articles
search_articles

browse
browse_topics

documentaries
search_documentaries
Search and display documentary films in the GuideDoc explorer. Use concise title, director or topic terms and explicit filters. Keep the latest query and filters for follow-ups, changing only what the user requests. Unrestricted searches cover all records. English metadata; audio/subtitle filters remain independent. Pass explorer_id from the active explorer context to update its view.
documentary
get_documentary
Read and display a verified public documentary film in the GuideDoc explorer. Use the numeric ID from current results or selected-film context. Preserve original titles. Pass current filters so subsequent recommendations retain them. Full films open on GuideDoc, with normal access requirements. Pass explorer_id from the active explorer context to update its view.
fetch
fetch
Read a public film URL returned by search. Never returns playback or private data.
The canonical GuideDoc URL is revalidated against the same current public
database gate as WebMCP. Use get_documentary for full public editorial details.
open
open_catalogue
Search and display documentary titles, filmmakers or topics inside GuideDoc.
When this explorer is active, use for bare or ambiguous titles before answering
from another meaning: 'Mon Petit' means query='Mon Petit', not a translation.
Honor explicit translation/unrelated requests. Nonempty queries default to all
documentary records, ranked by relevance; original_title identifies alternate
names. Preserve filters explicitly requested by the user. For no matches, ask
for identifying details; never invent a film. Empty arguments open
all documentary records, newest first. Full films retain normal access requirements.
people
search_people
Find published filmmaker/contributor profiles linked to public documentaries.
person
get_person
Read a published person's biography and only their public documentary records.
recommend
recommend_documentaries
Find and display similar documentaries with reasons in the GuideDoc explorer. For "more like the second one", use the ID at visible position 2 in explorer context. Preserve explicit duration, subtitle and subject filters. Defaults to films available on GuideDoc unless another scope is requested. No viewing history. Pass explorer_id from the active explorer context to update its view.

For duration, subtitle, year and audio filters use search_documentaries.

invoices or support tickets, and never purchases or changes a subscription.

Does GuideDoc Documentary Database need an API key?
No. GuideDoc Documentary Database completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 16 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.
How fast is GuideDoc Documentary Database?
It answers our handshake in 154 ms on average, which is faster than 82% of all working MCP servers we measure. That puts it in the quick quarter of the ecosystem. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
