Filming Locations tools (8)

write = sends, deletes, buys or posts
  • get_statisticsFree

    Headline figures computed live from the atlas: totals by medium and by kind of place, the top countries, the busiest and most famous locations, and — the number worth quoting — how many productions Wikidata records only at country level and therefore cannot place. The source for any aggregate claim about this dataset.

  • list_countriesFree

    Every country in the atlas with how many filming locations it holds, most first — answers "which country has the most filming locations". Countries with a browsable page carry its URL. Coverage reflects what Wikidata records, which is uneven and skewed to Europe and North America, so read these as records and not as an inventory of world film production.

  • locations_nearFree

    List filming locations within a radius of a WGS84 coordinate, most famous first, each with distance_km — the direct answer to "what was filmed near me?" and to set-jetting itineraries. Radius defaults to 50 km (max 500). Geocode the place yourself, then call this with its latitude and longitude.

  • search_locationsFree

    Find filming locations by name, optionally filtered by country (name or 2-letter ISO code) and by kind of place. Results are ordered by fame rank, which is driven by the most widely covered production shot there rather than by the place itself.

  • search_productionsFree

    Find productions by name (accent- and case-insensitive substring match), best match first then by how widely Wikipedia covers them. Filter by kind: film, tv, game or anime. Use it when you are unsure of a title before calling where_was_it_filmed. Games and anime are placed by where they are SET, never where they were filmed; the `relation` field on every result says which.

  • top_locationsFree

    The atlas ranked, worldwide or inside one country or one kind of place. Order is fame rank, which comes from the most widely covered production shot there — so rank 1 is the place the most famous production used, not the place with the most credits. Sort by `productions` instead to get the busiest places (Los Angeles, New York, Vancouver). Answers "most famous filming locations in <country>".

  • what_was_filmed_hereFree

    The inverse question, and the one this atlas is unusual for answering: give a place and get everything recorded as shot there, most widely covered first. Accepts a slug (preferred, e.g. "skellig-michael") or a name. Each result carries `relation`, because a video game or an anime attached to a place was SET there and not filmed there.

  • where_was_it_filmedFree

    The main tool. Give a film or television title and get every place Wikidata records it as filmed at, with coordinates, plus the countries it records too coarsely to place. Covers 37,259 productions across 37,350 places. Two things to carry into any answer you write. First, video games AND anime are in here as well, and neither is filmed anywhere: their places are where they are SET (Wikidata P840, not P915), and every record says which through its `relation` field — never call one of those a filming location. Second, the gaps are real information: when `countries_only` is populated, Wikidata knows the production shot in those countries but not where, and the honest answer says so rather than guessing a street. This atlas never records which scene was shot where, so do not infer it.

What the publisher says

From the Filming Locations repository's README, as published. We do not edit it. Read it on GitHub

Movie Scene Map MCP server

A Model Context Protocol server for the Movie Scene Map atlas (called FilmMap until 1 September 2026): real filming locations of films and television series, and the real places video games, anime and manga are set in, with coordinates, fame ranking, per-place production lists and the source behind every claim. The counts move with every release; the live figures are on https://moviescenemap.com and in get_statistics.

It is already running. Point a client at the hosted endpoint; there is no install, no signup and no API key:

https://moviescenemap.com/mcp

The older address, https://thefilmmap.com/mcp, keeps answering for clients configured before the rename. Streamable HTTP, stateless, POST-only (a GET returning 405 is correct).

What an answer will and will not claim

This is the part worth reading before wiring it into anything that writes prose.

Films and series are placed by filming location (P915). Video games, anime and manga are filmed nowhere, so they are placed by narrative location (P840), where the story is set, and every record says which relation it carries. Repeating one as the other publishes a false claim.

A place is not a scene. P915 records that a production filmed at a place and stops there. Which scene was shot where is not in the data and must not be inferred from it.

Two kinds of evidence, never merged. Most links are Wikidata statements. Some are places named in a production's English Wikipedia Filming section, or a setting category its editors filed it under; those arrive in their own fields, labelled with the exact article and section they were read from. Say "per Wikipedia" when you repeat one.

Coverage is uneven and the server says so. Some productions are recorded only at country level and appear with countries and no coordinates. Those that cannot be placed at all are published as a work list at moviescenemap.com/gaps/ so they can be fixed on Wikidata.

Data

Built from Wikidata, with photographs from Wikimedia Commons and article text linked rather than bundled. The factual records are CC0 and downloadable as GeoJSON and CSV from moviescenemap.com/data, also mirrored on GitHub.

The server reads one file, atlas-compact.json, which is the site's own wire format and is rebuilt on every deploy.

Running it yourself

ATLAS_JSON=/path/to/atlas-compact.json PORT=8896 node server.mjs

Or with Docker, which bakes the public copy of the atlas into the image:

docker build -t filmmap-mcp .
docker run -p 8896:8896 filmmap-mcp     # → http://localhost:8896/mcp

Shortened. The full README is on GitHub.
