DramaSub MCP Server

Endpoint

https://www.dramasub.asia/mcp

Protocol version: 2026-07-28
Transport:        Streamable HTTP, POST only (stateless — no session)
Auth:             none

Every request carries the protocol version in the MCP-Protocol-Version header and the mirrored Mcp-Method header, plus the per-request _meta envelope. Unsupported versions get a UnsupportedProtocolVersionError (code -32022) listing the versions this server speaks. There is no translation tool — subtitle translation (Japanese, Korean, Chinese → English) is a paid feature on the site.

Example: discover the server

curl -X POST https://www.dramasub.asia/mcp \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -H 'Accept: application/json, text/event-stream' \
  -H 'MCP-Protocol-Version: 2026-07-28' \
  -H 'Mcp-Method: server/discover' \
  -d '{
    "jsonrpc": "2.0",
    "id": 1,
    "method": "server/discover",
    "params": {
      "_meta": {
        "io.modelcontextprotocol/protocolVersion": "2026-07-28",
        "io.modelcontextprotocol/clientInfo": { "name": "my-agent", "version": "1.0.0" },
        "io.modelcontextprotocol/clientCapabilities": {}
      }
    }
  }'

The response lists supportedVersions, the server identity (dramasub), and its capabilities. Real MCP clients do this handshake for you — you normally only paste a URL (see setup below).

Tools

Schemas are strict: unknown fields, wrong types, and over-length values return a clear tool error. Every result ends with a source line — keep the attribution when you share the data.

Example: call a tool

curl -X POST https://www.dramasub.asia/mcp \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -H 'Accept: application/json, text/event-stream' \
  -H 'MCP-Protocol-Version: 2026-07-28' \
  -H 'Mcp-Method: tools/call' \
  -H 'Mcp-Name: convert_subtitle' \
  -d '{
    "jsonrpc": "2.0",
    "id": 2,
    "method": "tools/call",
    "params": {
      "_meta": {
        "io.modelcontextprotocol/protocolVersion": "2026-07-28",
        "io.modelcontextprotocol/clientInfo": { "name": "my-agent", "version": "1.0.0" },
        "io.modelcontextprotocol/clientCapabilities": {}
      },
      "name": "convert_subtitle",
      "arguments": {
        "from": "srt",
        "to": "vtt",
        "content": "1\n00:00:01,000 --> 00:00:03,500\nAnyong!\n"
      }
    }
  }'

Limits

• 60 calls per hour per IP, 500 per day (all tools).
• convert_subtitle: 30 conversions per hour per IP; content up to 100 KB.
• At most 10 results per search, summaries capped at 600 characters — fixed in code.
• HTTP 429 responses carry Retry-After and X-RateLimit-* headers.

Attribution

Results are free for personal and agent use with attribution: every tool result ends with a Source: dramasub.asia … line — keep it when you share the data. Bulk copying or resale of the data is not allowed (see the terms).

Privacy

No account or key is involved, so nothing identifies you. For abuse prevention we log hashed IPs (never raw IPs) and send one mcp_call analytics event per call with the tool name, request inputs trimmed to 80 characters (search terms, slugs, topics; for conversions only the formats and file size — never the subtitle content), a response summary, and status. Inputs are logged and kept for 30 days. Subtitle content sent to convert_subtitle is never stored or logged.

The subtitle conversion is also available as a keyless REST endpoint — see the Subtitle Conversion API docs, or use the web converter.
