What it can do

Tool names and descriptions exactly as the server reported them on Nov 15, 2026. The maker wrote them, not us; we show them as plain text.

• directory_list_works

  Use when the user asks: 'list works in PICA', 'works starting with B', 'find works by publisher X', 'browse the catalog', 'a song about love', 'songs about X'. For a theme or subject, search its plain word in q ('love', 'home', 'summer'): titles carry the theme. Start here before

• directory_lookup_work

  Use when the user asks: 'what's the ISWC for X?', 'who wrote X?', 'tell me about song X', 'is this song registered?'. Get the details of a single listed work by ISWC or work UUID. Returns the credits, one per person with each role marked confirmed or not confirmed by that person,

• directory_lookup_isrc

  Use when the user asks: 'lookup ISRC X', 'what's the work for ISRC X?', 'find the work for this recording'. Shortcut: look up the work(s) associated with a recording identifier (ISRC). Equivalent to directory_list_works with an isrc filter, pinned for recording-first discovery. →

• directory_list_people

  Use when the user asks: 'list creators in PICA', 'people starting with B', 'browse the people directory'. Browse and filter creators in the PICA public directory. Filter by free-text (q), ISNI, IPI, or starting letter (A–Z, or '#' for numeric). Returns paginated results. Each res

• directory_lookup_person

  Use when the user asks: 'lookup IPI 12345', 'lookup ISNI X', 'find creator by MusicBrainz ID'. Also use it for the profile of a creator already found with directory_list_people or directory_search. Looks up ONE creator in the PICA public directory by an identifier: global_creator

• directory_search

  Use when the user asks: 'find me X', 'who or what is X?', 'find any record of X', 'a song about X'. Use when the entity type is not yet known. Convenience fan-out across works and creators — runs list_works and list_people with the same query and returns the union. No cross-type

• directory_search_recordings

  Use when the user asks: 'find upbeat tracks around 120 BPM', 'find instrumental tracks in C minor', 'find energetic music for sync', 'tracks at X BPM in [key]'. AUDIO-FEATURE search only — for name- or title-shaped queries use directory_lookup_work, directory_lookup_isrc, or dire

• directory_chain

  Use when the user asks: 'show me the rights chain for X', 'give me everything on this song', 'what's the full picture for X?', 'trace the chain from this writer to that work'. Graph lookup — resolves a query, ISWC, or ISRC to its full rights chain in one call. Each result bundles

• directory_skill_list

  Use when the user asks: 'what skills do you have?', 'what can you do?', 'show me your methodologies', 'how do I find music here?'. Returns the list of downloadable directory skill methodologies — name, description, trigger phrases. Cheap to call. → then: directory_skill_get (load

• directory_skill_get

  Use when the user asks: 'load a directory skill', 'use the sync brief method'. Call after directory_skill_list, to load the one skill the user's request matches (e.g. find-music-for-sync-brief). Returns the full methodology body for one directory skill — markdown with step-by-ste

• directory_release_notes

  Use when the user asks: 'what's new in the directory mcp', 'what changed in the directory', 'directory release notes', 'what version is the directory on'. Returns recent releases of the PICA directory MCP server — what shipped in the public catalogue surface itself. NOT for catal

• directory_send_licensing_enquiry

  Use when the user asks: 'ask the owner if I can license this', 'send a licensing enquiry for X', 'contact the rights holder about using this song'. Side effect: this SENDS AN EMAIL. It records a licensing enquiry for a work listed in the public directory and emails it to the work

• directory_similar_from_owner

  Use when the user asks: 'does this owner have anything similar?', 'any other songs like this from them?'. Typically while they are asking about licensing one song. Returns up to 9 of the SAME owner's other listed works that share this work's topics, genre or tempo, each with the
