Frequently asked questions about the AcoustID MCP Server
Do I need an API key?
No! AcoustID's public API works without authentication using a default client key for basic lookups.
How does audio fingerprinting work?
AcoustID uses Chromaprint (fpcalc) to generate a fingerprint from audio. This fingerprint is matched against the database to identify the song. You need to run fpcalc on an audio file to get the fingerprint string.
What is MusicBrainz?
MusicBrainz is an open music encyclopedia that collects music metadata. AcoustID links audio fingerprints to MusicBrainz recordings, enabling song identification through the MusicBrainz ID (MBID).
