# How to Find Similar Movies with Claude

Claude brings analytical depth to movie and TV discovery by cross-referencing genre tags, critic scores, release years, and thematic elements through multi-step reasoning. Rather than returning a flat list of results, it evaluates each title against your specific preferences and explains why a particular recommendation fits what you described -- helping you build a curated shortlist through focused, iterative conversation. This approach works especially well when you know the general type of content you want but need help narrowing down to the best specific titles.

## Setup

claude mcp add toolrouter -- npx -y toolrouter-mcp

## Steps

1. Connect ToolRouter: claude mcp add toolrouter -- npx -y toolrouter-mcp
2. Ask Claude: "Find movies similar to Interstellar using movie-tv-search"
3. Claude returns titles with similar themes and style
4. Ask: "Which of these has the best reviews?"
