Movie List MCP Server

MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that lets you search Tamil movies by name and get their page links from moviesdatamil.net/tamil-2026-movies/.

What it does

• Tool: search_movie – Search by movie name (partial, case-insensitive). Returns the movie page URL(s).

Setup

npm install
npm run build

Run

npm start
# or for development with tsx:
npm run dev

The server uses stdio transport (stdin/stdout), so it is intended to be run as a subprocess by an MCP client (e.g. Cursor, Claude Desktop).

Use in Cursor

1. Open Cursor Settings → Cursor Settings → MCP (or edit the MCP config file).
2. Add this server to your MCP config (e.g. ~/.cursor/mcp.json or the path Cursor shows):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "movielist": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["/Users/manikandan/Desktop/movielist/dist/index.js"]
    }
  }
}

Replace the path with the absolute path to your movielist/dist/index.js.

3. Restart Cursor or reload MCP servers.
4. In chat, you can ask: “Search for the movie Jockey” or “Get the link for Fourth Floor movie” – the assistant will use the search_movie tool and return the movie link.

Use in Claude Desktop

In Claude Desktop → Settings → Developer → Edit Config, add:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "movielist": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["/ABSOLUTE/PATH/TO/movielist/dist/index.js"]
    }
  }
}

Restart Claude Desktop and use the MCP; you can then ask for movie links by name.

Debug with MCP Inspector

npx @modelcontextprotocol/inspector node dist/index.js

This opens a UI where you can call search_movie with a name and see the response.
