King Crimson tools (12)

write = sends, deletes, buys or posts

Read from the package source without running it. The installed server may list more.

  • get_artwork

    Get cover art for a release group from the Cover Art Archive.

  • get_credits

    Get performer and production credits for an album (release group).

  • get_editions

    List physical editions/pressings of an album via Discogs.

  • get_incarnations

    List King Crimson's line-up eras (incarnations): id, name, date range, members with instruments, key releases, and a one-line note.

  • get_live_history

    Search live performance history / setlists via setlist.fm.

  • refresh_box_sets_cache

    Fetch King Crimson's compilations and box sets from Discogs and cache their tracklists, so song_box_sets can list which box sets contain a song.

  • refresh_live_releases_cache

    Fetch King Crimson's official live releases from MusicBrainz and cache them locally, parsing a recording date out of each title where possible.

  • refresh_setlist_cache

    Fetch an artist's complete concert history from setlist.fm and cache it locally as JSON, so song/tour analysis runs instantly and offline.

  • search_release

    Search MusicBrainz for release groups (albums) matching a query.

  • song_box_sets

    List King Crimson box sets / compilations that contain a given song (from Discogs). Complements song_live_releases: that tool maps single-show live albums to eras; this one covers the multi-show box sets and comps that date-matching can't resolve.

  • song_live_releases

    Find official live releases that captured a given song, grouped by incarnation (line-up era).

  • song_performance_history

    Trace how often and when a song was played live, from the local setlist cache. Run refresh_setlist_cache first. Aggregates by year and by tour so a song's life across decades and line-ups is visible at a glance.

King Crimson Discography MCP Server

日本語版: README.ja.md <!-- mcp-name: io.github.ytkoka/king-crimson-mcp --> An MCP server that surfaces King Crimson record and live-performance data — including a curated incarnation (line-up era) model that shows how each song belongs to specific eras of the band.

What makes this different

Generic MusicBrainz/Discogs MCP servers can already fetch releases, credits, and pressings. This server does that too, but adds two things a band-agnostic discography tool structurally can't have:

  • A cross-source integration layer keyed on MBID. MusicBrainz, Discogs, Cover Art Archive, and setlist.fm are stitched together so one release-group MBID gets you credits, physical editions, artwork, and live history without re-resolving identities per source.
  • A King Crimson incarnation model. King Crimson's line-up turned over almost completely, many times, over five decades — the same song can mean a totally different band depending on the year. This server hand-curates eight line-up eras and cross-references every tracked song's live-performance history against them:
  • A local, offline-first concert cache. Full concert history (1,200+ shows) is fetched once via refreshsetlistcache and cached as JSON. Every subsequent song/tour/era query reads the cache — instant, and immune to setlist.fm's intermittent rate-limit failures during analysis.
  • Reverse lookup: song → the live albums that captured it, by era. Ask "which live releases contain Red?" and get them grouped by incarnation. It cross-references two things this server already knows — when a song was played (from the setlist cache) and when each official live album was recorded (parsed from its title) — so it answers a question neither MusicBrainz nor Discogs answers directly.

For Red, this surfaces 37 single-show live albums across the Discipline, THRAK, ProjeKcts and Three-drummer eras — and correctly shows none from the 1974 line-up that recorded it, which never played it live (numbers as of this writing; MusicBrainz's catalog can grow).
