What is the AcoustID MCP Server?
Connect to AcoustID and identify music from audio fingerprints through natural conversation — no API key needed for basic use.
What you can do
- Song Identification — Identify songs from audio fingerprints (like Shazam)
- Recording Search — Search for recordings by name, artist or MusicBrainz ID
- MBID Lookup — Find all AcoustIDs linked to a MusicBrainz recording
- Metadata Lookup — Get full metadata for recordings including artists and release groups
- Fingerprint Submission — Submit new audio fingerprints to expand the database
How it works
- Subscribe to this server
- No API key needed for basic lookups
- Start identifying songs from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client
Who is this for?
- Music Apps — integrate song identification into audio players and streaming services
- Researchers — analyze audio fingerprints and MusicBrainz recording data
- Music Enthusiasts — identify unknown songs and explore recording metadata

Why Cursor?
Cursor's Agent mode turns AcoustID into an in-editor superpower. Ask Cursor to generate code using live data from AcoustID and it fetches, processes, and writes. all in a single agentic loop. 5 tools appear alongside file editing and terminal access, creating a unified development environment grounded in real-time information.
- —
Agent mode turns Cursor into an autonomous coding assistant that can read files, run commands, and call MCP tools without switching context
- —
Cursor's Composer feature can generate entire files using real-time data fetched through MCP. no copy-pasting from external dashboards
- —
MCP tools appear alongside built-in tools like file reading and terminal access, creating a unified agentic environment
- —
VS Code extension compatibility means your existing workflow, keybindings, and extensions all work alongside MCP tools

Frequently asked questions
Do I need an API key?
No! AcoustID's public API works without authentication using a default client key for basic lookups.
How does audio fingerprinting work?
AcoustID uses Chromaprint (fpcalc) to generate a fingerprint from audio. This fingerprint is matched against the database to identify the song. You need to run fpcalc on an audio file to get the fingerprint string.
What is MusicBrainz?
MusicBrainz is an open music encyclopedia that collects music metadata. AcoustID links audio fingerprints to MusicBrainz recordings, enabling song identification through the MusicBrainz ID (MBID).
What is Agent mode and why does it matter for MCP?
Agent mode is Cursor's autonomous execution mode where the AI can perform multi-step tasks: reading files, editing code, running terminal commands, and calling MCP tools. Without Agent mode, Cursor operates in a simpler ask-and-answer mode that doesn't support tool calling. Always ensure you're in Agent mode when working with MCP servers.
Where does Cursor store MCP configuration?
Cursor looks for MCP server configurations in a mcp.json file. You can configure servers at the project level (.cursor/mcp.json in your project root) or globally (~/.cursor/mcp.json). Project-level configs take precedence.
Can Cursor use MCP tools in inline edits?
No. MCP tools are only available in Agent mode through the chat panel. Inline completions and Tab suggestions do not trigger MCP tool calls. This is by design. tool calls require user visibility and approval.
How do I verify MCP tools are loaded?
Open Settings → Features → MCP and look for your server name. A green indicator means the server is connected. You can also check Agent mode's available tools by clicking the tools dropdown in the chat panel.
Tools not appearing in Cursor
Ensure you are in Agent mode (not Ask mode). MCP tools only work in Agent mode.
Server shows as disconnected
Check Settings → Features → MCP and verify the server status. Try clicking the refresh button.
