Musicbrainz is a remote MCP server that gives an AI agent 10 tools, among them musicbrainz_browse_entities, musicbrainz_get_artist, musicbrainz_get_cover_art. It answers at https://musicbrainz.caseyjhand.com/mcp over streamable HTTP, and it listed its tools to an anonymous client, so no sign-in was needed for that. Our probes reached it 6 of 6 times since 11 September 2026; the last check, on 21 October 2026, succeeded.
Search MusicBrainz artists, releases, works, labels; resolve ISRC/ISWC/barcode; fetch cover art.
Description as the publisher wrote it.
| Tool | What it does |
|---|---|
musicbrainz_browse_entities | Paginate the COMPLETE set of entities linked to a parent MBID — every release-group by an artist, every release on a label, every recording of a work, every release in a release-group. This is the only complete-enumeration path: the get_* t Inputs: target_type, link, limit, offset |
musicbrainz_get_artist | Artist profile by MBID: type (person/group/…), country, life span, gender, area, aliases, tags/genres, plus the discography (release-groups) and band-membership / collaboration relationships and external links (Wikidata QID, Discogs, offici Inputs: mbid, inc_release_groups, inc_relationships |
musicbrainz_get_cover_art | Cover Art Archive images for a release or release-group MBID: front/back flags, image types, full-resolution URLs, and 250/500/1200px thumbnail URLs. Returns an empty image set (NOT an error) when the entity has no art — absence of art is i Inputs: mbid, entity_type |
musicbrainz_get_label | Label by MBID: type (Original Production, Reissue, Imprint, …), country, life span, label code (the LC number), area, aliases, tags, and external links (url-rels — Wikidata, Discogs, official site). A label's releases are a potentially huge Inputs: mbid |
musicbrainz_get_recording | Recording (a specific performance/track, distinct from the abstract work) by MBID: length, artist credits, ISRCs, the releases it appears on, the work(s) it performs (work-rels — chain to musicbrainz_get_work), and performance/production re Inputs: mbid, inc_relationships |
musicbrainz_get_release | One edition's full detail by MBID: the tracklist (media → tracks → recordings with lengths and recording MBIDs), label + catalog number, barcode, country, release date, format, packaging, text representation (language/script), and a cover-a Inputs: mbid |
musicbrainz_get_release_group | Release-group ("the album" above specific pressings) by MBID: primary type (Album/Single/EP) and secondary types (Live/Compilation), first-release date, artist credit, the list of releases (editions), tags/genres, and a cover-art availabili Inputs: mbid |
musicbrainz_get_work | Work (a composition — the song as written, distinct from any specific recording) by MBID: type, language(s), ISWCs (the work-level standard identifier), writer/composer/lyricist relationships (with the credited artist MBID), aliases, tags, Inputs: mbid, inc_relationships |
musicbrainz_lookup_identifier | Resolve a standard identifier to MusicBrainz entities without a name search — the deterministic path when you already hold an ID. id_type=isrc → recordings (a recording-level code, often shared by several recordings); id_type=iswc → works ( Inputs: id_type, value |
musicbrainz_search_entities | Full-text search across a MusicBrainz entity type (artist, release-group, release, recording, work, label) using a Lucene query string. Returns ranked matches with MBID, name/title, disambiguation, type, and a 0–100 relevance score (100 = e Inputs: entityType, query, limit, offset |

Put the server under mcpServers in ~/.cursor/mcp.json with the URL https://musicbrainz.caseyjhand.com/mcp. The exact JSON is above, with the same setup for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, VS Code, Windsurf, Zed, Gemini CLI and the rest.
It listed its tools to an anonymous client, so reading the tool list needs no key. Individual tools can still ask for credentials in their own inputs.
