How do I find my Last.fm API Key?

Go to the [**Last.fm API account page**](https://www.last.fm/api/account/create), create an API account, and you will find your API Key there. Copy and paste it into the field below.

Can the agent check my top artists for a specific period?

Yes. Use the `get_top_artists` tool providing your username and the desired period (e.g., 'overall', '7day', '1month'). Your agent will return your most-listened artists instantly.

Is it possible to retrieve metadata for a specific track via the agent?

Yes. The `get_track_info` tool allows your agent to fetch complete metadata for any song by providing the artist and track names, including album and listener counts.

Last.fm + Pydantic AI FAQ

Common questions about integrating Last.fm MCP Server with Pydantic AI.

How does Pydantic AI discover MCP tools?

Create an MCPServerHTTP instance with the server URL. Pydantic AI connects, discovers all tools, and generates typed Python interfaces automatically.

Does Pydantic AI validate MCP tool responses?

Yes. When you define result types as Pydantic models, every tool response is validated against the schema. Invalid data raises a clear error instead of silently corrupting your pipeline.

Can I switch LLM providers without changing MCP code?

Absolutely. Pydantic AI abstracts the model layer. your Last.fm MCP integration works identically with OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, or any supported provider.
