This TMDB MCP server provides integration with The Movie Database API for accessing movie, TV show, and entertainment industry data through ten specialized tools including search functionality, detailed information retrieval, trending content discovery, and people lookup capabilities. Built with TypeScript using Express and Axios, it features dual deployment modes with both standard MCP protocol support via stdin/stdout communication and HTTP server mode for web-based integrations, plus Docker containerization and comprehensive error handling for TMDB API responses.
