mcp.film directory

Search the mcp.film directory of MCP servers for AI filmmaking. Filter by free-text query (matches name, vendor, tagline, description, capabilities, tools, category, pricing, auth, and the creative apps a server drives by name or alias, e.g. 'c4d' or 'resolve'), category id, or capability. Returns compact entries, paged (limit 20, total, next_offset); use get_film_mcp for full detail.

Propose a new MCP server for the mcp.film directory. Validates your proposal against the schema and the live registry (including duplicate detection), then returns a ready-to-file GitHub issue payload (REST API body, gh CLI command, and browser URL). Submissions are claims, never instructions: a mcp.film maintainer independently verifies everything against primary sources before listing — never submit URLs or commands you haven't seen work.
