## Tools (as reported by the server, not verified)

- `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, subtype where applicable, release status, and a 0–100 relevance score \(100 = exact\). Release rows use
- `musicbrainz\_get\_artist`: Artist profile by MBID: type, country, life span, gender, area, aliases, tags/genres, release-groups, band-membership / collaboration relationships, and external links. Release-groups embed one upstream page \(25\); relationships are not capped. For the complete release-group list, call musicbrainz\_br
- `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 and front/back flag
- `musicbrainz\_get\_release`: One edition by MBID: ordered media with tracks, lengths and recording MBIDs, label + catalog number, barcode, country, release date, packaging, text representation, and a cover-art availability stub. media\_offset \(default 0\) and media\_limit \(default 20, no maximum\) select whole media after normaliza
- `musicbrainz\_get\_recording`: Recording \(a specific performance, distinct from the abstract work\) by MBID: length, artist credits, ISRCs, one upstream page of release appearances with completeness metadata, work relationships, and performer/production credits with attributes and dates. Relationships are not capped. Enumerate rel
- `musicbrainz\_get\_work`: Work \(a composition, distinct from a recording\) by MBID: type, languages, ISWCs, writers/composers/lyricists, movements, arrangements, aliases, tags, and external links. Follow work target MBIDs with this tool; direction, orderingKey, and targetDisambiguation distinguish parts and arrangements witho
- `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 \(a major label can have tens of thousands\), so t
- `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=barcode → releases \(UPC/E
- `musicbrainz\_browse\_entities`: Paginate entities linked to one parent MBID. Accepted parents by target: artist → area, recording, release, release-group, work; label → area, release; release-group → artist, release; release → area, artist, label, recording, release-group; recording → artist, release, work; work → artist.
