IMDB MCP — title metadata, ratings, episodes, and crew from IMDB's

Part of Pipeworx — an MCP gateway connecting AI agents to 1476+ live data sources.

Tools

ToolDescription
imdb_searchSearch IMDB titles by primary_title (case-insensitive substring). Joins ratings inline so each hit includes average_rating + num_votes. Optionally filter by title_type, year range, or genre. Returns up to limit matches sorted by num_votes desc (popular first).
imdb_get_titleFull detail for one IMDB title by tconst id (e.g. "tt0111161"). Returns title, year, runtime, genres, plus rating (average + votes) and crew (directors/writers as nconst arrays).
imdb_top_ratedHighest-rated titles, filterable by title_type, genre, year range, and min vote count. Use min_votes to filter out obscure titles with inflated averages (e.g. min_votes=10000 for IMDB-Top-250-style lists).
imdb_episodesList every episode for a TV series, in season/episode order. Returns parent series detail plus episode list with title and rating per episode.

Quick Start

Add to your MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "imdb": {
      "url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/imdb/mcp"
    }
  }
}

What this endpoint actually serves

tools/list at https://gateway.pipeworx.io/imdb/mcp returns the tools in the table above plus the shared Pipeworx meta-toolsask_pipeworx, discover_tools, search_within, remember/recall and the rest of the gateway-wide set. So the tool count you see is larger than this table: a single-pack endpoint currently lists roughly 30 shared tools alongside the pack's own. The connection's initialize response states its exact scope, and is the authoritative answer for a given day.

This is deliberate, not multiplexing by accident. The meta-tools are what let a scoped connection answer a question this pack does not cover — via ask_pipeworx, which routes across the whole catalog — without you adding a second MCP server. There is currently no way to mount a pack endpoint without them; if the extra schemas cost you more context than the routing is worth, connect to the full gateway once rather than to several pack endpoints.

Or connect to the full Pipeworx gateway to get every pack's tools listed directly, instead of just this one's:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "pipeworx": {
      "url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Both URLs reach the same gateway and the same 1476+ data sources. The only difference is which pack's tools are listed directly; ask_pipeworx reaches all of them from either one.

Using with ask_pipeworx

Instead of calling tools directly, you can ask questions in plain English — this works on the pack endpoint above as well as on the full gateway:

ask_pipeworx({ question: "your question about Imdb data" })

The gateway picks the right tool and fills the arguments automatically.
