DJ Music Metadata MCP (Python)

MCP server for DJs to organize metadata with API-based validation and batch writing.

What this server does

• Scans a music folder and finds missing fields.

• Queries external APIs (MusicBrainz and iTunes) to suggest metadata with evidence.

• Computes a confidence score per track and blocks low-confidence writes in strict mode.

• Supports multiple genres per track.

• Writes metadata to MP3, FLAC, and M4A/MP4.

Exposed MCP tools

1. scan_tracks

2. suggest_verified_metadata

3. apply_verified_metadata

4. organize_metadata

5. organize_directory_by_genre

Notes about metadata correction

• suggest_verified_metadata agora aceita fixExistingMetadata (default true) para sugerir correcoes mesmo quando os campos ja estao preenchidos.

• Isso ajuda a corrigir genero preenchido incorretamente e limpar title/artist quando vierem misturados.

Requirements

• Python 3.10+

Optional API credentials

• Spotify (recommended):

  • SPOTIFY_CLIENT_ID

  • SPOTIFY_CLIENT_SECRET

• SoundCloud (optional):

  • SOUNDCLOUD_CLIENT_ID

If these variables are not configured, the server still works with MusicBrainz and iTunes.

Install

pip install -r requirements.txt

Run

python server.py

Launcher desktop (React + Tailwind + Python)

O projeto agora inclui um launcher desktop para:

• Iniciar/parar o servidor MCP

• Selecionar modo streamable-http ou stdio

• Configurar conexao automatica para VS Code, Cursor e Claude Code

Stack da interface:

• Shell desktop: pywebview (Python)

• Frontend: React + Tailwind CSS (Vite)

Rodar launcher em desenvolvimento:

cd ui
npm install
npm run build
cd ..
python launcher.py

Observacao:

• Se o launcher for executavel (.exe), ele tambem funciona como processo do servidor via --server.

Gerar executavel (Windows)

Use o script (compila frontend e empacota exe):

build_exe.bat

Resultado esperado:

dist/DJMetadataLauncher.exe

Example (Windows PowerShell):

$env:SPOTIFY_CLIENT_ID="your_client_id"
$env:SPOTIFY_CLIENT_SECRET="your_client_secret"
$env:SOUNDCLOUD_CLIENT_ID="your_client_id"
python server.py

MCP setup (VS Code)

Example file: mcp.server.json

Opcao recomendada: use o launcher e clique em Conectar automaticamente com Agente = VS Code.

Connect (local and remote)

1. Local (recommended for personal use)

Run:

python server.py

Then configure your MCP client with stdio command.

2. Remote/public (HTTP + API key)

Create an .env file from .env.example and set MCP_API_KEY.

Run:

MCP_TRANSPORT=streamable-http MCP_HOST=0.0.0.0 MCP_PORT=8000 python server.py

Your endpoint will be:

https://your-domain.com/mcp

Cursor (remote)

mcp.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "dj-metadata": {
      "url": "https://your-domain.com/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer <your-api-key>"
      }
    }
  }
}

Opcao recomendada: use o launcher e clique em Conectar automaticamente com Agente = Cursor.

Claude Code (remote)

claude mcp add --transport http dj-metadata https://your-domain.com/mcp --header "Authorization: Bearer <your-api-key>"

Opcao recomendada: use o launcher e clique em Conectar automaticamente com Agente = Claude Code.

Notes

• This server modifies local files; if you host it remotely, ensure each user is isolated to their own folder.

• Keep dryRun=true as the default workflow before writing metadata.

Recommended workflow

1. Run scan_tracks to map missing fields.

2. Run suggest_verified_metadata with minConfidence between 0.78 and 0.90.

3. Review per-track evidence.

4. Run apply_verified_metadata with dryRun true.

5. If results look correct, run again with dryRun false.

Example 1: scan

Tool: scan_tracks

{
  "folderPath": "D:/DJ/Setlist",
  "recursive": true
}

Example 2: API-based verified suggestion

Tool: suggest_verified_metadata

{
  "folderPath": "D:/DJ/Setlist",
  "recursive": true,
  "minConfidence": 0.82,
  "onlyMissing": true
}

Example 3: apply in strict mode

Tool: apply_verified_metadata

{
  "dryRun": true,
  "strict": true,
  "minConfidence": 0.82,
  "updates": [
    {
      "filePath": "D:/DJ/Setlist/Artist - Track.mp3",
      "confidence": 0.91,
      "evidence": [
        { "source": "musicbrainz", "recordingId": "..." }
      ],
      "metadata": {
        "title": "Track",
        "artist": "Artist",
        "genre": ["Tech House", "House"],
        "comment": ["Validated by API"]
      }
    }
  ]
}

Set dryRun to false to write changes.
