How to Use the 7digital MCP in VS Code Copilot

Q: Can VS Code Copilot search 7digital for albums?

Yes, the agent runs the searchrelease tool to find records by title or artist. It pulls down release dates, types, and official URLs for your code.

Explore the 7digital catalog from VS Code Copilot

Finding music data starts when your AI client triggers `search_artist` to locate specific bands or singers. Copilot grabs the artist ID and total release count directly from the API. Regional filtering works by passing a standard country code like "DE" or "US". Listing a musician's entire catalog requires the `get_artist_releases` tool. The agent categorizes everything into albums, singles, EPs, and compilations. This gives your team accurate metadata to build database seeds or test fixtures.

Fetch audio streams and track metadata via MCP

Locating individual songs is the job of the `search_track` tool. VS Code retrieves track titles, durations, and explicit content warnings without leaving the IDE. You get real data structures to work with instead of hardcoded strings. Grabbing playable audio involves calling `get_track_preview` with a valid track ID. Copilot returns an audio/mpeg URL that you can embed in your HTML audio tags. Testing media playback features becomes trivial when you have live stream links.

Implement music purchasing with this MCP Server

Staging a transaction happens when the agent uses `add_to_basket` to queue up a release. The tool returns the updated cart contents along with current pricing. Checking the existing queue is done via `get_basket`, listing quantities and titles. Creating the payment flow requires the `get_checkout_url` endpoint. Copilot grabs the secure link and a return URL parameter to handle the redirect after a user buys something. Your team needs a developer account with basket privileges to test these commerce functions.
