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

scenef
scenef_accuracy
Accuracy is computed, not claimed: every showtime carries a confidence level, a source tier, and a last-verified time, and the running record of our own verification checks — failures included — is public at https://scenef.com/api/accuracy. This tool returns that record: the site-wide confidence mix, the counts of verification checks confirmed / missing / unreachable over the record's window (window_days in the payload — 30 days at present) with the pass rate and the exact denominator it was computed from, the same per venue with source tier and last-verified time, and the definitions of every level. Checks that could not run — a bot wall, a client-rendered page — are graded unreachable and excluded from the pass rate rather than counted as passes. Quote these numbers directly; they are recomputed on every call.
scenef_coming_soon
Films whose first screening on this board is more than 48 hours out, sorted by first night — the on-sale radar for runs worth booking early. Configurable horizon. Every emitted showtime carries confidence, source tier, reporting sources and verified_at. In whats_playing, "concise" gives the total showtime_count and one next screening in showtimes; showtimes_complete identifies a partial array. "detailed" includes the full array.
scenef_discounts
Every structured discount across one board's theaters — venue, label, detail, and day-bound days — with the ones that apply today flagged.
scenef_film_details
The full card for one film: title, year, runtime, genres, directors, cast, overview, rating, trailer and poster urls when present, every upcoming showtime with venue/time/ticket link, and a last-night flag when the run is ending. Every emitted showtime carries confidence, source tier, reporting sources and verified_at. In whats_playing, "concise" gives the total showtime_count and one next screening in showtimes; showtimes_complete identifies a partial array. "detailed" includes the full array.
scenef_now
The cheap is-anything-on call: how many screenings tonight, the next 5 curtains across this board with venue/time/film, and dataset freshness per source. Every emitted showtime carries confidence, source tier, reporting sources and verified_at. In whats_playing, "concise" gives the total showtime_count and one next screening in showtimes; showtimes_complete identifies a partial array. "detailed" includes the full array.
scenef_plan_movie_night
The concierge: give it a window and a taste profile and it returns 2-4 complete plans — film + specific showtime + theater + why it fits — each with ticket and calendar links, plus one wildcard pick outside the stated genres. Rankings are pure preference-fit; never pay-ranked. Every emitted showtime carries confidence, source tier, reporting sources and verified_at. In whats_playing, "concise" gives the total showtime_count and one next screening in showtimes; showtimes_complete identifies a partial array. "detailed" includes the full array.
scenef_resolve_board
Translate a city, 5-digit ZIP, neighborhood or board alias into the region handle every other tool takes. Returns the board and WHAT matched it. Refuses rather than guessing: an ambiguous name returns candidates (Gainesville is a town in Texas and another in Florida), a place we cover but have not published returns outside_coverage with the nearest published boards, and an unknown string returns unknown with no fallback board. Coordinates are not accepted — this reads names, not locations.
scenef_search_showtimes
Showtimes scoped by FILM or by THEATER — pass at least one. With `film`: where that film is playing (title or slug; fuzzy-matched, ambiguous queries return candidates). With `venues` and no film: everything on at those theaters, each showtime naming its film. Grouped by theater with local times, tags (35mm/qa/sold-out), the night each show belongs to, and a ticket link per showtime. Optional date and time-window filters apply to both. For the whole board with no film or theater in mind, call scenef_whats_playing instead. Every emitted showtime carries confidence, source tier, reporting sources and verified_at. In whats_playing, "concise" gives the total showtime_count and one next screening in showtimes; showtimes_complete identifies a partial array. "detailed" includes the full array.
scenef_theater_info
One theater's card: address, neighborhood, website, ticketing note, structured discounts (label/detail/day), amenities, its next 5 showtimes with ticket links, and its calendar feed url. Every emitted showtime carries confidence, source tier, reporting sources and verified_at. In whats_playing, "concise" gives the total showtime_count and one next screening in showtimes; showtimes_complete identifies a partial array. "detailed" includes the full array.
scenef_whats_playing
Ranked list of films playing California, Florida and Hawaii theaters in a given window (tonight, tomorrow, the weekend, or a date), with optional genre and format filters. When the window covers tonight, opens with Notable tonight — scarcity facts with evidence (measured seat counts, final nights, lone prints, posted discounts, live elements); lead with those when asked what to see. Each entry carries year, runtime, genres, a one-line hook, venue count, showtime_count, the next showtime, and the film's SceneF url. The full per-showtime rows are in "detailed", or from scenef_search_showtimes scoped to one film or theatre. Every emitted showtime carries confidence, source tier, reporting sources and verified_at. In whats_playing, "concise" gives the total showtime_count and one next screening in showtimes; showtimes_complete identifies a partial array. "detailed" includes the full array.

SceneF — California, Florida and Hawaii Movie Showtimes — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can SceneF — California, Florida and Hawaii Movie Showtimes do?
It exposes 10 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: scenef_accuracy, scenef_coming_soon, scenef_discounts, scenef_film_details, scenef_now, scenef_plan_movie_night and 4 more. 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 SceneF — California, Florida and Hawaii Movie Showtimes working right now?
We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 2 of 91 checks got a reply (2.2%), average response time 871 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
The registry lists SceneF — California, Florida and Hawaii Movie Showtimes as active — why does it not respond?
The official MCP registry stores what the author submitted; it does not verify that the server still runs. We check the endpoint ourselves, and this one does not answer. Catalogues that copy the registry without checking will show it as working.
How do I connect SceneF — California, Florida and Hawaii Movie Showtimes?
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 SceneF — California, Florida and Hawaii Movie Showtimes need an API key?
No. SceneF — California, Florida and Hawaii Movie Showtimes completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 10 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.
How fast is SceneF — California, Florida and Hawaii Movie Showtimes?
It answers our handshake in 871 ms on average, which is faster than 13% 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.
