What Screen is for

Questions about what to watch, answered from structured sources instead of memory: whether a show is still running and when the next episode airs, the cast and seasons, an episode guide, what is on television tonight in a country, an actor's credits, an anime's score and where it streams, what is trending or airing this season, and a film's director, cast and year.

What it does

TV via TVMaze: show search with status, genres, network or streaming service, rating, schedule and summary; a show in full with next/previous episode, seasons and cast; episode guides by season; single episodes; the broadcast schedule or streaming releases for any date and country, filterable by name, genre and prime time; people with credits. Anime and manga via AniList: search with score, popularity, ranks, studios, staff, genres and tags, synopsis, trailer, streaming links and next airing episode; full details with relations (sequels, prequels, source material) and main characters; top lists (rated, trending/airing, upcoming, popular, favourites); the current or upcoming season. Films via Wikipedia: year, overview, director, cast and image — with fuller TMDB data when a key is configured.

What it is not

Screen does not stream, buy or recommend by taste, and has no box-office or review aggregates. Film coverage is a Wikipedia summary unless TMDB is enabled; TV data is community-maintained (TVMaze) and can lag for small networks.

Conventions

• Read-only. Every tool reads public data or computes; nothing is written anywhere and nothing about the user is stored.
• Result envelope. ok: true with data, or ok: false with a structured error (bad_input, not_found, upstream_error). degraded lists optional sources that were unreachable.
• Rate limits. Free tier 60 tool calls/minute and 300/day per user (keyed on the user identifier supplied by the host agent, else client IP); Pro keys raise this. Over-limit calls return HTTP 429 with Retry-After. initialize and tools/list are never counted.

Screen — Privacy Policy

Effective 23 September 2026. Unify Dynamics LLC ("we", "us"), Menlo Park, California.

What Screen is. Screen is a connector (an MCP server and REST API) that AI assistants and personal agents call on your behalf for television, anime and film information: shows, episodes, schedules, people, anime and manga, film summaries. You interact with your assistant; the assistant sends us only the title, name, country code or date needed for the lookup.

What we receive. The arguments of each tool call (a show or film title, a person's name, an anime title, a country code, a date), the technical headers needed to serve the request (an IP address or a client identifier supplied by the assistant, and a Pro API key if you have one), and standard server logs.

Lookups are forwarded, not stored. Titles and names are passed to the sources below and the answer is returned to your assistant. We do not record what you watch or ask about, infer tastes or build a profile. Nothing you send is stored, logged in request bodies or used to train anything. Successful upstream answers are cached in memory for 30 minutes to 24 hours, keyed by the query, to reduce load on the sources.

What we do not receive or store. We do not receive your conversation with the assistant, your name, contacts, accounts or credentials for any streaming service. Rate-limit counters (a client identifier and timestamps) are held in memory for at most 24 hours. Hosting-provider access logs, which contain IP addresses and request paths but not request bodies, are retained for up to 30 days for security and abuse prevention.

Sub-processors. TVMaze, AniList and Wikimedia (Wikipedia); TMDB only if the operator has configured a key. Each receives the query and our server's IP address, never yours. Hosting: Vercel (United States regions).

Legal bases and your rights. For users in California, the EU/UK and elsewhere, our processing is necessary to provide the service you request through your assistant. Because we store no personal data beyond short-lived logs, requests to access, correct or delete personal data are usually satisfied automatically; you can still contact agent@connectorbay.com and we will respond within 30 days. We do not sell or share personal information and do not use your data to train models.

Children. Screen is a general-audience service operated by the adult using the assistant; adult-rated anime is excluded from searches and lists.

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