# Melon — AI Connector Melon publishes 26 MCP tools to Claude. Marketplace availability, tool surface, verification tier, and what Node8 measured against the live endpoint. Source: https://node8.ai/ai-connectors/productivity/melon/ --- [AI Connectors](https://node8.ai/ai-connectors/) · [Productivity](https://node8.ai/ai-connectors/productivity/) # Melon Melon charts, catalogue lookups, and personal listening history in Korean Listed in Claude · 26 published tools · Verified partner [Claude connector docs](https://tech.kakaoent.com/ai/using-melon-mcp-server-en/) [newsroom.kakaoent.com](https://newsroom.kakaoent.com/) Overview ## What Melon does Melon is Kakao Entertainment's Korean music service, and the connector splits into catalogue access and account-scoped reads. On the catalogue side it retrieves official charts, song, album and artist detail, genre trees, new releases, curated playlists and unified keyword search. On the personal side it reads recently played items, playlists the account owns, most-played rankings over a chosen period, liked content and per-song streaming history, and it can produce recommendation sets from Melon's own preference model. Playback stays inside the Melon app: the connector hands back URLs rather than audio. Responses are Korean only at the time of listing, with the publisher stating an English version is planned. ### Who it is for Korean-language listeners and chart watchers with an active Melon account. ### Tool surface The endpoint returned 18 tools against the 26 the listing claims. Fourteen are get\_\* reads, two are dj\_mallang recommendation calls, and create\_playback\_url only mints a link, so nothing in the observed set changes an account. Availability ## Where Melon is listed Melon is listed in the Claude connectors directory only. Kakao Entertainment 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 ## In the Claude connectors directory Melon publishes 26 tools to Claude, deeper than 77.5% of the 1,253 Claude-listed connectors. The median Claude-listed connector filed under Productivity publishes 12, so this one runs 14 tools above its bucket's median and ranks 111th of 462 by tool count. It falls in the 21-50 tools band, which holds 20% of the Claude directory. ### Measured against the live endpoint A direct call to the endpoint returned 18 tools, 8 fewer than the 26 the listing publishes. Probed 2026-08-07. #### Tools the server actually returns - `get_music_chart` - `get_playlist_tracks` - `get_music_content_details` - `get_artist_contents` - `get_music_content_url` - `get_genres` - `get_music_contents_by_genre` - `get_recently_played_music_contents` - `get_my_created_playlists` - `get_my_most_listened_songs` - `get_my_liked_music_contents` - `get_latest_music_contents` - `create_playback_url` - `get_melon_curated_playlists` - `search_melon_music_contents` - `recommend_personalized_songs_by_dj_mallang` - `recommend_similar_songs_by_dj_mallang` - `get_song_streaming_report` Melon publishes a remote MCP endpoint. 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. Publisher Kakao Entertainment Verification Verified partner (37.8% of the Claude directory) Filed under Productivity Endpoint `https://mcp.melon.com/mcp/` Documentation [Publisher setup docs](https://tech.kakaoent.com/ai/using-melon-mcp-server-en/) Published tools 26 · 21-50 tools band Depth rank in Productivity 111 of 462 Snapshot August 2026 Melon carries partner verification in the Claude directory, which 474 of 1,253 listings do (37.8%). That is a review step past self-publishing, not an Anthropic-built server.
