TrackRadar MCP Server
Connect an AI assistant to TrackRadar, or call the API from your own code. Give it an Instagram, SoundCloud, YouTube, TikTok or Mixcloud link and get the tracklist back — including underground and unreleased music that audio fingerprinting misses.
Frequently asked questions
What is the TrackRadar MCP server?
An MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that lets AI assistants identify music tracks in social media posts and DJ mixes. Give it an Instagram, SoundCloud, YouTube, TikTok or Mixcloud URL and it returns the tracks it identified, with links to Spotify, Bandcamp, Apple Music and Discogs.
How do I connect it to Claude or another MCP client?
The server URL is https://trackradar.ai/api/mcp over Streamable HTTP. In Claude Code: claude mcp add --transport http trackradar https://trackradar.ai/api/mcp. It is also listed in the official MCP Registry as ai.trackradar/trackradar, so clients that read the registry can discover it. On first use you sign in to your TrackRadar account via OAuth 2.0.
What tools does it expose?
Four. analyze_social_post identifies tracks in a post or mix and counts toward your analysis quota. search_track looks up a known artist and title across platforms, get_recent_analyses lists your recent analyses, and get_analysis returns one full tracklist — those three are free.
Can I use an API key instead of OAuth?
Yes. Send Authorization: Bearer tr_live_YOUR_KEY to the same endpoint and no browser sign-in is needed. API keys are available on paid plans — email admin@trackradar.ai to request one.
Does it find unreleased and underground tracks?
Often, yes — that is what it is built for. Alongside audio fingerprinting it reads captions, comments, on-screen text and published tracklists, which is where underground and unreleased tracks are usually named. It is not exhaustive: a post with no recognizable audio and no track information in its text returns no tracks, and long mixes usually return a partial tracklist.
What does it cost?
A free TrackRadar account includes 3 successful analyses per calendar month, and only successful analyses count. Credits are $4.99 for 10, they never expire, and there is no subscription.
