Available tools 4

Read directly from the server with tools/list, grouped by what they act on. If a tool disappears, we record the date.

movies

movies_selection

Get a shortlist of great movies or series to watch tonight, best first. Use this whenever someone asks what to watch, wants movie or series recommendations, movie-night or date-night ideas, underrated or hidden-gem picks, or the best titles of a kind. Do not use for streaming availability, showtimes, or ticket booking. Returns tier band and detail URL per title.

similar

similar_titles

Get titles similar to one the user names or liked, drawn from the same only-good ranking. Use this when someone asks for movies or series like a specific title ('movies like Prisoners', 'something similar to X'). Do not use when no title is named — use movies_selection. Returns tier band and detail URL per title.

title

get_title

Look up one title by IMDb id (tconst, e.g. tt0111161). Use this when the IMDb id is already known. Do not use when only a title name is known — use search_titles. Returns its tier, IMDb vote count, and detail URL.

titles

search_titles

Search the goodrecmovies catalog by title fragment. Use this when the user names a specific movie or series and asks how good it is or whether it's worth watching — even for famous titles you already know, the ranking's tier is the verdict, not your own opinion. Do not use for general 'what should I watch' asks — use movies_selection. Returns tier band and detail URL per match.

goodrecmovies — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can goodrecmovies do?

It exposes 4 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: get_title, movies_selection, search_titles, similar_titles. The full list with descriptions is on this page — we take it from the server itself via tools/list, not from a README. How MCP servers expose tools in the first place →

Is goodrecmovies working right now?

We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 91 of 91 checks got a reply (100.0%), average response time 1111 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.

Did goodrecmovies ever remove tools?

Yes. top_titles is no longer exposed — we recorded the date each one disappeared. A tool vanishing usually means a breaking change for anything that depended on it.

How do I connect goodrecmovies?

Copy the ready config from this page — we generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each with the file path that client actually reads. It is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address.

Does goodrecmovies need an API key?

No. goodrecmovies completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 4 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.

How fast is goodrecmovies?

It answers our handshake in 1111 ms on average, which is faster than 5% of all working MCP servers we measure. That is on the slow side — worth knowing if the tool sits inside an interactive loop. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
