claude mcp add node-csfd-api -- npx -y node-csfd-apiWhat ČSFD does
ČSFD connects an agent to the Czech-Slovak film database. It can search films, TV series, creators, and users, fetch a film or series record, and retrieve user ratings and reviews. Ask it to look up a title or gather details about its creators.
The MCP server runs through npx -y node-csfd-api. The package also includes an API and export tools, while the MCP component handles requests from an agent. Film records can include a title, year, genres, rating, and creator details. This is an unofficial scraper for ČSFD.cz, so changes to that site can disrupt data retrieval.
