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 connection provides 8 powerful capabilities that interface natively with Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and other compatible AI platforms. No middleware. No custom integration required.

Collecting artwork assets used to be a painful, multi-tab process.

Right now, if you need art for a new title, you're bouncing between IMDb for posters, Trakt for banners, and dedicated fan forums just for custom logos. You have to copy dozens of IDs, then manually input them into multiple API calls in succession. The result is hours spent debugging which image size belongs where.

With this MCP, your agent handles the entire assembly process. Give it a single ID, and it returns structured JSON containing every type of art—posters, logos, banners, backgrounds—so you can immediately map it to your database fields.

Getting all media assets via Fanart.tv MCP

You eliminate the need for specialized API integrations for every single asset type. You don't have separate endpoints for 'movie logos,' 'show banners,' and 'album spines.' The entire collection is exposed through this one gateway.

The process shrinks to a few lines of natural language code. What used to require three different services, now flows from a single conversation with your agent.

What your AI can actually do with this

This MCP gives your agent access to a massive library of fan-sourced visual assets. Whether you're building a Plex skin or designing an app interface, you don't have to manually hunt down art online. You can ask for specific posters for a film using its TMDb ID, or grab all the show banners and season logos for a TV series by its TVDb ID.

Need artwork for a band? Just give it their MusicBrainz ID, and the system pulls everything from album covers to concert thumbnails. The whole catalog is available through Vinkius, letting you connect your agent once and access this art data alongside thousands of other services. It’s pure asset retrieval—no complex APIs or rate limits, just conversation.

Questions you might have

How do I get a Fanart.tv API key? +

Sign up for a free account at fanart.tv, go to your account settings and generate an API key. Personal keys are free and have a rate limit of 2 requests/second.

How do I find a movie's TMDb ID? +

Search for the movie on The Movie Database (TMDb). The numeric ID is in the URL. For example, Fight Club's URL contains '550' as its TMDb ID.

How do I find a TV show's TVDb ID? +

Search for the show on TheTVDB. The numeric ID is in the URL. For example, Game of Thrones' URL contains '121361' as its TVDb ID.

How do I find a music artist's MusicBrainz ID? +

Search for the artist on MusicBrainz. The UUID is the artist's MBID. For example, The Beatles' MBID is b10bbbfc-cf9e-42e0-be17-e2c3e1d2600d.

If I use get_movie_art with a TMDb ID, what happens if no artwork exists? +

The tool returns an empty array or specific error message indicating no assets were found. This means the film is in the database, but Fanart.tv hasn't cataloged any art yet.

How do I use get_latest_tv to find recently added show art? +

Running this tool returns a list of TV shows and their IDs along with recent artwork additions. This is ideal for discovery when you don't know the specific ID; it lets you check what content has been updated since your last run.

When I use get_album_art, what data fields should I expect in the response? +

The response provides URLs, dimensions, and file type identifiers for all requested art pieces. You will find specific records covering CD covers, disc backgrounds, and spine images, making programmatic mapping simple.

What is the recommended approach for handling rate limits when using multiple tools? +

The MCP handles standard request throttling to prevent service overuse. For high-volume batch processing, check the Fanart.tv documentation for quotas or implement client-side delays between calls.
