Managed execution
Every figure below is read from the live Metacritic endpoint catalog — 10 endpoints, 42 documented request parameters, and 10 published response schemas — the same catalog Docs and Playground run against.
10 documented Metacritic endpoints, grouped into 4 request families — Game, Movie and Tv, plus 1 more.
42 request parameters are documented across those Metacritic endpoints, 20 of them required — the full input contract is public before you write any integration code.
10 of the 10 Metacritic endpoints ship a recorded example response, and 10 carry a documented response schema — you can code against the real JSON before the first request.
Metacritic endpoints document their error responses (400, 404, 500 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.
10 hosted MCP tools back the Metacritic endpoints, so an agent can call the same routes with the same parameters and the same JSON contract, with no custom glue.
