# Movie Database

> Connect Movie Database to xpander and give agents its 18 actions: how to sign in and connect it, and which actions to hold for approval.

<Badge color="blue">HTTP API connector</Badge>

An HTTP API described by an OpenAPI spec, not an MCP server. Calls go to `https://api.themoviedb.org/4` and carry a credential xpander supplies, so there is nothing to paste.

## What the skill can do

API connector: 18 actions, as they appear in the skill panel. 6 of them create, change or delete something in Movie Database; mark those under **These actions need approval** when you add the skill to an agent.

* **List items management** (5): TMDB List Item Management Remove Items From List, TMDB List Item Status Check Item Presence In List, TMDB List Management Clear List Items, TMDB List Item Management Update Item Details In List, TMDB List Item Management Add Items To List
* **Tv preferences management** (5): TMDB User Tv Preferences Get Tvshow Recommendations, TMDB User Movie Preferences Get Movie Watchlist, TMDB User Tv Preferences Get Favorite Tvshows, TMDB User Tv Preferences Get Rated Tvshows, TMDB User Tv Preferences Get Tvshow Watchlist
* **Movie preferences management** (4): TMDB User Movie Preferences Get Rated Movies, TMDB User List Management Get All Created Lists, TMDB User Movie Preferences Get Favorite Movies, TMDB User Movie Preferences Get Movie Recommendations
* **User lists management** (4): TMDB List Management Update List Details, TMDB Custom Lists Management Create New List With User Details, TMDB List Retrieval Get List By Id, TMDB List Management Delete List By Id

## Connect Movie Database

In Xpander Chat, open the agent's settings, click **Add skill**, and search for **Movie Database**. The connect dialog asks for a connection name and whether the connection is for the **Organization** (one shared account) or **Personal** (your own account, so the agent acts with your permissions where systems allow). On an agent other people use, a personal connection runs their requests as you unless the binding requires each person's own sign-in; see [whose credential a shared agent uses](/use/agents/permissions#whose-credential-a-shared-agent-uses).

Movie Database connects with **Sign in with Movie Database**: you authorize in the browser and xpander stores the OAuth token; the agent never sees it, and the token is attached at the moment a skill is called.

Calls go to `https://api.themoviedb.org/4`.

## Give an agent the Movie Database skill

Once Movie Database is connected, any agent you can edit may be given the skill: open the agent's settings, click **Add skill**, and choose **Movie Database**. Enable only the action groups the agent needs, and mark the actions that should wait for a named person's sign-off under **These actions need approval**. Which skills exist for your organization, and who may add them, is decided by your admins; see [Skills](/use/skills).
