Overview

AI-generated overview

A remote MCP server for searching GuideDoc's public documentary catalogue and reading film, filmmaker, topic and article reference pages.

What you can do
Search public documentary films by title, director, topic or keyword, with filters for duration, subtitles, year and audio, and get verified film details by ID with recommendations and reasons. Look up published filmmaker and contributor profiles and their public documentary records. Browse genre and topic collections with canonical page links. Find and read published documentary articles by numeric ID. Read public FAQs and country-specific plan, help and legal links, and drive an in-page catalogue explorer to search, open films, show related titles and sync a new selection.
When to use it
Useful when someone wants to find documentaries, check whether a title is on GuideDoc, research a filmmaker or topic, or read GuideDoc articles and service information. It is a read-only reference source, not a way to watch films or manage an account.
Requirements
A remote streamable HTTP endpoint at guidedoc.tv; no package, environment variable or header is declared. No authentication is declared, though full films open on GuideDoc with normal access requirements.
Before you install
Catalogue availability reflects GuideDoc's catalogue and territorial restrictions may apply. The server states it never reads accounts, subscriptions, invoices or support tickets and never purchases or changes a subscription. Some tools drive an in-page explorer and keep the latest query and filters for follow-ups. English metadata only.

Installation

In SourceWeft

  1. Open GuideDoc Documentary Database in the dashboard and add it to a workspace.
  2. Enable the server for the chats that should use its tools.

Web executable via Streamable HTTP. Remote servers run from the web runtime once configured in a workspace.

Use with an agent

Paste this prompt into Claude Code, Codex, Cursor or another agent — or into SourceWeft chat. The agent reads this server's install guide, shows you its publisher, endpoint and sign-in, and adds it to your client once you agree. Keys never go into a command.

Read https://sourceweft.com/mcp/tv.guidedoc%2Fdocumentary-database/install.md and connect the MCP server it describes to my client. Before changing any config, show me its publisher, endpoint and sign-in method and wait for my OK. Never put an API key in a command or in a file I would commit; ask me where it should come from.

Read the install guide the agent follows

Parameterslanguage

open_catalogue

Explore documentaries

Search and display documentary titles, filmmakers or topics inside GuideDoc. When this explorer is active, use for bare or ambiguous titles before answering from another meaning: 'Mon Petit' means query='Mon Petit', not a translation. Honor explicit translation/unrelated requests. Nonempty queries default to all documentary records, ranked by relevance; original_title identifies alternate names. Preserve filters explicitly requested by the user. For no matches, ask for identifying details; never invent a film. Empty arguments open all documentary records, newest first. Full films retain normal access requirements.
