What it can do
Tool names and descriptions exactly as the server reported them on Nov 11, 2026. The maker wrote them, not us; we show them as plain text.
list_servicesThe service categories vendors on Mediawork offer, such as Editorial, Sound Post or Visual Effects. Each has a uuid — pass it as `service` to search_facilities to filter the directory to vendors offering that service. Call this first when a question is about a kind of work.
list_placesCities, states and countries that have at least one vendor listed, with a count of how many. Use a place `slug` as the `place` argument to search_facilities.
search_facilitiesSearch publicly listed post-production facilities, distribution vendors and creative companies. Filter by free text, by place slug (from list_places) and by service uuid (from list_services). To find vendors somewhere, prefer `place`; a `query` naming a place is treated as one an
get_facilityThe full public profile for one vendor: services offered, creatives on the team and what each of them does, production types, rooms and spaces, equipment by make and model, and addresses. Takes the `companySlug` and `facilitySlug` pair returned by search_facilities.
search_faqMediawork's published FAQ, grouped by category. With a query, returns matching questions and their answers; without one, returns every question so you can pick which to search for.
list_blog_postsPublished posts from the Mediawork blog, newest first. Use get_blog_post with a returned `slug` to read one in full.
get_blog_postThe full body of one published blog post, as markdown.
get_plansMediawork's subscription plans: what each includes, and its prices, plus `comparison`, a feature-by-feature table of every plan. Prices are published in several currencies — pass `currency` to return just one.
searchSearch everything Mediawork publishes — vendor directory listings, FAQ entries and blog posts — and return matching records as {id, title, url}. Pass an `id` to `fetch` to read one in full. If your client supports them, the dedicated tools (search_facilities, search_faq, …) give
fetchRetrieve the full contents of one record by the `id` returned from `search`.

Common questions
Is Mediawork safe?
It passed 4 of 4 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.
What keys or codes does it need?
The registry does not list a required key, though some servers ask you to sign in on first use.
Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?
It runs in the maker’s cloud. Connect over the internet with nothing to install, but what you send passes through the maker’s servers.
Is it still maintained?
The GitHub repo last changed 27 days ago, and the latest version (0.1.1) reached the registry 3 months ago.
Which apps can use it?
Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. It connects by URL, so apps that accept remote MCP servers work too, such as ChatGPT on the web (full MCP on Business and above; Pro read-only).

Mediawork MCP server
Read-only Model Context Protocol access to everything Mediawork publishes publicly: the directory of post-production and distribution vendors, the FAQ, the blog, and subscription plans.
Connector URL: `https://mcp.mediawork.io/mcp` — Streamable HTTP, no authentication, no sign-up.
Listed in the official MCP Registry as io.mediawork/mediawork.
Connect it
Claude Code:
claude mcp add --transport http mediawork https://mcp.mediawork.io/mcp

"mcpServers": { "mediawork": { "type": "http", "url": "https://mcp.mediawork.io/mcp" } } }
Tools
| Tool | What it does |
|---|---|
search | One query across the directory, FAQ and blog, returning {id, title, url} |
fetch | Read one record in full, by an id from search |
search_facilities | The vendor directory, filtered by service and place |
get_facility | A vendor's full public profile |
list_services | The service taxonomy, for resolving a filter |
list_places | Cities, states and countries with vendors in them |
search_faq | Published FAQ entries |
list_blog_posts / get_blog_post | The blog |
get_plans | Subscription plans and pricing |
search + fetch are the generic pair some clients require; the dedicated tools give richer, filterable results where a client can use them.
Directory questions usually chain: list_services or list_places to resolve a filter, then search_facilities, then get_facility. Every result carries its canonical www.mediawork.io URL so an agent can cite the source.
Read-only, structurally
The deployment holds exactly one environment variable, APP_API_URL, and every byte it serves comes from https://app.mediawork.io/api/www/* — the same public contract the marketing site consumes. There are no database credentials and no write path, so "read-only" is a property of the deployment's shape rather than a promise in a comment.

Setup, the test commands and the house conventions are in CONTRIBUTING.md.
