Musicbrainz MCP Server is answering right now. Last checked 1 min ago. 55 installs a week from npm. It exposes 10 tools. Last commit 22 Aug 2026.
Search MusicBrainz artists, releases, works, labels; resolve ISRC/ISWC/barcode; fetch cover art.
Every tool that appeared, vanished or quietly changed what it asks for. Recorded since 22 August 2026. No other catalogue keeps this.
Today is the operative word: we check Musicbrainz MCP Server every 15 minutes and re-read its code on every release. Watch it and you find out the day that stops being true.

This one needs environment variables set before it will start:
MUSICBRAINZ_CONTACT (Contact (email or URL) embedded in the mandatory descriptive MusicBrainz User-Agent. Not start-blocking — the server ships a default contact — but operators running a shared or hosted instance should set their own so MusicBrainz can reach them about traffic.), MCP_HTTP_HOST (The hostname for the HTTP server.), MCP_HTTP_PORT (The port to run the HTTP server on.), MCP_HTTP_ENDPOINT_PATH (The endpoint path for the MCP server.), MCP_AUTH_MODE (Authentication mode to use: 'none', 'jwt', or 'oauth'.), MCP_LOG_LEVEL (Sets the minimum log level for output (e.g., 'debug', 'info', 'warn').).
The author declared them in the registry entry; get the values from the project itself.
