SceneF — San Francisco Movie Showtimes (MCP server)

Built by movie lovers, for movie lovers and their assistants.

San Francisco is one of the last great moviegoing cities — single-screen neighborhood houses from the 1920s, repertory calendars that change nightly, 35mm and 70mm prints, midnight movies, and yes, the multiplexes too. SceneF puts every screen in the city on one board and verifies each showtime against the theater's own box office, so nobody ever drives to a dark theater.

Remote MCP server, streamable HTTP, no API key, read-only.

Tools

Every ticket link is a direct door to the theater's own box office. No ads, no pay-ranking; ranking is pure preference-scoring and nothing is ever hidden. The repertory houses get the same billing as the chains — a lone 35mm print at a neighborhood house is exactly the kind of thing this server exists to surface.

Why trust it

• Showtimes are read from each theater's own ticketing system or venue feed where one exists, and corroborated across independent sources where it doesn't. Every screening carries confidence, sources, and verified_at.

• The verification record is public — including the checks that failed: scenef.com/api/accuracy.

• Same-day truth: an evening sweep pulls cancelled shows and flips sold-out both ways between ingests.
