Provides 41 read-only tools for interacting with Last.fm, including searching artists, albums, and tracks; retrieving artist, album, and track details; accessing user scrobble history, loved tracks, friends, top artists/tracks/albums/tags, and weekly charts; fetching global, tag, and country charts; obtaining name corrections; and library lookups.
Click on "Install Server".
Wait a few minutes for the server to deploy. Once ready, it will show a "Started" state.
In the chat, type @ followed by the MCP server name and your instructions, e.g., "@mcp-lastfm Search for the artist 'Mogwai'"
That's it! The server will respond to your query, and you can continue using it as needed.
Here is a step-by-step guide with screenshots.
MCP server for Last.fm — discover artists, albums and tracks, and browse scrobble history and charts.
Website · Documentation
41 read-only tools — search, artist, album/track, user, chart, tag, geo, and library lookups, all backed by the official Last.fm API
Scrobble history at a glance — pull any user's recent tracks, loved tracks, friends, top artists/tracks/albums/tags, and weekly charts over a chosen time period
Global, tag, and country charts — surface what's trending on Last.fm overall, within a tag (e.g. shoegaze), or by country
Name corrections — check Last.fm's canonical-name correction data for misspelled artists and tracks
Just an API key — a single MCP_LASTFM_API_KEY, no OAuth flow or session handshake; set an optional MCP_LASTFM_USERNAME to default the user tools to your own account
Safe by design — read-only throughout; no scrobbling, no writes, nothing that touches a user's Last.fm account

npm install -g @kud/mcp-lastfmOr install as a Claude plugin from the kud marketplace:
/plugin install lastfm@kudnpm publish is pending — until
@kud/mcp-lastfmlands on the registry, install from source (see Development).
Go to last.fm/api/account/create (you'll need to be signed in to a Last.fm account).
Fill in Application name (e.g. mcp-lastfm) and a short description. Leave Callback URL blank — it's only used for the web login flow, which this read-only server doesn't need.
Submit. Last.fm shows you an API key and a shared secret — you only need the API key. (The shared secret is for signed write calls like scrobbling, which aren't supported here.)
Add it to your MCP client config:
