Requests go through mcptry because browsers can't call most MCP servers directly. Header values are sent to the server for that request only and are never stored or logged.

Tool list from our last check. Connect live to refresh it.

find_similar_in_feel Read-only

Titles that feel like a given film, TV series, book or game — matched on Boxlist's taste dimensions, story themes and subjects, not just genre or cast — across all four media or only the ones you choose. Each result says what it shares with the starting title. Good for "I loved X, what next?" and cross-media asks like "a book that feels like Succession".

titlestring, required

The title to start from: a name, a boxlist.com URL, or a `ref` from another Boxlist tool.

limitinteger

How many titles (1-5, default 5).

mediaarray

Media to suggest from. Omit for all four (films, TV, books, games). Use ["book"] for "what should I read next".

titleMediastring

Medium of the starting title, when the name is shared (e.g. "book" for Dune the novel).

get_title_taste_profile

How a film, TV series, book or video game feels, in plain words: its scores on Boxlist's ten taste dimensions (pace, originality, wholesomeness, weightiness, realism, intricacy, linearity, style, scale, emotional punch), its story themes and the Taste Type it suits. For films and TV it adds where to watch in the UK and US; for games, platforms and stores. Use it to explain why someone might or might not enjoy a title.

match_for_two

Find titles two people will both enjoy, from one to five titles each of them loves. Blends their two Taste Fingerprint™ profiles the way Boxlist's Watch together does, skips anything either is likely to dislike, and returns picks with a band for the pair and for each person, plus where their tastes agree and differ. Defaults to films and TV; books and games can be added. Anonymous, nothing stored.

read-only

Argument	Type	Description
limit	integer	How many picks (1-5, default 5).
media	array	Same as suggestFrom (either name works).
personA*	object
personB*	object
suggestFrom	array	Media to pick from. Omit for films and TV (watching together); add "book" or "game" if wanted.
