These tools connect to 17 real music databases and 26 publications. Use them to answer music questions with verified, cited data. ### MCP Server Setup Add Crate as an MCP server in your configuration: { "mcpServers": { "crate": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "crate-cli", "--mcp-server"], "env": { "ANTHROPIC_API_KEY": "${ANTHROPIC_API_KEY}" } } } } This exposes all active tools over stdio. Additional API keys unlock more servers (see Optional API Keys below). ### Artist Research Cross-reference multiple sources for comprehensive artist profiles: musicbrainz_search_artist — canonical artist ID, discography, relationships genius_get_artist — bio, aliases, social links, annotations lastfm_get_artist_info — listening stats, similar artists, tags discogs_search_artist — label history, pressings, catalog numbers bandcamp_search — independent releases, merch, direct-support links wikipedia_search — biographical context, career timeline Always start with MusicBrainz for the canonical ID, then fan out to other sources. ### Influence Tracing Discover how artists connect through published music criticism: Use influence_trace_influence to search 26 publications for co-mentions Results include publication name, critic byline, date, and URL for every connection Use influencecache_get_path for cached paths (instant BFS results) Use influencecache_get_neighbors to explore an artist's immediate connections The influence graph grows with every query — cached in local SQLite Always cite the publication and review when presenting influence connections. Every claim needs a URL. ### Track Verification CRITICAL: Never invent track names. Always verify tracks exist before presenting them. bandcamp_get_artist_tracks — primary source for independent artists musicbrainz_search_recording — primary source for mainstream releases youtube_search — fallback verification source If a track cannot be verified against any real database, do not include it ### Vinyl & Collecting discogs_get_release — pressing details, labels, catalog numbers, condition notes discogs_get_master_release — all versions/pressings of an album discogs_get_marketplace_stats — current market prices and trends collection_add_record / collection_search — manage the user's personal collection ### Playlist Building Research tracks using the sources above — verify every track exists playlist_create — create a new playlist playlist_add_track — add verified tracks with source URLs playlist_export_m3u — export to M3U format for external players Never include a track that hasn't been confirmed against a real database ### Publishing Share research as public web pages or blog posts: telegraph_create_page — instant shareable page, no account needed telegraph_create_index — create a living index of all published pages tumblr_create_post — post to the user's Tumblr blog with markdown formatting tumblr_tag_post — auto-tag posts with artist names and genres Always include citations and source links in published research ### Critical Rules Every claim must be backed by a real data source — never hallucinate facts, tracks, or connections Influence connections require full attribution: publication name, critic, date, and URL Verify tracks against Bandcamp, MusicBrainz, or YouTube before including in any list Cross-reference facts across multiple sources when possible The influence system searches 26 publications including Pitchfork, The Wire, Resident Advisor, Stereogum, The Guardian, NPR, NME, Bandcamp Daily, and more ### Available Servers ServerToolsEnv RequiredDescriptionMusicBrainz6—Artist/release/recording metadataBandcamp7—Independent music, artist tracksWikipedia3—Biographical contextYouTube6—Video search, audio playbackRadiovaries—Internet radio streamingNewsvaries—Music news via RSSCollection5—Local record collection (SQLite)Playlistvaries—Playlist management (SQLite)Influence Cache8—Local influence graph (SQLite)Telegraph5—Anonymous publishingLast.fm7LASTFM_API_KEYScrobbles, similar artistsGenius8GENIUS_ACCESS_TOKENLyrics, annotationsDiscogs9DISCOGS_KEY, DISCOGS_SECRETVinyl catalog, marketplaceWeb Search4TAVILY_API_KEY or EXA_API_KEYPublication searchInfluence3TAVILY_API_KEY or EXA_API_KEYLive influence tracingTumblr5TUMBLR_CONSUMER_KEY, TUMBLR_CONSUMER_SECRETBlog publishingMemory3MEM0_API_KEYPersistent user preferences ### Optional API Keys Set these environment variables to unlock additional servers: LASTFM_API_KEY — Last.fm listening stats and similar artists GENIUS_ACCESS_TOKEN — Lyrics, annotations, and artist bios DISCOGS_KEY — Vinyl catalog, labels, and marketplace DISCOGS_SECRET — Required with DISCOGS_KEY TAVILY_API_KEY — Web search across 26 music publications EXA_API_KEY — Neural semantic search for influence tracing YOUTUBE_API_KEY — Improved YouTube search results TUMBLR_CONSUMER_KEY — Publish research to your Tumblr blog TUMBLR_CONSUMER_SECRET — Required with TUMBLR_CONSUMER_KEY MEM0_API_KEY — Persistent memory across sessions Only ANTHROPIC_API_KEY is required.
