Managed execution
Every figure below is read from the live IndieWire endpoint catalog — 5 endpoints, 9 documented request parameters, and 5 published response schemas — the same catalog Docs and Playground run against.
5 documented IndieWire endpoints, grouped into 5 request families — Article, Author and Headlines, plus 2 more.
9 request parameters are documented across those IndieWire endpoints, 8 of them required — the full input contract is public before you write any integration code.
5 of the 5 IndieWire endpoints ship a recorded example response, and 5 carry a documented response schema — you can code against the real JSON before the first request.
IndieWire endpoints document their error responses (400, 404, 429 and 503) alongside the success schema, so a block, a rate limit, or a missing record comes back as a typed error rather than silently empty data.
5 hosted MCP tools back the IndieWire endpoints, so an agent can call the same routes with the same parameters and the same JSON contract, with no custom glue.

Endpoint catalog
/indiewire/sectionsLists IndieWire's 32 editorial categories accepted by `indiewire-headlines`, such as `analysis`, `box-office`, `festivals`, `interviews`, `obituary` and `trailers`.

MCP tool indiewire_sections
/indiewire/newsReturns IndieWire's current top stories on independent film, TV and awards, with no parameters. Each item has its title, URL, one-sentence summary, author and publication time. Gallery and list pages are left out because they are not text articles.
MCP tool indiewire_news
/indiewire/headlinesReturns fresh headlines from one public IndieWire section feed. Gallery and list pages are omitted because they are not text articles.
MCP tool indiewire_headlines
/indiewire/articleReturns public IndieWire article metadata (title, author(s), published/updated dates, section, lead image) and the body paragraphs an anonymous visitor sees, from a canonical article URL. Paywalled content is never bypassed; a gated story would return only its public portion.
MCP tool indiewire_article
/indiewire/authorReturns one IndieWire staff writer or contributor's public profile: name, headshot, biography, any listed social/contact links, and one page of their recent articles.
