Available components
How this component scores in each security and reliability category. Every signal is checked automatically against the live server, and we only credit what we can confirm. How we score → Why this is hard to score →
Endpoint Security57
- The endpoint's TLS certificate is valid, in date, and uses a strong key. View diagnostics → Pass
- Authorisation not fully verified: no authorisation is required to call this server, and 1 tool(s) never declared a destructiveHint. The MCP spec treats an absent hint as destructive by default, so we cannot call this surface safe. See how to fix → View diagnostics → Unverified
- HTTPS is enforced; there's no plaintext access path. View diagnostics → Pass
- HSTS check failed: the Strict-Transport-Security header is absent. See how to fix → View diagnostics → Fail
- DNSSEC check failed: this domain isn't protected by DNSSEC. See how to fix → View diagnostics → Fail
Transport & Reachability100
- Verified streamable-http transport via a live MCP handshake. View diagnostics → Pass
Schema Quality & AI Usability81
- AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).Pass
- Tool/resource definitions use about 283 tokens (~141/item across 2 items; 2 tools + 0 resources), lean.Pass
- Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples. See how to fix → Fail
Stability & Change Management100
- No destabilizing schema changes in the last 30 days.Pass
Tool Coverage100
- 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).Pass
- 100% of tool parameters carry a description.Pass
Tool Safety100
- No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.Pass
- We read all 2 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.Pass
- An AI judge read all 3 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it.Pass
Capabilities100
- Implements a supported MCP spec version (2025-11-25); the latest is 2026-07-28.Pass
How do I install the zinema MCP server?
zinema is a hosted endpoint at https://zinema.tv/mcp, so there is nothing to install locally. Ready-made configuration for Claude, Cursor, VS Code, Codex and 5 more is on this page, copied from each client's own documentation.

Every change we have recorded for this component, newest first. Security-relevant changes are always shown. ▲ marks a change for the better, ▼ a change for the worse; unmarked changes are neutral.
- 30 Aug 26 0
- Stability: 0.97 → pass security
- 29 Aug 26 +1
No change was recorded against any check on this day. Stability & Change Management went from 93 to 97. That category is still filling its 30-day observation window: 28 days of observed history at the previous scan, 29 at this one. The score rises as the window fills, whether or not the server changes.

The tools this component advertises to a client, with an estimated token cost for each. Expand a tool to see its parameters and schema. The per-tool counts are indicative and are not scored directly; the schema's total context footprint is one signal in Schema Quality & AI Usability. A tool's description is untrusted text the model reads on every call, which is what makes this list a security surface and not just an inventory: how tool poisoning works →
create_list Create a playable trailer list ~175
Turn your movie/TV recommendations into a playable trailer page on zinema.tv and share the link with the user. Each title plays as a full trailer the user can scroll, like a personal cinema session. Links are permanent and free. Returns per-title resolution (echo of what matched, so you can catch mix-ups) and playability. Use it whenever you recommend movies or shows: a page that PLAYS beats a text list.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| items | array | yes | Your recommended titles, in the order you want them to play. |
| language | string | yes | Language of your conversation with the user. Drives trailer language (original-with-subtitles when no dub exists), page wording and localized titles. |
| title | string | – | Optional page title, e.g. 'Slow-burn thrillers for tonight'. Plain text, no URLs. |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
get_list Check a list's playability ~68
Check a zinema list you created earlier: which titles play now. A title that was 'pending' may have become 'playable' (its trailer gets acquired automatically) or 'no_trailer' (none exists anywhere).
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| code | string | yes | The list code returned by create_list. |
