handler: async ({type = "tv", language = "en", watch_region}) => { const data = await tmdbFetch(`/watch/providers/${type}`, {language, watch_region}); return {content: [{type: "text", text: JSON.stringify(data, null, 2)}]}; } - mcp-tmdb-server.js:392-401 (schema)Input schema for validating tool parameters: requires 'type' ("movie" or "tv") and 'watch_region' (ISO 3166-1 code), optional 'language' (ISO 639-1).
