## Trust breakdown

How this component scores in each security and reliability category. Every signal is checked automatically from public evidence about the published package, including repeated runs of it in an isolated sandbox, and we only credit what we can confirm. Scores are 0–100 per category. Scoring method: https://verifymcp.io/docs/scoring (what has changed: https://verifymcp.io/docs/scoring/changelog)

## MCP tools (10)

### `title_search` (~100 tokens)

Search Watchmode for movies and TV shows by name (or IMDb/TMDb ID via search_field); optionally filter by type (movie, tv_series, etc.). Returns Watchmode title IDs.

Input parameters:

- `search_field` (string): What search_value IS. Defaults to "name". Watchmode REQUIRES this and rejects anything outside the list — notably "title" is not valid.
- `search_value` (string, required)
- `types` (string)

### `title_detail` (~61 tokens)

Fetch full metadata for a Watchmode title by title_id: title, year, genres, plot, runtime, user rating, cast, and optionally streaming sources via append_to_response.

Input parameters:

- `append_to_response` (string)
- `title_id` (string, required)

### `title_sources` (~58 tokens)

Return streaming availability for a Watchmode title_id — which services (Netflix, Hulu, etc.) carry it in which regions, with subscription/rent/buy type and price.

Input parameters:

- `regions` (string)
- `title_id` (string, required)

### `title_seasons` (~47 tokens)

Seasons + episodes for a Watchmode TV show ID. Returns episode count, season number, year. Use after title_search to enumerate a show's structure.

Input parameters:

- `title_id` (string, required)

### `releases` (~102 tokens)

Return recent or upcoming streaming releases on Watchmode; filter by date range, streaming source IDs, content type, and region. Use to track new additions to services.

Input parameters:

- `end_date` (string)
- `limit` (number)
- `regions` (string)
- `regions_pricing` (string)
- `source_ids` (string)
- `source_types` (string)
- `start_date` (string)
- `types` (string)

### `list_titles` (~130 tokens)

Browse and filter the Watchmode title catalog by streaming source, genre, network, type (movie/TV), release date range, and sort order; paginates with page + limit.

Input parameters:

- `genres` (string)
- `limit` (number)
- `networks` (string)
- `page` (number)
- `regions` (string)
- `release_date_end` (string)
- `release_date_start` (string)
- `sort_by` (string)
- `source_ids` (string)
- `source_types` (string)
- `types` (string)

### `sources` (~57 tokens)

Watchmode streaming directory — all sources/services worldwide (Netflix, Disney+, Hulu, Prime Video, etc.) with IDs, name, type (subscription/free/rent/buy), regions, logo. Use as a directory before filtering list_titles by source.

### `networks` (~47 tokens)

Watchmode TV network directory: HBO, FX, BBC, AMC, ABC, NBC, etc. Returns network ID, name, origin country. Use as a directory before filtering list_titles by network.

### `genres` (~44 tokens)

Watchmode movie + TV genre directory: Action, Comedy, Drama, Sci-Fi, etc. Returns genre ID + name + TMDb ID. Use to filter list_titles by genre.

### `regions` (~45 tokens)

Watchmode supported regions/countries for streaming availability (US, UK, CA, AU, etc.). Returns 2-letter codes. Use to constrain title_sources or list_titles to a region.

## Common questions

### What is the Watchmode MCP server?

Watchmode is an MCP server listed in the public MCP registry as io.github.pipeworx-io/watchmode. Watchmode MCP. This page covers its npm package (@pipeworx/mcp-watchmode).

### Is the Watchmode MCP server safe to use?

Watchmode scores 66 out of 100 on VerifyMCP. We found no known CVEs affecting it as of 6 November 2026. It declares no install or post-install scripts. Its build provenance is signed and verified. That is a record of what we were able to check automatically, not an endorsement. The category breakdown on this page shows every signal behind the number, including the ones we could not confirm.

### What tools does the Watchmode MCP server expose?

Watchmode exposes 10 tools: title_search, title_detail, title_sources, title_seasons, releases, and 5 more. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 691 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.

### Is the Watchmode MCP server still maintained?

Watchmode is still listed as active in the MCP registry. We last reached this channel on 6 November 2026. Those dates come from our own scans of the registry and the channel itself, not from anything the publisher announced.

### What licence is the Watchmode MCP server under?

Watchmode declares the MIT licence, which is OSI-approved. That covers the source only, and says nothing about the cost of any service it calls.

### What did VerifyMCP test on the Watchmode MCP server?

VerifyMCP ran 14 checks on Watchmode, covering Known CVEs, Install scripts, Dependency health, Source repository and 10 more. 2 items could not be completed, a gap on our side rather than a finding about Watchmode: Malware scan and Security disclosure. Endpoint Security and Transport & Reachability do not apply to an npm package, so they were not tested. The score does not measure everything, and the scoring documentation lists what it leaves out.
