OTTASIA

npm version MIT License MCP Registry Glama

Where can I watch X in Y? Answer that question, in your AI assistant, for 30 Asian and Middle Eastern streaming markets.

OTTASIA's Model Context Protocol server gives Claude (and any MCP-compatible client) live access to streaming availability across India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, Myanmar, Cambodia, Laos, Brunei, China, Hong Kong, Japan, Korea, Taiwan, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Turkey, Israel, Lebanon, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, UAE, Kuwait, Qatar, Bahrain, Oman, and Egypt.

It wraps ottasia.com, so the same data that powers our website is one prompt away.

How it works

The MCP server is a thin client that calls public JSON endpoints on ottasia.com:

• /api/mcp/where-to-watch?title=...&country=...
• /api/mcp/whats-new?provider=...&country=...&limit=...
• /api/mcp/search?q=...&country=...&limit=...

All TMDB data, caching, and per-country provider logic stays on the OTTASIA backend, so your installed npm package never holds an API key.

Alternate transport: HTTP/SSE

If you're integrating from a non-Claude-Desktop client (Claude API, browser-based MCP playground, custom code), you can connect directly to the hosted HTTP endpoint:

https://ottasia.com/api/mcp/sse

Uses the MCP Streamable HTTP transport (stateless, JSON responses). Same 3 tools, same data.

Local development override

To run against a local OTTASIA dev server, set OTTASIA_BASE_URL=http://localhost:3000 in your MCP config:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "ottasia-local": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["/absolute/path/to/this/repo/dist/server.js"],
      "env": { "OTTASIA_BASE_URL": "http://localhost:3000" }
    }
  }
}
