what you want, you just need to see what's out there. Use list_genres first; it returns an exhaustive list of every genre supported by the whole catalog so you can filter your search properly. Then, run list_titles using that genre or source platform, and it browses massive content catalogs for ya.
You can also use list_titles to filter by region or specific type of content.
Need to check out what's new? Run list_releases. It gives you titles that just dropped or are coming up on any connected streaming service. If you wanna see what services operate in a certain place, run list_sources against a defined country or region; it lists every active streaming provider for ya.
You can even get an exhaustive list of all those available platforms using list_sources, optionally filtering by whether they're subscription-based or something else.
Every tool here works together to solve the one problem: figuring out where the content is, and how you gotta watch it. You run get_title_details for a full breakdown; you use get_title_sources to confirm the exact streaming options; and you hit up list_titles when you wanna browse by genre or region instead of searching by title name.
How Watchmode Streaming Availability MCP Works
- 1 Subscribe to the Watchmode server.
- 2 Request a free API key from the Watchmode site and paste that key into your agent client.
- 3 Your AI agent runs a tool (like
get_title_sources) with specific parameters (e.g., title ID, country code), returning structured data about availability.
The bottom line is: you supply the query and the API key; the server returns actionable, real-time streaming metadata.
Who Is Watchmode Streaming Availability MCP For?
Content Managers who build recommendation engines. Media researchers needing legal access points. App developers building content discovery features. Anyone who needs to know right now if a title is streamable in their specific market.
Uses list_sources and get_title_details to ensure the app's content recommendations are always accurate for the user’s region.
Runs search_titles combined with get_title_cast to build comprehensive, detailed profiles on new or popular series.
Uses list_genres and list_releases to audit market trends by finding out which genres are trending globally right now.
What Changes When You Connect
- Stop guessing if a title is available. Running
get_title_sourcestells you immediately if it's free streaming, or only available to rent on Apple TV this month. - Build smarter recommendation logic using
list_genres. You can filter the entire catalog by genre and then check which specific platforms carry that content vialist_titles. - Audit global markets easily. Use
list_sourceswith a country code—you instantly get an exhaustive list of every streaming service active in Brazil, Japan, or Germany. - Get complete character sheets for your data models. Calling
get_title_castgives you the full cast and crew roster for any title, eliminating manual research steps. - Keep up with content trends by running
list_releases. You can track what titles are newly available across major platforms before they become viral hits.
Real-World Use Cases
Content Curating a New Series Page
A content curator needs to build a comprehensive page for 'The Last of Us.' Instead of checking HBO, Amazon, and Apple TV individually, they run get_title_details followed by get_title_sources. The agent returns the plot summary, genre tags, and a list of all current streaming options in one structured output. Problem solved.
Developing a Country-Specific App
An app developer is launching in Mexico and needs to know which services are viable partners. They run list_sources for 'Mexico.' The agent returns 45+ service names, allowing the dev team to scope out all potential data integrations before writing any code.
Tracking a Franchise's History
A media analyst wants to know every title connected to a specific director (e.g., Christopher Nolan). They use get_title_cast repeatedly, feeding the cast/crew data back into the agent loop until they have mapped out the entire filmography and its corresponding streaming status.
Finding Niche Content by Genre
A user knows they want a 'Sci-Fi' movie but doesn't know which titles exist. They run list_genres first, confirm the correct genre ID, then use list_titles and filter that result to find all Sci-Fi hits available in their region.
The Tradeoffs
Calling details before searching
The user tries to call get_title_sources with a title name like 'Dune' instead of an ID. The API fails because it requires the unique Watchmode ID, not just the common name.
→
Always start by running search_titles('Dune'). This returns the necessary metadata and IDs you need for subsequent calls like get_title_sources.
Forgetting regional context
A developer runs a general query about 'The Matrix' without specifying a region. They get an empty or misleading list of sources because the data is country-specific.
→
If location matters, always call list_sources first to confirm platform availability in that market, then use that context when calling other tools.
Overlooking the full catalog
A user only checks for Netflix availability and assumes all streaming sources are covered. This misses services like regional cable providers or niche VOD platforms.
