MCP server for Last.fm — discover artists, albums and tracks, and browse scrobble history and charts.

Website · Documentation

Features

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

Install

npm install -g @kud/mcp-lastfm

Or install as a Claude plugin from the kud marketplace:

/plugin install lastfm@kud

npm publish is pending — until @kud/mcp-lastfm lands on the registry, install from source (see Development).

Getting an API key

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.)

Configuration

Add it to your MCP client config:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "lastfm": {
      "command": "mcp-lastfm",
      "env": {
        "MCP_LASTFM_API_KEY": "your-api-key",
        "MCP_LASTFM_USERNAME": "your-lastfm-username"
      }
    }
  }
}

Variable	Required	Purpose
`MCP_LASTFM_API_KEY`	yes	Authenticates every request
`MCP_LASTFM_USERNAME`	no	Default account for the `get_user_*` tools, so you can ask "what have I been listening to?" without repeating your username. An explicit `user` argument still overrides it, so you can look up anyone's public profile.

Usage

Once connected, ask your MCP client things like:

> Search for the artist "Slowdive"
> What are Radiohead's top tracks?
> Show me my recent scrobbles
> What's trending on the shoegaze tag right now?
