Flightmussy/filmmap-mcp

A Model Context Protocol server for the
Movie Scene Map atlas (called FilmMap until 1 September 2026): real filming
locations of films and television series, and the real places video games,
anime and manga are set in, with coordinates, fame ranking, per-place
production lists and the source behind every claim. The counts move with every
release; the live figures are on https://moviescenemap.com and in
get_statistics.
It is already running. Point a client at the hosted endpoint; there is no
install, no signup and no API key:
The older address, https://thefilmmap.com/mcp, keeps answering for clients
configured before the rename. Streamable HTTP, stateless, POST-only (a GET
returning 405 is correct).

Tools
| Tool | What it does |
| --- | --- |
| where_was_it_filmed | Give a title, get the places it was shot at, each with its evidence |
| what_was_filmed_here | The inverse, and the question this atlas is unusual for answering: give a place, get everything recorded as made there |
| search_productions | Find productions by name, accent- and case-insensitive, best match first |
| search_locations | Find places by name, filterable by country or kind of place |
| locations_near | Places within a radius of a WGS84 coordinate, each with distance_km |
| top_locations | The atlas ranked, worldwide or inside one country or one kind of place |
| list_countries | Every country with how many filming locations it holds |
| get_statistics | Live aggregates: totals by medium and by kind of place, top countries, busiest places |
What an answer will and will not claim
This is the part worth reading before wiring it into anything that writes prose.
**Films and series are placed by filming location (P915). Video games, anime and manga are filmed nowhere**, so they are placed by narrative location (P840), where the story is set, and every record says which relation it carries. Repeating one as the other publishes a false claim.
**A place is not a scene.** P915 records that a production filmed at a place and stops there. Which scene was shot where is not in the data and must not be inferred from it.
**Two kinds of evidence, never merged.** Most links are Wikidata statements. Some are places named in a production's English Wikipedia *Filming* section, or a setting category its editors filed it under; those arrive in their own fields, labelled with the exact article and section they were read from. Say "per Wikipedia" when you repeat one.
**Coverage is uneven and the server says so.** Some productions are recorded only at country level and appear with countries and no coordinates. Those that cannot be placed at all are published as a work list at moviescenemap.com/gaps/ so they can be fixed on Wikidata.
