Perplexity

Analyze your music habits

Feed your listening stats into Claude Desktop to understand your actual rotation. Use `get_top_tracks` and `get_top_artists` to pull the raw numbers behind your recent obsessions. Stop guessing what you played most this month. This MCP Server gives your agent direct access to your profile data so you can see exactly where your time goes.

Fetch precise track metadata

Get the context you need for any song or album using `get_track_info` and `get_album_info`. You'll get release dates, play counts, and tag data without switching tabs. Claude Desktop can now look up the details for obscure records you're curious about. It's faster than searching manually and keeps your context inside the chat window.

Track your recent activity

See what you heard an hour ago by running `get_recent_tracks`. The tool pulls your latest scrobbles so you can discuss your current mood with your agent. It's a quick way to review your recent rotation before you start a new coding session. You'll have a clear view of your listening patterns right when you need them.
