Details
From the project READMEMediawork 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.

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.

From what the protocol is to installing your first server, these answers cover most first questions.
An open protocol that defines how AI applications connect to external tools and data in a uniform way. Clients talk to the model; MCP servers provide tools, resources and prompt templates. They exchange standard messages, so one server can be reused by many clients.