→
Use list_sources to get a comprehensive list of all available platforms in that country, ensuring you don't miss any legitimate distribution channels.
When It Fits, When It Doesn't
Use this server if your core need is mapping content availability across multiple global services. If you only want a simple list of genres or titles, list_genres or search_titles might be enough. But if you need to know where that title can be watched—and whether it's free/rented/bought—you must use the full set of tools. Specifically, always run get_title_details to get context, then follow up with get_title_sources for actionable results. Don't rely on a single call; this server is built for orchestration. If you are building a global content engine or research tool, this is your primary data layer.

Works with Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and more
The Model Context Protocol standardizes how applications expose capabilities to LLMs. Instead of operating in isolation, your AI gains direct access to external platforms, live data, and real-world actions through secure, standardized connections.
This server provides 8 capabilities that interface natively with Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and any MCP client. No middleware. No custom integration required.
Available Capabilities
Checking streaming availability shouldn't require checking ten different websites.
Today, figuring out where to watch something means opening Netflix, then HBO Max, then Amazon Prime Video, and maybe searching Google just in case. You spend minutes copy-pasting titles, bouncing between sites, and dealing with regional paywalls. It's manual, slow, and incomplete.
With this MCP server, your agent runs `get_title_details`. It pulls the plot summary *and* checks all 200+ platforms simultaneously. You get one clean JSON object that tells you exactly where it is—streaming, renting, or buying—in a single query.
Using `get_title_sources` gives you actionable links instantly.
Manual methods only tell you 'It's on HBO Max.' They don't give you the deep link, they don't specify if it requires a subscription or is available for purchase. You waste time figuring out which account to log into.
The `get_title_sources` tool handles that complexity. It returns structured data containing direct links and source types (e.g., 'Subscription: HBO Max'). No guessing, no clicking through multiple menus—just the link you need.
Common Questions About Watchmode Streaming Availability MCP
How do I search for a title using `search_titles`? +
You provide the title name. The tool returns basic metadata and IDs, which are necessary identifiers to use in subsequent calls like get_title_details. It's always best practice to run this first.
Can I list all streaming services available in a country using `list_sources`? +
Yes. Running list_sources(country='US') gives you an exhaustive, filterable list of every service that operates there, regardless of whether they currently host content.
What if I want to know the cast for a title? Do I use `get_title_cast`? +
Yes, that's right. The get_title_cast tool pulls only the actors and crew details. It keeps your payload clean by separating cast data from general plot information.
Is there a way to browse titles by genre? Which tool should I use? +
You should start with list_genres to confirm the exact genre ID. Then, pass that ID into list_titles to filter and retrieve the corresponding catalog of movies or shows.
What are the rate limits when running searches using tools like `search_titles`? +
The free plan allows 1,000 requests per month. You must first request your API key through the Watchmode portal. This limit applies across all functions, including listing and searching titles.
If I need comprehensive data (plot, ratings) for a title, should I use `get_title_sources` or `get_title_details`? +
You must use get_title_details. While get_title_sources only lists the platforms hosting a title, the details tool pulls rich metadata—including plot summaries, ratings, and deep links—in one call.
How can I filter the catalog of titles beyond just searching by name using `search_titles`? +
Use the list_titles tool for detailed filtering. This lets you narrow down results by type, specific streaming source, or target region to build a curated list of content.
Which tool should I use if I want to track newly released movies and TV shows? +
Use list_releases. This tool specifically tracks titles that were recently added or are upcoming across streaming platforms. It provides a view of emerging content, not just currently searchable titles.
Can I check if 'Inception' is available on Netflix in the US? +
Yes! First use search_titles to find the Watchmode ID for 'Inception', then use get_title_sources to see all platforms where it's available, including Netflix — with direct links.
How do I find all streaming services available in France? +
Use the list_sources tool with region set to 'FR'. It returns all supported platforms in France, including Canal+, Netflix, Disney+, and more.
Do I need a credit card for the API key? +
No! Watchmode offers a free plan with 1,000 requests/month that requires no credit card. Just visit api.watchmode.com/requestApiKey to get your key instantly.
