MCP tools · 10 exposed · ~2,048 tokens

The tools this component advertises to a client, with an estimated token cost for each. Expand a tool to see its parameters and schema. The per-tool counts are indicative and are not scored directly; the schema's total context footprint is one signal in Schema Quality & AI Usability.

Tool Tokens
musescore_download ~385

Get the official MuseScore file for a free or already-entitled score (pdf, mid, mscz, or mxl). Identify the score by a url (a musescore.com score URL or /user/<id>/scores/<id> path) or a user_id + score_id pair. Without output_path it returns the official download URL for you to open in your signed-in browser tab; with output_path it downloads the actual file bytes (incl. multi-page official PDF) to that local path. For PDF downloads, setting fallback_svg=true will render page 1 from its SVG when the official download is likely blocked (not free, no hasAccess) or fails (403, S3 error). If a score is view-free but its download is Premium/purchase-gated, returns a structured {status:"gated", requiresPurchase:true, downloadUrl, scoreUrl, svgStitchAvailable} result (no file written) rather than erroring.

NameTypeReqDescription
fallback_svgbooleanIf true and the official PDF download is likely blocked (not free, no hasAccess) or fails (403, S3 error), fall back to rendering page 1 as a PDF from its SVG thumbnail. Defaults to false. Only appli…
formatstringDownload format. Defaults to pdf.
output_pathstringIf set, download the file bytes for the chosen format to this local path (parent dirs created). Omit to just resolve the official URL.
score_idstringNumeric score id (with user_id).
urlstringA musescore.com score URL or /user/<id>/scores/<id> path. Provide this OR user_id + score_id.
user_idstringNumeric uploader id (with score_id).

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

musescore_fetch_svgs ~231

Download a score’s per-page render SVGs (from musescore.com/static) into output_dir as page_<n>.svg. Pairs with musescore_svg_to_pdf. Page 1 is always rendered (it is the score’s public thumbnail, so paid scores work too); multi-page scores succeed and the result carries pagesRendered/pagesTotal/truncated (truncated:true means pages 2+ are gated behind a protected API).

NameTypeReqDescription
output_dirstringyesLocal directory to write page_<n>.svg into. Created if missing.
pagesarray1-based page numbers to fetch. Only page 1 is available locally (pages 2+ are gated behind a protected API); requesting any other page errors. Defaults to page 1.
score_idstringNumeric score id (with user_id).
urlstringA musescore.com score URL or /user/<id>/scores/<id> path. Provide this OR user_id + score_id.
user_idstringNumeric uploader id (with score_id).

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

musescore_get_score ~174

Fetch a single MuseScore score page and return its metadata: title, uploader/arranger, original composer(s), license, page/part counts, duration, measures, key, privacy, and upload/update dates. Identify the score by either a url (a musescore.com score URL or /user/<id>/scores/<id> path) or a user_id + score_id pair. Read-only; does not download the score (free-download eligibility is decided per-account at download time).

NameTypeReqDescription
score_idstringNumeric score id (with user_id).
urlstringA musescore.com score URL or /user/<id>/scores/<id> path. Provide this OR user_id + score_id.
user_idstringNumeric uploader id (with score_id).

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

musescore_get_session_context ~47

Return the full set of registered sessions plus the current `active_session_id`. When no sessions are registered, `sessions` is empty and `active_session_id` is null.

Input schema present but exposes no named parameters.

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

musescore_healthcheck ~106

Round-trips a small public musescore.com URL (/robots.txt) through the fetchproxy bridge and returns diagnostics: the bridge's role (host/peer/null), port, version, the elapsed round-trip time, and a plain-English hint distinguishing 'bridge never came up' from 'extension not connected' from 'real musescore.com-side problem'. Call this when a real tool fails and you want to know which hop broke. Read-only, no auth required.

Input schema present but exposes no named parameters.

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

musescore_register_session ~156

Register (or refresh) an authenticated MuseScore session keyed by signed-in account identity. Re-registering the same `account_identity` updates the existing session rather than creating a duplicate. Returns the `session_id` to use when routing per-tool calls. The first registered session becomes the default `active_session_id`. Pass `mark_active: true` to make the newly-registered session active in the same call.

NameTypeReqDescription
account_identitystringyesCaller-supplied identifier for the signed-in account (typically the saved-account email).
auth_expires_atstringOptional ISO timestamp at which the session expires.
mark_activebooleanWhen true, immediately make the newly-registered session the active one.

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

musescore_score_to_pdf ~486

Resolve or create a PDF for a MuseScore score. If the score exposes an official PDF download and is free (is_free) or accessible (hasAccess), downloads the official PDF bytes to output_path (written: true, bytes, outputPath). Otherwise (incl. paid scores, or when the official download fails) fetches the page-1 render SVG — the score’s public thumbnail — and stitches it into output_path. The score is identified by a url (a musescore.com score URL or /user/<id>/scores/<id> path) or a user_id + score_id pair. Requires a signed-in MuseScore session. In mode "official", a view-free but Premium/purchase-gated download returns a structured {status:"gated", requiresPurchase, downloadUrl, scoreUrl, svgStitchAvailable} result rather than erroring.

NameTypeReqDescription
dpinumberDeprecated/ignored — SVG-stitch conversion is now vector (no rasterisation).
modestringauto (default): the 3-tier fallback chain — official PDF (if entitled) → SVG-stitch PDF → PNG render → structured "gated". The result reports which tier won via `via` (official_pdf | svg_pdf | png_re…
output_pathstringyesLocal .pdf path to write. Parent directories are created.
pagesarray1-based page numbers for SVG-stitch mode. Only page 1 is available locally (pages 2+ are gated); requesting any other page errors. Ignored when an official PDF is downloaded. Defaults to page 1.
score_idstringNumeric score id (with user_id).
urlstringA musescore.com score URL or /user/<id>/scores/<id> path. Provide this OR user_id + score_id.
user_idstringNumeric uploader id (with score_id).

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

musescore_search ~289

Search musescore.com for sheet music. Returns score cards with id, title, uploader/arranger, original composer(s), instrumentation, page/part counts, duration, upload date, view/save counts, difficulty, and PRO/Official badges. Defaults to MuseScore's 'Free to view, play & download' facet (free_only=true); set free_only=false to search the whole catalog (most of which is paywalled for download). The free facet narrows results but does NOT guarantee a free account can download a given score — that is enforced at download time. Read-only.

NameTypeReqDescription
complexitystringDifficulty facet.
free_onlybooleanRestrict to the "Free to view, play & download" facet. Defaults to true.
instrumentstringInstrument facet: a supported instrument name (e.g. piano, guitar, violin, flute, trombone, baritone, tuba, organ, bassoon, saxophone alto, euphonium, cornet, accordion, soprano, alto, voice), or a M…
pageinteger1-based result page. Defaults to 1.
querystringyesFree-text search query.

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

musescore_set_active_session ~69

Switch which registered session subsequent tool calls route through by default. Pass a `session_id` previously returned by `musescore_register_session`. Tools that accept an explicit `session_id` parameter override this default per-call.

NameTypeReqDescription
session_idstringyesSession id to make active.

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

musescore_svg_to_pdf ~105

Convert local SVG or SVGZ files that already exist on disk into a PDF, one input file per page. Does not fetch files from MuseScore or any remote URL.

NameTypeReqDescription
dpinumberDeprecated/ignored — conversion is now vector (no rasterisation).
output_pathstringyesLocal .pdf path to write. Parent directories are created.
svg_pathsarrayyesLocal .svg or .svgz file paths, in page order.

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.
