MCP and AI agents: connect Movie Planner to your assistant
May 29, 2026
A regular AI chat can suggest films — and forget five minutes later. Movie Planner keeps your library, plans, tickets, and reminders. With MCP (Model Context Protocol) you connect an agent on your computer — Claude Desktop, Cursor, other IDEs — and say: “add Dune to my calendar for Saturday” or “attach this ticket to Sunday’s plan.” The agent calls Movie Planner tools and the action actually runs.
What MCP is and why it matters
MCP is an open protocol that lets a model use external services as tools. Instead of copying links and planning by hand, you describe the task in plain language and the agent hits the Movie Planner API.
This is not a future experiment: the Movie Planner MCP server already works — locally (stdio) and over HTTP on the backend.
What you can ask the agent to do
- “Add The Matrix to my library” — the film appears in your watchlist;
- “Schedule Oppenheimer at the cinema Saturday 7 PM, October cinema” — a plan with a reminder;
- “Add this to Google Calendar” — push to calendar or an .ics link;
- “Here is a ticket screenshot — attach it to Sunday’s plan” — saved and sent 10 minutes before showtime;
- “What is still unwatched?” — the agent reads your library and answers from facts;
- “Create a group for friends and send an invite link” — shared watchlist;
- “Play Interstellar on the TV” — Smart TV command;
- “Rate yesterday’s film a 9” — via cabinet API (expanding in MCP).
Tools available to the agent
The official MCP server wraps the versioned HTTP API /v1. Main tools:
- Films — add by Kinopoisk link or ID;
- Plans — home watch or cinema with date, time, and venue;
- Calendar — Google Calendar, signed .ics links;
- Tickets — upload an image to a cinema plan, list tickets;
- Library — unwatched titles, user profile;
- Groups — create groups and invite links;
- Smart TV — play a film on TV, search Rutube/VK.
Full contract: OpenAPI, developer overview — AI and API.
Setup (Cursor, Claude Desktop)
- Sign in to Movie Planner — web cabinet or the iPhone app.
- Get a Bearer token: cabinet → AI and API, or OAuth2 PKCE for external apps (/developer).
- Add the MCP server to your IDE config (see docs on agents.html).
Why this beats a plain chatbot
ChatGPT without integration does not remember your watchlist a month later, will not deliver a ticket at the right moment, and will not sync plans with friends. Movie Planner + MCP gives persistent memory, real reminders, groups, tickets, calendar actions, and Smart TV control.
Security
The agent acts as you only with your token. OAuth2 supports scopes: read-only plans or add-films-only access. Revoke the token anytime in the cabinet.
