Trakt MCP. Track media progress and discover deep film data.

Trakt's the deal when you need to track media—movies and TV shows—programmatically. Your agent can read deep metadata from this server, letting you do way more than just look up a title. You’ll be able to pull everything from cast lists to your personal viewing history.

Discovery and Searching

You gotta find content fast. Use search to check across the whole library for any kind of stuff—a movie, a show, an episode, or even a person—just by title or name. If you’re curious what people are watching right now, run get_trending or use get_popular to see titles spiking in engagement.

Need something similar? You can run get_related_movies to find films comparable to one you know, or check out get_related_shows for series that share a genre with another show.

Content Deep Dives and Details

When you’ve found a title, you need the stats. Use get_movie to grab detailed metadata for any film, including its overview, runtime, genre list, and poster URLs. For TV shows, get_show pulls up details like the network, status, genres, and posters. To get full context on a series, first use get_show_seasons, which lists every season number, its episode count, and when it aired.

Then, you can drill down with get_show_episodes to list all episodes for a specific season, getting the air date and runtime for each one.

If you need cast info, you’re covered. Use get_movie_people to pull names and job titles associated with a specific movie's crew or cast. For entire TV series, get_show_people retrieves the complete list of cast and crew members. You can get rating metrics for any film using get_movie_ratings, which gives you total ratings, average scores, and vote counts.

Similarly, get_show_ratings returns a breakdown of the show’s score distribution, average, and how many votes it got.

Tracking Your Consumption and Schedule

This is where your agent gets personal. It can check what you've watched in the past using get_history, which gives you a list of content titles you viewed before, letting you filter by type or ID. For current status, get_watched shows you content items you’ve seen, along with play counts and exact timestamps for when you last tuned in.

You can keep an eye on your future viewing schedule using get_calendar, which retrieves upcoming air dates, times, and full show details based on whether you scope it to just yourself or all shows.

You'll also manage what you plan to watch with two key tools: use get_watchlist to pull up every movie and/or show you added to your personal list. And if you want episode specifics for a user, get_show_episodes lists them out for a specific season.

Your AI Client's Power

Your agent can’t just read one thing; it connects all the dots. It uses get_collection to return every item you manually flagged on Trakt, giving metadata and media links all in one place. You can check out everything that's trending right now using get_trending, which pulls up movies or shows currently spiking based on activity and viewing counts.
