# mcp-imslp An MCP server for [IMSLP](https://imslp.org), the Petrucci Music Library: works, scores and recordings of classical music, catalogued by the volunteers who run it. No API key and no account are needed. The library publishes its pages under [CC BY-SA 4.0](https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/), so anything shown from this server credits IMSLP and links the page it came from. ## What it reads, and what it leaves alone Reads go through the MediaWiki API at `/api.php` and through the listing endpoint IMSLP documents on its own `IMSLP:API` page. The robots.txt of the site disallows `/index.php`, `/images/`, `/imglnks/`, `/wiki/File:`, `/works` and `/library/`, and this server builds no address under any of them: **it downloads no score file**, and hands back the link to the work page instead. IMSLP publishes `Crawl-delay: 2`, so requests run one at a time with at least two seconds between them. That floor holds however the server is configured. ## Copyright status A score on IMSLP carries a status per jurisdiction, and the library reviews Canada, the United States and the European Union. A file can read `Public Domain - Non-PD US`: free in one place and protected in another. This server reports the status as published, per jurisdiction, and never flattens it into "public domain". ## Configuration | Variable | Default | What it does | | ------------------------- | -------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | | `IMSLP_USER_AGENT` | the project identity | Names your application; the project identity is appended so IMSLP can reach a person | | `IMSLP_MIN_INTERVAL_MS` | 2500 | Gap between requests, never below 2000 | | `IMSLP_TIMEOUT_MS` | 30000 | Deadline for one request | | `IMSLP_MAX_RETRIES` | 3 | Attempts after a transient failure | | `IMSLP_CACHE_TTL_MS` | 900000 | How long a page stays in memory | | `IMSLP_CACHE_MAX_ENTRIES` | 100 | Pages held at once | | `IMSLP_LOG_LEVEL` | `error` | `silent`, `error`, `info` or `debug`, on stderr | ## Licence MIT, see [LICENSE](LICENSE). The data belongs to IMSLP and its contributors. --- # mcp-imslp (français) Un serveur MCP pour [IMSLP](https://imslp.org), la Petrucci Music Library : œuvres, partitions et enregistrements de musique classique, catalogués par les bénévoles qui la tiennent. Aucune clé d'API, aucun compte. La bibliothèque publie ses pages sous CC BY-SA 4.0, donc tout ce que ce serveur rend attribue à IMSLP et renvoie vers la page d'origine. ## Ce qu'il lit, et ce qu'il laisse Les lectures passent par l'API MediaWiki `/api.php` et par le point d'entrée qu'IMSLP documente sur sa page `IMSLP:API`. Le `robots.txt` du site interdit `/index.php`, `/images/`, `/imglnks/`, `/wiki/File:`, `/works` et `/library/`, et ce serveur ne construit aucune adresse sous ces chemins : **il ne télécharge aucun fichier de partition** et rend le lien de la page de l'œuvre. IMSLP publie `Crawl-delay: 2`, donc les requêtes partent une à une, avec au moins deux secondes entre elles, quelle que soit la configuration. ## Le statut de droits Une partition porte sur IMSLP un statut par juridiction, et la bibliothèque vérifie le Canada, les États-Unis et l'Union européenne. Un fichier peut être `Public Domain - Non-PD US` : libre ici et protégé ailleurs. Ce serveur rend le statut tel qu'il est publié, juridiction par juridiction.
