# Last.fm MCP Server

A [Model Context Protocol](https://modelcontextprotocol.io/) (MCP) server for Last.fm. Gives AI assistants access to your listening history, music discovery, and detailed track/artist/album information.

Runs on Cloudflare Workers with OAuth 2.0 authentication. Public tools (track info, artist info, similar artists) work without signing in -- connect your Last.fm account to access personal listening data.

## Quick start

### Claude.ai / Claude Desktop

1. Open **Settings** -> **Connectors** -> **Add Custom Connector**
2. Enter `https://lastfm-mcp.com/mcp`
3. Sign in to Last.fm when prompted

### Claude Code

```bash
claude mcp add --transport http lastfm "https://lastfm-mcp.com/mcp"
```

### Windsurf

Add to `~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json`:

```json
{
	"mcpServers": {
		"lastfm": {
			"serverUrl": "https://lastfm-mcp.com/mcp"
		}
	}
}
```

### Other MCP clients

For clients that don't support remote servers directly (Continue.dev, Zed, etc.), use `mcp-remote`:

```json
{
	"mcpServers": {
		"lastfm": {
			"command": "npx",
			"args": ["-y", "mcp-remote", "https://lastfm-mcp.com/mcp"]
		}
	}
}
```

### MCP Inspector

```bash
npx @modelcontextprotocol/inspector https://lastfm-mcp.com/mcp
```

## Authentication

The server uses OAuth 2.0. When you connect from a supported client, your browser opens to Last.fm to authorize access. Tokens persist across sessions.

Public tools work without signing in. You only need to connect your account for personal listening data.

## Development

### Prerequisites

- Node.js 20 or newer (CI runs 20)
- Cloudflare Workers account
- Last.fm API key ([create one here](https://www.last.fm/api/account/create))

### Local setup

```bash
git clone https://github.com/rianvdm/lastfm-mcp.git
cd lastfm-mcp
npm install
```

Create `.dev.vars` (or copy `.dev.vars.example`):

```
LASTFM_API_KEY=your_api_key
LASTFM_SHARED_SECRET=your_shared_secret
```

```bash
npm run dev
```

Test with the inspector:

```bash
npx @modelcontextprotocol/inspector http://localhost:8787/mcp
```

### Deployment

Set production secrets (or run `npm run setup:prod`, which creates the KV namespaces and prompts for these):

```bash
echo "your_api_key" | wrangler secret put LASTFM_API_KEY --env production
echo "your_shared_secret" | wrangler secret put LASTFM_SHARED_SECRET --env production
```

Deploy:

```bash
npm run deploy:prod
```

### Testing

```bash
npm test          # vitest, in workerd via @cloudflare/vitest-pool-workers
npm run lint
npm run build     # wrangler deploy --dry-run: catches type and binding errors
```

## Architecture

- Runtime: Cloudflare Workers
- Protocol: MCP (streamable HTTP)
- Auth: OAuth 2.0 (RFC 9728) via `@cloudflare/workers-oauth-provider`; the provider owns sessions and tokens
- Storage: Cloudflare KV for OAuth state, sessions, caching, and rate-limit counters
- Rate limiting: per-IP on `/mcp`, so one client can't exhaust the shared Last.fm API key's budget
- API: Last.fm Web API v2.0

### Endpoints

| Endpoint                                  | Purpose                                     |
| ----------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------- |
