TVMaze MCP. Track episode guides and compile full media metadata.

You hook up your AI client and you get straight access to the world’s TV show database. You don’t gotta worry about API keys or writing complicated code; you just ask what you need, and we handle the data pull.

Finding Shows and People:
When you only remember a piece of a title—like 'the show with the blue car'—you run search_shows. It gives you a ranked list of potential matches right away. If you know exactly what you’re looking for, you can use single_search to get the most likely result and everything embedded in it, like episodes or cast details.

Need to find an actor or writer? You use search_people. It searches by name, even if your spelling's rough, and hands you back a bunch of options with photos attached. If you know the person’s numeric ID, get_person pulls up their whole file: bio, birthplace, and all their external IDs.

Getting Show Details:
You wanna know everything about a series? You run get_show(id). That gives you core metadata for a TV show—the genres, the network that aired it, its status, runtime, and those crucial external IDs like IMDb. If you want to see every season a show ran through, you use get_show_seasons, which lists the number, the name, the premiere date, and what network handled it.

For the actual episode list, check out get_show_episodes(id); this gives you all episodes for a series with their season/episode numbers, air dates, and summaries. If you need more specific info on just one installment, use get_episode(id). That pulls up the name, season number, air date, summary, and runtime for that single episode.

Tracking Cast and Crew:
Want to see who played what? You run get_show_cast(id), and it returns a list of every star in the show along with their character role. To track an actor’s career—every gig they ever did—you use get_person_cast_credits(id). This tool lists every single show, every character they played, and how many episodes they appeared in across their whole life.

If you're curious about the people behind the scenes—the writers or directors—use get_show_crew(id) to get those key production staff details, including their name, role type, and specific credits.

Scheduling and Media:
Need to know what’s on TV? You run get_schedule to check the airtime for a specific date you pick, plus you gotta give it a country code (like 'US'). If you want all the known future episodes across multiple shows and networks, use get_full_schedule. That's handy because you can even filter it by country code.

You can pull up posters or banners for any show using get_show_images(id).

The Bottom Line:
You don't have to manually cross-reference sources or deal with flaky APIs. You just connect your agent, and you get direct access to all this data. It’s everything from finding a specific character role on one episode—using get_episode(id)—to charting an actor's entire career through get_person_cast_credits(id). If it's TV-related, you can pull the info with your agent.
