Metacritic MCP server

mcp-metacritic

<!-- m8ven-verify: 01151bc5a8514e55175f063339bedc6f -->

Metacritic gathers what critics and audiences said about films, television series and video games. Each entry carries the year, the age rating, the genres, and two scores of its own: the Metascore, a weighted average of the professional reviews, and the user score, out of ten, from the people who signed up to rate it. Under each entry sit the reviews themselves, with the publication that ran them and the quoted line.

This server connects a chat client to that catalogue. You can search for a title, read its entry with its scores and its details, browse a catalogue by score, recency or popularity, and read the reviews of one title, filtered by critic or audience and by how favourable they were. It needs no API key and no account.

Install

One-click install

Claude Code

claude mcp add metacritic -- npx -y mcp-metacritic

Claude Desktop, Cursor, and any client using the standard config format

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "metacritic": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "mcp-metacritic"]
    }
  }
}

Node 24 or later is required, and no environment variable has to be set.

With Docker

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "metacritic": {
      "command": "docker",
      "args": ["run", "-i", "--rm", "ghcr.io/smeet666/mcp-metacritic:2.0.1"]
    }
  }
}

-i keeps stdin open, which is where the protocol travels, and -t is left out because a TTY rewrites the stream. The container needs outbound HTTPS to backend.metacritic.com, and nothing else: no volume, no port, no credential.

Bundle, without npm

Download mcp-metacritic-2.0.1.mcpb from the latest release and open it. A client that supports MCP bundles installs it on its own, with no npm and no configuration file to edit. The bundle carries its dependencies, so nothing is fetched at install time.
