Search Titles with the MCP Server

The `search_titles` tool finds movies and shows by name. It searches across Netflix, Disney+, HBO Max, and over 200 global streaming platforms directly from your AI client. You just type in a title, and Claude Desktop runs it through the server. You get immediate results showing where that content is streamable, factoring in regional licensing restrictions.

Get Complete Streaming Details

Need more than just a link? Use `get_title_details` to pull all metadata for a title. This gives you the full scope of streaming sources and comprehensive content information. It's perfect if you need to know if a show is available in multiple formats or what specific regions carry its rights.

List All Available Sources

The `get_title_sources` tool lists every streaming source for a given title. It doesn't just give you one link; it maps out all the places where that movie or show is currently available. You can even filter these sources by country using `list_sources`, which helps if your target audience isn't in the US.

Common questions about Watchmode Streaming Availability MCP in Claude Desktop

Claude Desktop uses the MCP Server to check global licensing rights. When you ask for a title, it executes a search across hundreds of platforms and reports back exactly where that content streams in your specified region.

Yeah, the `list_sources` tool lets you see what's out there. You can filter this list by country to get a clean breakdown of all the major content providers in that specific market.

Absolutely. The server accounts for regional licensing. It won't just give you a global link; it tells you if a title is available in, say, Canada but not the US, because those rights are separate.

This server manages streaming availability and content metadata. It handles titles, genres, cast details (`get_title_cast`), and source listings from major streaming services.

Just ask your agent to search for a title's availability. It uses the `search_titles` tool, which runs across all connected platforms via the MCP Server and provides an actionable list of where you can watch it.
