What TMDB People (BYOK) is for

TMDB People (BYOK) lets an AI assistant read your own TMDB People data through the TMDB People API with a key you supply (API read access token). Read-only: 8 tools (search_people, list_popular_people, list_trending_people, get_person, get_person_cast_credits, get_person_crew_credits, get_person_external_ids, get_person_images). The BYOK key travels with each request, is used for that one call only and is never stored, logged or cached; it is only ever sent to api.themoviedb.org. Unofficial connector by Unify Dynamics LLC: not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by TMDB People. TMDB People and its logos are trademarks of their owners and are used only to say which service the connector works with.

Ask your assistant things like:

• "Find the actor Brad Pitt on TMDB"
• "Who are the most popular people on TMDB right now?"
• "Which actors are trending on TMDB this week?"
• "When and where was TMDB person 287 born?"
• "Which movies and shows has TMDB person 287 acted in?"
• "Which movies has TMDB person 287 produced?"

What it does

• search_people: Search people (actors, directors, crew) by name, including also-known-as names; 20 per page. Use the id with get_person.
• list_popular_people: List people ordered by current TMDB popularity, 20 per page.
• list_trending_people: List the people trending on TMDB for the day or the week.
• get_person: Get a person's profile: biography, birthday, death day, birthplace, known-for department, also-known-as names, popularity and IMDb id.
• get_person_cast_credits: List the movies and TV shows a person acted in (combined credits) with character, release date and rating, newest first as TMDB returns them.
• get_person_crew_credits: List the movies and TV shows a person worked on behind the camera (combined credits) with department and job.
• get_person_external_ids: Get a person's ids on other sites: IMDb, Wikidata and TheTVDB-style identifiers where TMDB has them.
• get_person_images: List a person's profile images with file path, size, aspect ratio and votes (prefix a path with TMDB's image base URL).

BYOK key

You bring your own TMDB People API read access token (https://www.themoviedb.org/settings/api). Your assistant sends it in the X-Upstream-Key header with each request. ConnectorBay uses it for that one call only: it is never stored, logged or cached, never shown in an answer, and it is only sent to api.themoviedb.org over https, with no redirects followed. Create a key with the fewest permissions the tools need (read-only if the provider offers it), and revoke it at the provider whenever you like.

Data sources

• https://developer.themoviedb.org/reference/person-details (the API this connector calls, with a BYOK key)

Live from the TMDB People API (api.themoviedb.org) with a BYOK key; documentation: https://developer.themoviedb.org/reference/person-details. Endpoints checked against that documentation on 2026-10-16.

What it is not

TMDB People and its logos are trademarks of their owners and are used only to say which service the connector works with.

TMDB People (BYOK) — Privacy Policy

Effective 24 October 2026. Unify Dynamics LLC ("we", "us"), Menlo Park, California.

What TMDB People (BYOK) is. TMDB People (BYOK) is a connector (an MCP server and REST API) that an AI assistant calls on your behalf to read your own TMDB People data: Search and read people on The Movie Database: biographies, popular and trending lists, film and TV credits and external ids, with your own read access token. You bring your own TMDB People API read access token; the assistant sends it to us with each request.

BYOK key. The key you supply is used to make the one TMDB People call you asked for. Our application does not store it, write it to a log, put it in a cache, or share it. It is sent only to api.themoviedb.org, over https, and is removed from any text we return to you or your assistant. We do not follow redirects with your key. If TMDB People rejects it, we say so without repeating it.

What we receive. The arguments of each tool call, the BYOK key (for that call only), the technical headers needed to serve the request (an IP address or a client identifier supplied by the assistant) and standard server logs. What TMDB People receives. The request we make on your behalf, including the key and the arguments, under TMDB People's own terms and privacy policy. TMDB People acts at your direction and is the only recipient of the data of your request besides our hosting provider.

What we return. The answer TMDB People gives for your request, trimmed to the fields the tool documents. We do not keep it: it is returned to your assistant and not stored, cached or used to train anything.

What we do not do. We do not build a profile, sell or share personal information, or keep your TMDB People data. Rate-limit counters (a client identifier and timestamps) are held in memory for at most 24 hours. Hosting access logs (IP addresses, request paths and status codes) are kept for up to 30 days for security and abuse prevention; our application adds no request headers or bodies to them.

Sub-processors. TMDB People (the API you call with a BYOK key, at your direction). Hosting: Vercel (United States regions).

Your rights. Because we store no personal data beyond short-lived logs, requests to access, correct or delete data are usually satisfied automatically; you can still contact agent@connectorbay.com and we will respond within 30 days. Revoke your key at TMDB People at any time to end all access.

Children. TMDB People (BYOK) is a general-audience service operated by the adult using the assistant, under TMDB People's own age rules.

Changes. We will post changes here with a new effective date.
