Who it is for
Music metadata and rights teams matching recordings to works and rightsholders.
AI Connectors · Entertainment & Media
Music credit and identifier lookups across ISRC, ISWC, IPI, ISNI and UPC
Overview
Credits.fm answers questions about who made a recording. It resolves the identifier system the music industry runs on, ISRC for recordings, ISWC for compositions, IPI and ISNI for people and organisations, UPC for releases, and normalises across them so a recording can be matched to its underlying work and to the rightsholders behind it.
The server is public and takes no authentication. Lookups are single-call, a batch tool covers larger jobs, and Credits.fm publishes documentation. The connector is community-listed.
Music metadata and rights teams matching recordings to works and rightsholders.
Fourteen tools answered without credentials. Five are direct identifier lookups, two resolve free text or a URL to a track, credits_graph and credits_graph_activity walk relationships between artists and works, and credits_batch_lookup covers volume.
Availability
Credits.fm is listed in the Claude connectors directory only. Credits.fm has no app under the same domain in the ChatGPT directory; 392 of the 3,150 products here are on both marketplaces, and this is not one of them.
The MCP server behind a Claude connector is usually the same server a ChatGPT app would need, so the absence is a distribution decision rather than a technical one.
Claude listing
Credits.fm publishes 14 tools to Claude. That is a mid-sized surface: 56.6% of the 1,253 Claude-listed connectors expose fewer.
The median Claude-listed connector filed under Entertainment & Media publishes 11, so this one runs 3 tools above its bucket's median and ranks 6th of 13 by tool count.
It falls in the 11-20 tools band, which holds 22.5% of the Claude directory.
A direct call to the endpoint returned 17 tools, 3 more than the 14 the listing publishes. Probed 2026-08-07.

Claude connects to it over HTTP; there is nothing to install locally.
Every connector in the Claude directory is remote, all 1,253 of them, so transport is not a differentiator there.
https://credits.fm/mcp Credits.fm is community-listed in the Claude directory, the tier 770 of 1,253 connectors sit in (61.5%). It is the default for a self-published server, and says nothing either way about quality.
In the publisher's words
Credits.fm is a public MCP server that lets AI agents look up and resolve music credits and identifiers in real time. It supports fast searches and normalization across core music IDs including ISRC, ISWC, IPI, ISNI, and UPC, helping agents match recordings to works and rightsholders with higher confidence. Use it to enrich metadata, validate identifiers, and power music-aware workflows without authentication. Designed for lightweight, high-signal lookups that can be embedded directly into agent tools and automations.

This is an independent catalogue entry compiled by Node8 from Credits.fm's public marketplace listing as it stood in August 2026. Listing facts come from the marketplaces; the comparisons against the rest of the directory and any live-endpoint measurements are Node8's. Node8 is not affiliated with Credits.fm, and inclusion here is not an endorsement.
Node8 builds MCP servers end to end: deciding which tools are worth exposing, the authentication and permission model, the review submissions, and the onboarding that gets them used. One server serves ChatGPT, Claude, and Microsoft Copilot.
