Tvsubtitles MCP server

mcp-tvsubtitles

TVsubtitles.net catalogues subtitles for television series. Its readers upload a file for one episode, timed to one video release, and the site records the language, the release it was cut for, who uploaded it and when, how large the file is and how often it has been taken. It holds around three hundred thousand of them, across some eighty-six thousand episodes in twenty-four languages.

This server connects a chat client to that catalogue. You can search for a series, read a season and see which languages hold something for each episode, read the records of one episode, and open one record with the release it was cut for and who uploaded it. Every record carries the address of its page on the site. No API key and no account are needed.

Bundle, without npm

Download mcp-tvsubtitles.mcpb from the latest release and open it with a host that installs MCP bundles. It carries its dependencies, so Node 24 or later is all it needs.
