## MCP tools (4)

### `search_titles` (~343 tokens)

Search television series

Search tvsubtitles.net for a television series by name. The site catalogues television only, so 'media_type' takes 'tv' or 'any' and a film is refused rather than answered with an absence. Each row carries the id the other tools take, the years the site publishes for the show, and the languages it draws a flag for. Pass 'with_counts' for how many subtitles, episodes and seasons the site holds per show: it publishes those three on its catalogue index rather than on the page a search answers with, so reading them costs one further request over a large page, and each counts the whole show. Show ids come from here and are never built by hand.

Input parameters:

- `limit` (integer): Rows to render, 20 by default and 100 at most.
- `media_type` (string): 'tv' or 'any' both search the catalogue, which holds television only. 'movie' is refused, because answering it with an empty list would report an absence this site cannot establish.
- `query` (string, required): The name of a series, or part of one. The site matches on the name alone.
- `with_counts` (boolean): Read each row's subtitle, episode and season counts from the site's catalogue index, which costs one further request over a page of several hundred kilobytes. Each figure counts the whole show rather…
- `year` (integer): Keep only shows whose published years cover this one. When that leaves nothing, the search is reported without it and a note says the year was set aside.

Output parameters:

- `cached` (boolean): True when the answer was served from memory rather than the site.
- `counts_scope`: What the three counts count, when they were read: every season of that show together, which is a different figure from the rows this search served. Null when no counts were asked for.
- `filters_applied` (array)
- `filters_dropped` (array)
- `notes` (array)
- `query` (string)
- `result_count` (integer): Rows rendered here.
- `results` (array)
- `source` (string)
- `total_available` (integer): Rows the site's answer held, before any were rendered.
- `total_counts` (string): What 'total_available' counted: the rows this one search came back with.

### `list_subtitles` (~245 tokens)

List a season's coverage or an episode's subtitles

List what tvsubtitles.net holds for one series. Pass 'id' from search_titles. With 'season' alone the answer is that season's coverage, one row per episode saying which languages hold something, and 'kind' reads 'coverage'. Add 'episode' and the answer is the subtitle records themselves, with 'kind' reading 'subtitles'. Leaving 'season' out reads the newest season, and the answer says which one that was. This server reads the catalogue: each record carries the page to open to download it.

Input parameters:

- `episode` (integer): Name an episode to read its subtitle records rather than the season's coverage.
- `id` (string, required): A show id from search_titles. The site answers an id it does not hold with a page.
- `language` (string): A language from list_languages, by its name, the site's two-letter code, or its BCP 47 tag. Left out, every language comes back.
- `limit` (integer): Rows to render, 40 by default and 200 at most.
- `season` (integer): Leave it out to read the newest season. The answer states which season it read.

Output parameters:

- `cached` (boolean)
- `episode`: The episode read, or null for a season.
- `filters_applied` (array)
- `filters_dropped` (array)
- `id` (string)
- `kind` (string): Which shape 'results' takes.
- `notes` (array)
- `result_count` (integer)
- `results`: Coverage rows when 'kind' is 'coverage', subtitle records when it is 'subtitles'.
- `season` (integer): The season the site served, which it states on the page.
- `season_requested`: The season that was asked for, or null when the newest was asked for.
- `seasons_available` (array)
- `show_name` (string)
- `source` (string)
- `total_available` (integer)
- `total_counts` (string): What 'total_available' counted: the episodes of a season, or the records one episode held.

### `get_subtitle` (~145 tokens)

Read one subtitle's record

Read one subtitle's record on tvsubtitles.net, from an id list_subtitles returned. The record carries the episode it belongs to, the release it was cut for, who uploaded it and when, its size and how often it was downloaded. Six of the site's ten fields are absent on some records, the author on roughly two out of three, and an absent field is null rather than blank. This server reads the catalogue: open 'page_url' to download the file.

Input parameters:

- `id` (string, required): A subtitle id from list_subtitles. The site answers an id it does not hold by sending the reader to its front page, which this reports as an absence.

Output parameters:

- `cached` (boolean)
- `notes` (array)
- `source` (string)
- `subtitle` (object)

### `list_languages` (~208 tokens)

List the languages the catalogue holds

List the languages tvsubtitles.net catalogues subtitles in. Called without arguments it returns the twenty-four the catalogue holds. Pass a show id from search_titles to read the languages that show actually holds, measured over one season and counted in episodes. Each entry carries the name the site prints, the two-letter code it addresses the language by, and the BCP 47 tag where that mapping is certain. Six of the site's codes differ from ISO 639-1 and one of them collides: the site writes 'br' for Brazilian Portuguese, which ISO assigns to Breton. Read this before narrowing list_subtitles by language.

Input parameters:

- `id` (string): A show id from search_titles, to read what that show holds rather than what the catalogue does. Left out, the whole catalogue's languages come back.
- `season` (integer): Which season to measure a show's languages over. Left out, the newest season is read. Ignored without 'id', because the catalogue has no season.

Output parameters:

- `cached` (boolean)
- `language_count` (integer)
- `languages` (array)
- `notes` (array)
- `scope` (string): 'catalogue' is every language the site catalogues, whatever any show holds. 'season' is what one season of one show holds, which is what was measured when 'id' was passed.
- `season`: The season measured, which the site states on the page it served.
- `show_id` (string|null)
- `show_name` (string|null)
- `source` (string)
