Search Titles with the MCP Server

The `search_titles` tool finds movies and shows by name, making it a team-wide asset. When committed to `.vscode/mcp.json`, every developer gets access to live search results across hundreds of streaming platforms. This ensures your whole engineering group uses the same, reliable source for checking content availability.

Get Complete Streaming Details

Use `get_title_details` to pull full metadata into shared team functions. The tool provides granular data on streaming sources and rights information, letting you build accurate models of content distribution. It’s perfect for onboarding new developers who need immediate access to reliable industry data.

List All Available Sources

The `get_title_sources` tool lists every streaming source, which you can commit as a utility function. This allows your team to map out all the potential content providers for any given title. You can also use `list_genres` to standardize how your application categorizes media.
