Manual setup 11 tools

Overview

Film & Series connects your AI client to The Movie Database (TMDB) for movie and TV metadata: search titles and people, fetch details and seasons, browse trending/discover lists, and look up streaming watch providers.

This product uses TMDB and the TMDB APIs but is not endorsed, certified, or otherwise approved by TMDB.

Prerequisites

  • A stackgate.ai account
  • Optional: your own free TMDB API key for BYOK (bypasses the shared hub daily quota)

Getting credentials

  1. Open Integrations → Film & Series.
  2. Click Activate — stackgate.ai can use a shared hub TMDB key so you can start immediately.
  3. Optional: in TMDB Settings → API, copy your API Key and paste it into the integration settings for higher personal usage (BYOK).

No OAuth connect flow is required.

Using with AI clients

  • Dedicated endpoint: POST /mcp/film-series
  • Private gateway: film-series__* tools (e.g. film-series__search_multi)

Connect through stackgate.ai like your other cloud integrations — HTTP MCP endpoint or private gateway with your API token. No local install.

Typical workflow: search multi → get movie / TV series details → season episodes or watch providers → trending/discover when exploring.

Poster and still paths from TMDB are relative; prefix with https://image.tmdb.org/t/p/w500 (or w780 / original).

Troubleshooting

  • Hub quota exceeded (429) — daily fair-use limits apply on the shared hub TMDB key. Wait until tomorrow or add your own TMDB API key in integration settings.
  • Invalid API key (401) — check the hub key or your BYOK key under TMDB API settings.
  • Resource not found (404) — verify the TMDB movie, series, season, or person ID from a search result.
  • Rate limit (429) — TMDB asks clients to stay respectful (~40 requests/second soft limit). Reduce request frequency.
  • Attribution — when building products on this data, follow TMDB API Terms and logos & attribution.
