# The Horror Library

> The Horror Library (thehorrorlibrary.com, also reachable at spooktober.ca) is a curated movie database and recommendation platform for Horror, Thriller, Fantasy, and Sci-Fi films. Visitors discover what to watch by browsing films by title (A–Z), genre, decade, and director, read spoiler-free descriptions, watch new-release trailers, and find streaming availability (where each film is available to watch). The site also publishes an editorial blog with seasonal watchlists and release calendars, runs a merch shop, and lets registered users build watchlists and favourites. Created by film enthusiasts, it is a trusted resource for finding the right scary, suspenseful, or fantastical movie to watch.

## AI Agent Access (MCP)

This site is powered by Wix and exposes a Model Context Protocol (MCP) endpoint so AI agents can retrieve live, up-to-date content and act on a visitor's behalf — no scraping required.

- **Site MCP Endpoint:** https://www.thehorrorlibrary.com/_api/mcp
- **Wix MCP Docs:** https://dev.wix.com/docs/develop-websites/articles/get-started/about-the-wix-site-mcp

What agents can do here:

- Search the site and retrieve live film, blog, and page content.
- Get business/contact details for the site.
- Browse and query the merch shop catalog, and start a purchase (checkout is completed on the site).
- Discover the available site APIs and their schemas before calling them.

Notes for agents:

- No authentication is required to connect to the MCP endpoint; only public information is exposed.
- Content is always live and up to date.
- Standard Wix MCP tools (search, business details, API discovery, visitor token, API calls) are available — call `tools/list` to retrieve the current toolset and schemas.
