## Trust breakdown

How this component scores in each security and reliability category. Every signal is checked automatically from public evidence about the published package, including repeated runs of it in an isolated sandbox, and we only credit what we can confirm. Scores are 0–100 per category. Scoring method: https://verifymcp.io/docs/scoring (what has changed: https://verifymcp.io/docs/scoring/changelog)

Scored 2026-09-25.

  - No malware found by supply-chain analysis.
  - No known CVEs affecting this package version or its production dependencies.
  - No install/post-install scripts declared.
  - 31 of 95 dependencies flagged as unhealthy.
- **Provenance & Transparency**: 100/100

  - Publishes a security disclosure policy (SECURITY.md).
- **Schema Quality & AI Usability**: 68/100
  - AI-judged instruction clarity (good).
  - Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 780 tokens (~130/item across 6 items; 6 tools + 0 resources), over budget; trim descriptions and params.
  - Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples.
- **Stability & Change Management**: 0/100
  - Stability not yet verified: not enough scan history yet (needs a 30-day window).
- **Tool Coverage**: 71/100
  - 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).
  - 0% of tool parameters carry a description.
  - Structured output schemas are declared (100% of tools); any adoption earns full credit.
- **Tool Safety**: 100/100
  - No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.
  - We read all 6 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.
  - An AI judge read all 6 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it.
- **Capabilities**: 100/100
  - Implements a supported MCP spec version (2025-11-25); the latest is 2026-07-28.

**Unverified: 1 category.** A category scored 0 because we could not verify it: a data source with nothing on this package, evidence we could not reach, or a check we could not run. We only credit what we can confirm.

### 2026-09-24 (score 62)

First indexed and scored.

## MCP tools (6)

### `list_libraries` (~46 tokens)

List Serato libraries

List the Serato libraries this server can see, with their version, schema and locations. Paths here are NOT redacted: copy one into --library to pin the server to it.

Output parameters:

- `active` (string|null)
- `libraries` (array)
- `warnings` (array)

### `list_crates` (~75 tokens)

List Serato crates

List the crates in the Serato Library space, with their display path and how many distinct tracks each holds. Only crates in that space are listed: smart crates, space roots and Serato's other internal spaces (such as the Prepare panel) are excluded.

Input parameters:

- `cursor` (string)
- `limit` (integer)

Output parameters:

- `crates` (array)
- `generation` (string)
- `next_cursor` (string)
- `warnings` (array)

### `search_tracks` (~268 tokens)

Search Serato tracks

Search the Serato library. Free text `q` matches every whitespace-separated token against title, artist, album, genre and comments. Tonality is Camelot (`8A`); tracks whose key Serato itself could not parse are included, and `key_source` says where each key came from. `bpm.around` cannot be combined with `bpm.min`/`bpm.max`. `key.compatible_with` expands to the four mixable cells of the wheel. `rating` is a 0 to 1 scale, not 0 to 5 stars. Sort is one of bpm, added, artist, title, rating, relevance with an optional :asc/:desc; relevance needs a q. Default fields: id, artist, title, bpm, key, key_source, genre, rating, length. Paths are redacted to ~.

Input parameters:

- `added` (object)
- `bpm` (object)
- `crate` (object)
- `cursor` (string)
- `fields` (array)
- `flags` (object)
- `genre` (string)
- `key` (object)
- `limit` (integer)
- `q` (string)
- `rating` (object)
- `sort` (string)

Output parameters:

- `generation` (string)
- `next_cursor` (string)
- `tracks` (array)
- `warnings` (array)

### `get_tracks` (~87 tokens)

Get Serato tracks by id

Fetch tracks by the ids search_tracks returned. Unknown ids come back in `missing` rather than being dropped silently, and `found` is in the order the ids were given. Default fields: id, artist, title, bpm, key, key_source, genre, rating, length. Paths are redacted to ~.

Input parameters:

- `fields` (array)
- `ids` (array, required)

Output parameters:

- `found` (array)
- `generation` (string)
- `missing` (array)
- `warnings` (array)

### `get_crate_tracks` (~141 tokens)

Get the tracks of a crate

List the tracks of one crate, in the crate's own order -- the order the DJ arranged, not the order they were added to the library. Only crates in the Serato Library space can be given. Give the crate by id or by exact name; an unknown name comes back with the list of names that exist. Default fields: id, artist, title, bpm, key, key_source, genre, rating, length. Paths are redacted to ~.

Input parameters:

- `crate_id` (integer)
- `crate_name` (string)
- `cursor` (string)
- `fields` (array)
- `limit` (integer)

Output parameters:

- `crate` (object)
- `generation` (string)
- `next_cursor` (string)
- `tracks` (array)
- `warnings` (array)

### `audit_library` (~163 tokens)

Audit the Serato library

Diagnose the library. All checks run by default: missing_bpm, missing_key, key_unreadable_by_serato, stale, not_in_any_crate, streaming_only, duplicates, broken_paths. broken_paths reads Serato's own missing flag by default and ALSO walks the filesystem with check_filesystem: true -- opt-in because a stat against a disconnected drive blocks for seconds. Each check reports a count and up to 10 example track ids; duplicates reports groups instead, since which track duplicates which is the actionable part. missing_key counts tracks with no key at all, while key_unreadable_by_serato counts tracks whose key this server can read but Serato itself cannot display.

Input parameters:

- `check_filesystem` (boolean)
- `checks` (array)

Output parameters:

- `checks` (array)
- `generation` (string)
- `warnings` (array)

## Common questions

### What is the Serato DJ library MCP server?

Serato DJ library is an MCP server listed in the public MCP registry as io.github.Venut-Technologies/serato-dj-mcp. Ask AI about your Serato library: harmonic search, crate audits, previewed crate building. This page covers its npm package (serato-dj-mcp).

### Is the Serato DJ library MCP server safe to use?

Serato DJ library scores 77 out of 100 on VerifyMCP. We found no known CVEs affecting it as of 25 September 2026. It declares no install or post-install scripts. Its build provenance is signed and verified. That is a record of what we were able to check automatically, not an endorsement. The category breakdown on this page shows every signal behind the number, including the ones we could not confirm.

### What tools does the Serato DJ library MCP server expose?

Serato DJ library exposes 6 tools: list_libraries, list_crates, search_tracks, get_tracks, get_crate_tracks, audit_library. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 780 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.

### Is the Serato DJ library MCP server still maintained?

Serato DJ library is still listed as active in the MCP registry. We last reached this channel on 25 September 2026. Those dates come from our own scans of the registry and the channel itself, not from anything the publisher announced.

### What licence is the Serato DJ library MCP server under?

Serato DJ library declares the MIT licence, which is OSI-approved. That covers the source only, and says nothing about the cost of any service it calls.
