MusicBrainz MCP by UnClick — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for MusicBrainz MCP by UnClick?

MusicBrainz MCP by UnClick runs on your own machine over stdio — there is no network address to reach, so uptime cannot be measured for it by anyone. What can be measured is adoption: the npm package @unclick/musicbrainz-mcp was installed 37 times last week.

Is MusicBrainz MCP by UnClick still maintained?

The author archived this repository on GitHub, meaning it is no longer maintained. We show this because it changes what you can expect: an unmaintained server may keep answering for months and then stop without warning.

How do I connect MusicBrainz MCP by UnClick?

Copy the ready config from this page. We generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each in the form that client actually reads. It runs locally, so the command pulls @unclick/musicbrainz-mcp straight from npm; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.

How many people use MusicBrainz MCP by UnClick?

The npm package @unclick/musicbrainz-mcp was installed 37 times in the last week. Week over week that is +311%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.

Is MusicBrainz MCP by UnClick open source?

Yes — it is published under the AGPL-3.0 licence, written in TypeScript, 4 stars on GitHub and 21 open issues. The source link is on this page, so you can read exactly what it does with your data before you connect it.
