MCP Server that connects an LLM to the Beatport API
MCP Server that connects an LLM to the Beatport API. Exposed over MCP by the beatport mcp server, that capability becomes something an assistant can invoke while it works, not something you go and do afterwards.
An MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that provides access to the Beatport API for music discovery and data retrieval.
Everything the assistant can do here goes through one of these:
Catalog — The Catalog tool exposed by this server@ivotoby/beatport-mcp-server on npm is all you need. Most clients run it directly, so configuration is a few lines and a restart.
You will need 4 environment variables: BEATPORT_ACCESS_TOKEN, BEATPORT_USERNAME, BEATPORT_PASSWORD, BEATPORT_REFRESH_TOKEN. The server will not start without them, which is usually why the tools fail to appear on a first run. Keep credentials in your client's env block or a secrets manager rather than in a file you might commit.
Plenty of AI and media services servers cover similar ground. The differences that matter in practice are scope of access and how much setup stands between you and a working tool call. Beatport's toolset — Catalog — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by ivo-toby; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.
SyncDev reviews every entry in this directory against the project's own documentation before publishing, and revisits them as servers change.
