Perplexity

Run deep catalog searches in Claude Desktop

The `search_tracks` tool gives your Claude Desktop app instant access to Jamendo's entire music library via this MCP Server. You can filter by tags, artists, or genres without leaving your chat window. If you are looking for specific vibes, `autocomplete_search` resolves prefix queries on the fly. This lets you build custom playlists inside Claude Desktop based on real-time metadata.

Analyze track reviews and artist locations

The `get_track_reviews` tool pulls raw user feedback and ratings directly into your workspace. Claude Desktop parses these reviews to filter out low-quality tracks before you export them. By calling `get_artist_locations`, the MCP Server maps artists geographically, letting you curate local music scenes. You can also trace where the music comes from.

Manage your personal library and radios

The `list_radios` tool lets Claude Desktop fetch active radio streams for background music while you work. Your agent pulls stream URLs using `get_radio_stream` so you can listen without opening a browser tab. When you find a track you love, `set_user_favorite` saves it to your account immediately. This write back requires an OAuth2 token, which Claude Desktop securely passes during the session.
