Wraps the MusicBrainz Web Service v2 API to give Claude search and lookup access to the open music encyclopedia. You get two straightforward tools: search_artists returns IDs, names, types, and countries, while search_releases pulls album titles, formats, and dates. No auth required since MusicBrainz is free and open. Useful when you need structured music metadata for cataloging, recommendation features, or any workflow that touches artist discographies and release information. Hosted through Pipeworx's gateway infrastructure, so you can connect via streamable HTTP without running your own server.
MusicBrainz MCP — wraps MusicBrainz Web Service v2 (free, no auth)
Part of Pipeworx — an MCP gateway connecting AI agents to 673+ live data sources.
| Tool | Description |
|---|---|
search_artists | Search for music artists by name. Returns artist IDs, names, types, and countries. Use get_artist to fetch full discography and biographical details. |
search_releases | Search for albums and releases by title or artist name. Returns release IDs, titles, artists, release dates, and formats. |
Add to your MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.):
{
"mcpServers": {
"musicbrainz": {
"url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/musicbrainz/mcp"
}
}
}
Or connect to the full Pipeworx gateway for access to all 673+ data sources:
{
"mcpServers": {
"pipeworx": {
"url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/mcp"
}
}
}
Instead of calling tools directly, you can ask questions in plain English:
ask_pipeworx({ question: "your question about Musicbrainz data" })
The gateway picks the right tool and fills the arguments automatically.
