🤖 Use this catalogue with your AI

I want to connect you to a public MCP server called TVTitles. TVTitles is a catalogue of television opening title sequences — 3195 shows and 3416 distinct openings, with a separate entry for every season whose titles actually changed.

The address is: https://www.tvtitles.net/api/mcp

There is no authentication: no API key, no token, no OAuth, no sign-in. Do not send an Authorization header, and if a setup form asks for a credential, leave it blank.

Custom MCP connectors are hidden until developer mode is enabled in settings. Please walk me through turning that on and adding this connector, then confirm it works by calling list_genres.

What it gives you:
- search_shows — Find shows, sequences, franchises and networks by name or by what the titles do. Sequence notes are indexed, so "rotoscoped" or "cast cards" finds the openings that do it.
- list_shows — Browse the catalogue by genre, decade, network, franchise or first letter, optionally only shows whose titles changed or that have watchable footage.
- get_show — One show in full: every distinct opening it used, which seasons each covers, what changed, how long it runs, and a link to the video on its original host.
- list_sequences — Every opening as its own row, filtered by decade, genre or runtime — the list that answers "which openings run over two minutes".
- list_genres — The seven genres this catalogue uses, and how many shows are in each.
- list_franchises — Runs that share a universe and usually a title theme — Star Trek, Law & Order — with their member shows.
- random_show — One show at random from those with watchable footage, optionally within a genre.

Five things to be accurate about:
1. A sequence is either the show's opening TITLES or its THEME MUSIC. The "kind" field says which. "theme" means the show has no opening titles at all, and there are only two of them in the catalogue — never call one a title sequence.
2. A "titles" entry whose video is null is a real opening this catalogue documents but has found no usable footage of. It is not a show without titles, and it is not a missing entry.
3. A season that is not listed is a claim, not a gap: a season gets its own entry only when its opening actually changed. Absence means nothing changed.
4. Artwork is drawn by an image model, and most shows have none of their own and carry generic scenery for their genre — "art.kind" says which. No image here is a still or a frame from the programme.
5. The "lookups.pageviews" figure is Wikipedia pageviews: how often people look a show up, not a judgement of its titles, and only comparable within one decade.

Before we start, please check these with me one at a time, because Google requires all five and none can be worked around. I would rather hear which one I fail than go looking for a menu that is not there: (1) signed in with a PERSONAL Google account, not a work or school one; (2) "Keep Activity" switched on — custom apps are unavailable while it is off; (3) 18 or over; (4) in the US; (5) using Gemini in English.

Then: custom apps can only be CONNECTED in the Gemini web app at gemini.google.com, under Settings and Connected apps, where a custom app takes an MCP server URL. Once it is connected it works in the mobile app too. Please walk me through that and then confirm by calling list_genres.

Add this to .vscode/mcp.json in this workspace — create the file if it does not exist, and merge into "servers" if it does rather than overwriting what is already there:

{
  "servers": {
    "tvtitles": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://www.tvtitles.net/api/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Note the shape: VS Code keys this object "servers" and needs an explicit "type": "http". Cursor uses "mcpServers" and infers the transport. They look interchangeable and are not — the wrong root key gives an editor that starts cleanly and lists no tools at all.

Then reload the window and confirm by calling list_genres.

Grok takes custom MCP servers at grok.com/connectors — New connector, then Custom, then paste the address.

Perplexity takes custom connectors on its paid plans — Pro, Max or Enterprise — under Settings, then Connectors, then a custom connector taking an MCP server URL. Two things to know before we start: the Comet browser does NOT take custom connectors, only Perplexity's own catalogue, so use the web or desktop app; and if there is no custom option at all, the plan is the reason rather than this server.

Please create a Custom Connector for TVTitles. TVTitles is a catalogue of television opening title sequences — 3195 shows and 3416 distinct openings, with a separate entry for every season whose titles actually changed.

MCP endpoint (JSON-RPC over HTTP POST): https://www.tvtitles.net/api/mcp

There is no authentication: no API key, no token, no OAuth, no sign-in. Do not send an Authorization header, and if a setup form asks for a credential, leave it blank.

A GET to the MCP endpoint returns 405 with a JSON body explaining how to call it — that is correct, not a failure. The GET stream was removed from the MCP transport in protocol revision 2026-07-28. Send a POST.

To test the connection, POST this exact body to the MCP endpoint with content-type application/json:
{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"tools/list","params":{}}

Use the TVTitles API when I ask you about television opening titles or theme tunes. TVTitles is a catalogue of television opening title sequences — 3195 shows and 3416 distinct openings, with a separate entry for every season whose titles actually changed.

It is an ordinary JSON API over HTTP GET, and it needs no MCP support. Start here, which documents every endpoint and its parameters: https://www.tvtitles.net/api/v1

There is no authentication: no API key, no token, no OAuth, no sign-in. Do not send an Authorization header, and if a setup form asks for a credential, leave it blank.

The ones you will want most:
- https://www.tvtitles.net/api/v1/search?q=QUERY — find a show by name, or find openings by what they do.
- https://www.tvtitles.net/api/v1/shows/SLUG — one show, with every opening it used and a link to each video.
- https://www.tvtitles.net/api/v1/shows?genre=crime&decade=1990s — browse; every filter is listed in the index.
- https://www.tvtitles.net/api/v1/sequences?minSeconds=120 — openings by runtime, decade or genre.

What it gives you:
- search_shows — Find shows, sequences, franchises and networks by name or by what the titles do. Sequence notes are indexed, so "rotoscoped" or "cast cards" finds the openings that do it.

- get_show — One show in full: every distinct opening it used, which seasons each covers, what changed, how long it runs, and a link to the video on its original host.

- list_genres — The seven genres this catalogue uses, and how many shows are in each.
- list_franchises — Runs that share a universe and usually a title theme — Star Trek, Law & Order — with their member shows.
