Showtime

A monorepo for browsing movie and TV data from TMDB and OMDB. Three deployables share a single data layer, so upstream API access lives in exactly one place.

Workspaces

apps/mcp and apps/web depend on @showtime/core via workspace:* and never call TMDB or OMDB directly.

showtime/
├── packages/core   @showtime/core : clients, types, formatters
├── apps/mcp        @showtime/mcp  : stdio MCP server
└── apps/web        web            : TanStack Start, Cloudflare Workers

Each workspace has its own CLAUDE.md with the details: core, mcp, web.

Related MCP server: moviefinder-mcp

Toolchain

This repo uses Vite+, a unified toolchain exposed through the global vp CLI (it wraps Vite, Rolldown, Vitest, tsdown, Oxlint, and Oxfmt). pnpm workspaces manage the packages; shared dependency versions live in the catalog: in pnpm-workspace.yaml.

• Node >=22.18.0

• pnpm 11.9.0 (downloaded automatically via devEngines if missing)

• The vp CLI. Run vp help for commands, or read the docs at node_modules/vite-plus/docs.

Getting started

vp install

Both apps need a TMDB and an OMDB API key at runtime:

• apps/mcp: copy apps/mcp/.env.example to apps/mcp/.env and fill in TMDB_API_KEY and OMDB_API_KEY.

• apps/web: put the same keys in apps/web/.dev.vars locally; in production set them with wrangler secret put.

Common commands

Run from the repo root.

Per-workspace scripts run with vp run <script> from inside the workspace (or vp run <name>#<script> from the root), for example:

• apps/mcp: vp run start (run once), vp run dev (watch), vp run typecheck.

• apps/web: vp dev, vp build, vp preview, vp run generate-routes.

MCP server

apps/mcp is a stdio server, so it is launched by an MCP client rather than run standalone. To register it with Claude Code:

claude mcp add showtime-mcp -- \
  ./apps/mcp/node_modules/.bin/tsx \
  --env-file-if-exists=$PWD/apps/mcp/.env \
  $PWD/apps/mcp/src/index.ts

Conventions

• TypeScript ESM throughout. Relative imports inside a package use .js extensions even for .ts files.

• All TMDB/OMDB access goes through @showtime/core; nothing else reads API keys or calls the upstream APIs.
