That's it! The server will respond to your query, and you can continue using it as needed.
Here is a step-by-step guide with screenshots.
IMDB MCP Server
A cloud-runnable JSON-RPC service that provides access to IMDB data. Designed to work with LLMs via the MCP (Model Context Protocol).
How It Works
LLM Configuration: Add the MCP server URL to your LLM's configuration
Discovery: The LLM queries the server URL to understand available tools
Query: The LLM sends JSON-RPC requests to fetch IMDB data
Response: The server returns structured data that the LLM interprets and explains to users
