How to Use the Last.fm MCP in Windsurf

Q: Can Windsurf use Last.fm tools to generate local code files?

Yes. Windsurf reads your scrobbles using getrecenttracks and Cascade can write a script to save that data into any format you need, like CSV or JSON, directly in your workspace.

Q: Which Last.fm tools can Windsurf access simultaneously?

Windsurf can use all ten tools, including gettopalbums and gettrackinfo. Cascade plans the sequence, running multiple queries back-to-back to compile a complete profile of your listening habits.

Let Windsurf analyze your listening habits and build custom playlists on the fly with the Last.fm MCP Server.

Audit Your Music Taste with Windsurf

The `get_user_info` tool fetches your overall profile statistics so Windsurf can analyze your listening trends. Cascade reads your raw play counts, spots your favorite genres, and suggests new artists to explore based on actual data rather than guesses. You don't have to prompt Cascade for every single step of this scrobble analysis. It calls the user endpoint, grabs your top tags, and maps out your musical profile in one autonomous run.

Build Smart Playlists Automatically

The `get_recent_tracks` tool pulls your latest scrobbles directly into your Windsurf workspace. Cascade chains this with `get_top_artists` to build a localized list of music recommendations in your project files. Because Windsurf handles multi-step tasks on its own, it generates the playlist file, populates it with your real listening history, and keeps it updated without manual intervention. This MCP server integration brings live scrobble data straight to your local development environment.

Enrich Local Metadata with Artist Context

The `get_artist_info` tool retrieves biography and tag data for any musician in your history. Windsurf uses this metadata to organize your personal music library database, matching local files with official Last.fm records. Cascade writes the scripts to update your local JSON files, fetches the missing artist bios, and validates the schema. Connecting this MCP Server means your AI agent has direct access to millions of music profiles.
