Music Collection MCP Server

Music Collection MCP Server is an MCP server that provides access to local music libraries through metadata extraction, folder analysis, and automated album classification. It connects large language models directly to directories on your local disk containing audio files organized by band and album. Music enthusiasts, digital archivists, and audio collectors use this server to scan their disk drives, catalog discographies, and detect collection completeness. The tool automatically classifies media across eight categories, including standard albums, EPs, live recordings, demos, compilations, singles, instrumental tracks, and split releases. By exposing dedicated tools and resources to MCP clients like Claude Desktop, users can query band listings, execute multi-parameter searches, run structural health checks, generate collection analytics, and organize their directory structures without manually editing files.
