How to Build a Mood Watchlist with Claude
Build a mood-based watchlist with Claude and ToolRouter using Similar Movies.
Tool
Claude helps when the mood is specific and the shortlist needs to be narrowed by feel rather than genre. Run `blend_taste`, then ask Claude to identify the best fit for exactly tonight's brief.

Steps
Once connected (see setup above), use the Similar Movies tool:
- Describe the mood and name two or three reference films that already fit it.
- Run `similar-movies.blend_taste` with those seeds and any titles to avoid.
- Ask Claude to identify the best fit for tonight's specific mood from the shortlist.
- Save the final pick or keep the shortlist as a watchlist for the week.
Example Prompt
Try this with Claude using the Similar Movies tool
I want something cerebral and slow-burn tonight. Use similar-movies to blend Prisoners and Zodiac, exclude Se7en, and tell me which result fits best if I want tension without gore.
Tips
- Mood descriptions help Claude narrow the shortlist after the tool returns it.
- Name films that already match the mood as seeds rather than describing the mood in the tool call.
- Use `avoid_titles` to exclude the most obvious picks you have already seen.
