Browse Deezer charts directly in Claude Desktop

The `get_chart` tool pulls real-time music charts straight into your Claude Desktop interface using ISO country codes. Ask Claude for the top tracks in France, and it hits the API, returning active rankings without making you open a browser tab. This integration lets you explore trending music using native JSON responses. Your agent parses the chart data to build custom recommendations or track current global audio trends on the fly.

Build playlists using this Deezer MCP Server

The `search_playlists` tool scans the entire platform for user-curated audio lists matching your prompt. Claude Desktop processes the results, showing you creator names, fan counts, and total track numbers in a clean text layout. You can drill down further by calling `get_playlist` to extract the exact tracklist. This lets your local agent analyze song sequencing or compile music metadata for your personal projects.

Pull deep artist metadata into your chat

The `get_artist` tool fetches verified profiles, fan metrics, and album counts directly inside Claude Desktop. When you ask about a musician, your agent calls this tool alongside `get_artist_top_tracks` to map out their most popular work instantly. Running these queries locally via stdio means the raw music data feeds directly into your active workspace. You get immediate access to artist radios through `get_artist_radio` without dealing with manual API keys.
