Frequently asked questions
Do I need an API key?
No! TVMaze's API is completely free and requires no authentication. Just subscribe and start searching. Rate limit is 20 requests per 10 seconds per IP.
Can I search for shows by actor name?
Yes! Use search_people with the actor's name to find them, then use get_person_cast_credits to see all shows they've appeared in. This is useful for discovering an actor's complete TV filmography.
Can I check what's on TV tonight?
Yes! Use get_schedule with a country code (e.g. 'US', 'GB', 'BR') to see today's TV schedule. Each entry includes the show name, episode, airtime and network. You can also specify a different date with the date parameter (YYYY-MM-DD).
Can I get episode summaries?
Yes! Use get_show_episodes with a show ID to get all episodes with their season/episode numbers, air dates, names and summaries. Each episode includes the runtime and image URL as well.
How does AutoGen connect to MCP servers?
Create an MCP tool adapter and assign it to one or more agents in the group chat. AutoGen agents can then call TVMaze tools during their conversation turns.
Can different agents have different MCP tool access?
Yes. AutoGen's role-based architecture lets you assign specific MCP tools to specific agents, so a querying agent has different capabilities than a reviewing agent.
Does AutoGen support human approval for tool calls?
Yes. Configure human-in-the-loop mode so agents pause and request approval before executing sensitive MCP tool calls.
