Nothing serious here today
Today is the operative word: we check Movie Scene Map every 15 minutes and re-read its code on every release. Watch it and you find out the day that stops being true.

Read directly from the server with tools/list, grouped by what they act on.
If a tool disappears, we record the date.
locations
locations_near
Lists the filming locations within a radius of a WGS84 coordinate, most famous first, each with its `distance_km`: what was filmed near a point. The radius defaults to 50 km (at most 500). Takes a latitude and a longitude in degrees; it does not look up place names.
search_locations
Finds filming locations by name, optionally filtered by country (a name or a two letter ISO code) and by kind of place. Results are ordered by fame rank, which comes from the most widely covered production shot there rather than from the place itself.
countries
list_countries
Lists every country in the atlas with its number of filming locations, most first. Countries with a page on the site carry its URL. The counts reflect what Wikidata records, which is uneven and skewed to Europe and North America: they are records, not an inventory of world film production.
productions
search_productions
Finds productions by name, ignoring accents and case, best match first, then by how widely Wikipedia covers them. An optional filter by kind: film, tv, game, anime or manga. Each result carries its kind, its year and a `relation` field: films and series are placed where they were filmed, games, anime and manga where they are set.
statistics
get_statistics
Headline figures computed live from the atlas: totals by medium and by kind of place, the top countries, the busiest and the most famous locations, and how many productions Wikidata records only at country level and so cannot place.
top
top_locations
Ranks the places in the atlas, worldwide or inside one country or one kind of place. The default order is fame rank, which comes from the most widely covered production shot there, so rank 1 is the place the most famous production used, not the place with the most credits. With `sort` set to `productions` the order is by number of productions (Los Angeles, New York, Vancouver).
what
what_was_filmed_here
Returns everything recorded as made at a place, most widely covered first. Takes the place as a slug (e.g. "skellig-michael") or as a name. Each result carries a `relation` field, because a video game, an anime or a manga tied to a place is set there, not filmed there.
where
where_was_it_filmed
Returns every place recorded for a film, series, game, anime or manga, with coordinates, plus the countries recorded too coarsely to place. Covers 37,259 productions across 37,350 places. Films and series are placed where they were filmed (Wikidata P915). Video games, anime and manga are filmed nowhere, so they are placed where they are set (P840); the `relation` field of each record says which. A filled `countries_only` list means Wikidata records the production in those countries without a finer place. Places named only in the production's own Wikipedia article come in separate fields prefixed `wiki_`. The data records that a production was filmed at a place, not which scene was shot there.

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 Movie Scene Map 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 186 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
How do I connect Movie Scene Map?
Copy the ready config from this page. We generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each in the form that client actually reads. It is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address.
Does Movie Scene Map need an API key?
No. Movie Scene Map completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 8 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.
How fast is Movie Scene Map?
It answers our handshake in 186 ms on average, which is faster than 75% 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.
Is Movie Scene Map open source?
The code is open source: it is published under the MIT licence, written in JavaScript and 0 stars on GitHub. The licence covers the code in the repository, not the hosted service at moviescenemap.com, which runs on its operator's own terms.
