Look up detailed information about musicians, albums, recordings and songs from MusicBrainz. Resolve ISRCs, ISWCs and barcodes to find exact recordings and compositions. Retrieve cover art, discographies, credits and relationships between artists and works.

Example request: "Show me the tracklist and cover art for Radiohead's OK Computer album"

How to connect: Not in Muse's Connectors list yet, but Muse can still use it. Paste this into Muse: "Use MusicBrainz to help me. It is a free service with an MCP server at https://musicbrainz.caseyjhand.com/mcp. It does not need an API key. Ask me before you share anything with it." Muse asks before it shares anything with the app's site. Meta does not review apps used this way, so only use ones you trust. We tested this in the Muse app on September 24, 2026: Muse used an app's link directly this way and returned a live answer.

Tools:
- 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 = exact). Starting point when resolving a n
- 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, official site — surfaced as url-rels chainable
- 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 cover-art availability from the Cover Art Archive (image count
- 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-art availability stub. Track lengths are 
- 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 relationships (who played, produced, engin
- 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, and the recordings that perform it. The 
- 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 linked set (a major label can have tens
- 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 (a composition-level code); id_type=barco
- 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_* tools embed at most one page (25) of any 
- 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 information. An MBID that matches no rele
