Implementation Reference

• mcp-tmdb-server.js:102-105 (handler)

  The asynchronous handler function for the 'person_details' tool. It fetches detailed person information from the TMDB API using the tmdbFetch helper and returns the data as a formatted JSON text content block.

  handler: async ({person_id, language, append}) => {
      const data = await tmdbFetch(`/person/${person_id}`, {language, append_to_response: append});
      return {content: [{type: "text", text: JSON.stringify(data, null, 2)}]};
  }

• mcp-tmdb-server.js:89-101 (schema)

  The input schema defining the parameters for the 'person_details' tool: person_id (required number), language (optional string), append (optional string for additional fields).

  inputSchema: {
      type: "object",
      properties: {
          person_id: {type: "number", description: "TMDB Person ID"},
          language: {type: "string", description: "ISO 639-1 code (e.g., en-US)"},
          append: {
              type: "string",
              description: "Comma-separated append_to_response (e.g., images,combined_credits,external_ids)"
          }
      },
      required: ["person_id"],
      additionalProperties: false
  },

• mcp-tmdb-server.js:86-106 (registration)

  The complete tool registration object for 'person_details' added to the tools array, which is used by the MCP server's listTools and callTool request handlers.

  {
      name: "person_details",
      description: "Retrieves detailed information about a person (actor, director, etc.) from TMDB. Input: person_id (required TMDB ID), language (optional ISO 639-1 code), append (optional comma-separated fields like images,combined_credits,external_ids). Output: JSON with biography, birth/death info, and appended data. Purpose: Get comprehensive person profiles for AI-driven content analysis or recommendations.",
      inputSchema: {
          type: "object",
          properties: {
              person_id: {type: "number", description: "TMDB Person ID"},
              language: {type: "string", description: "ISO 639-1 code (e.g., en-US)"},
              append: {
                  type: "string",
                  description: "Comma-separated append_to_response (e.g., images,combined_credits,external_ids)"
              }
          },
          required: ["person_id"],
          additionalProperties: false
      },
      handler: async ({person_id, language, append}) => {
          const data = await tmdbFetch(`/person/${person_id}`, {language, append_to_response: append});
          return {content: [{type: "text", text: JSON.stringify(data, null, 2)}]};
      }
  },

• mcp-tmdb-server.js:18-38 (helper)

  Helper function tmdbFetch used by the person_details handler (and other tools) to make authenticated API requests to the TMDB proxy endpoint.

  async function tmdbFetch(path, params = {}) {
      if (!TMDB_AUTH_TOKEN) {
          throw new Error("TMDB authorization token is not configured");
      }
      const url = new URL(TMDB_BASE + path);
      Object.entries(params).forEach(([k, v]) => {
          if (v !== undefined && v !== null && v !== "") url.searchParams.set(k, String(v));
      });
  
      const res = await fetch(url, {
          headers: {
              Accept: "application/json",
              Authorization: TMDB_AUTH_TOKEN,
          },
      });
      if (!res.ok) {
          const text = await res.text().catch(() => "");
          throw new Error(`TMDB request failed ${res.status}: ${text}`);
      }
      return res.json();
  }
