About AcoustID MCP Server
Connect to AcoustID and identify music from audio fingerprints through natural conversation — no API key needed for basic use.
Windsurf's Cascade agent chains multiple AcoustID tool calls autonomously. query data, analyze results, and generate code in a single agentic session. Paste Vinkius Edge URL, reload, and all 5 tools are immediately available. Real-time tool feedback appears inline, so you see API responses directly in your editor.
What you can do
- Song Identification — Identify songs from audio fingerprints (like Shazam)
- Recording Search — Search for recordings by name, artist or MusicBrainz ID
- MBID Lookup — Find all AcoustIDs linked to a MusicBrainz recording
- Metadata Lookup — Get full metadata for recordings including artists and release groups
- Fingerprint Submission — Submit new audio fingerprints to expand the database
The AcoustID MCP Server exposes 5 tools through the Vinkius. Connect it to Windsurf in under two minutes — no API keys to rotate, no infrastructure to provision, no vendor lock-in. Your configuration, your data, your control.
