Ask with this source

A prompt for your agent that names this source and how to call it through the crw MCP.

  • Area detail

    Use MusicBrainz (musicbrainz) from fastCRW Pergamon, capability "Area detail" (area). You have an area MBID from an artist, label or place record and want to know what country or city it names. Example options: mbid=8a754a16-0027-3a29-b6d7-2b40ea0481ed, inc=aliases. Use the crw MCP tools: crw_find_data to confirm the source and its options, then crw_get_data with provider "musicbrainz" and capability "area". Tell me the credits used and cite the licence from the response. If the crw MCP tools are missing, install them with: npx -y crw-mcp install --api-key <your fastCRW API key>

    Use MusicBrainz (musicbrainz) from fastCRW Pergamon, capability "Artist detail" (artist). You already hold a MusicBrainz artist MBID and want the canonical record behind it.
