Cinematography reference: search film stills from 5,489 films by lighting, lens, shot size, colour and mood.

What it does

A remote MCP server over one of the largest film still libraries on the internet — 5,489 films indexed frame by frame on lighting key and quality, lens character, shot size, camera angle, colour palette in hex, mood and era. An agent searches in plain language, narrows by craft attribute, and refines from any frame the user reacts to, which is the loop a director or DP actually works in when building a lookbook or shot list. Returns metadata, thumbnails, colour palettes and deep links — never raw image bytes, so it is a reference tool rather than a source of generation inputs.

Auth: oauth — OAuth 2.1 — the client opens a FrameThrower sign-in; the agent then acts as that account. No API key.

Field notes

Endpoint, four tools, OAuth 2.1, credit pricing and the 5,489-film index all unchanged on re-check. Remote and hosted, so nothing to install or keep running. Free tier is $2 of credits on signup with no card; each tool call costs 2 credits at $1 = 1,000 credits, so $1 covers 500 calls, and credits do not expire; top-ups come in $20 packs. No rate limits — when credits run out the tool returns the balance rather than failing silently. Frames are shown at reduced resolution as references for commentary and study — rights remain with their owners, and the server never returns image bytes. One-vendor operation: the repo (framethrower-ai/framethrower-mcp) is a README pointing at the hosted endpoint and has not been touched since 12 Aug 2026, so there is no code to audit and no second maintainer if the service lapses. Submitted by the vendor.
