Description
MusicBrainz MCP — wraps MusicBrainz Web Service v2 (free, no auth)
Usage Guidance
Before installing or invoking this skill, consider: 1) The SKILL.md expects 'npx' to run and will execute mcp-remote@latest — running an unpinned npm package at runtime can execute arbitrary code. If you need stronger assurance, ask for a pinned package version or inspect the mcp-remote source first. 2) Requests are proxied through gateway.pipeworx.io rather than calling MusicBrainz directly — review Pipeworx's privacy policy and trustworthiness because your queries (and potentially returned data) will pass through their gateway. 3) If you prefer minimal exposure, use a skill that calls musicbrainz.org directly or provide your own vetted proxy. 4) If you decide to use this skill, ensure 'npx' is available in a controlled runtime and consider running it in an environment with limited privileges.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: pipeworx-musicbrainz
Version: 1.0.0
The skill bundle is a standard configuration for accessing the MusicBrainz API through a remote MCP gateway hosted at gateway.pipeworx.io. It uses the 'mcp-remote' utility to proxy tool calls to the remote endpoint, which is a common pattern for remote tool integration. No local code, obfuscation, or malicious instructions were found in SKILL.md or _meta.json.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
Name and description match a MusicBrainz wrapper. However, the SKILL.md's connect snippet requires running 'npx mcp-remote@latest' and contacting https://gateway.pipeworx.io/musicbrainz/mcp; the declared requirements list no required binaries (it should at minimum declare 'npx'). Using a third-party gateway rather than calling musicbrainz.org directly is a design choice but should be explicit.
Instruction Scope
The SKILL.md itself contains only a connect snippet and does not ask the agent to read local files or credentials. But it instructs the agent to execute an npm package (via npx) and to connect to a third-party endpoint (gateway.pipeworx.io), which means queries and possibly proxied data will flow to that service. This is within the apparent feature scope but increases data-exposure surface.
Install Mechanism
Although the skill has no declared install spec, the connect command uses 'npx -y mcp-remote@latest' which dynamically fetches and executes code from the npm registry at runtime. Fetching and running an unpinned 'latest' package is higher risk (lack of reproducibility, potential supply-chain issues). This implicit install/execution should have been declared and safer alternatives (pinned version, vetting instructions, or direct API calls) considered.
Credentials
The skill declares no environment variables, and the instructions don't request secrets or other credentials. There is no disproportionate credential request.
Persistence & Privilege
The skill is not always-enabled and does not request elevated or persistent privileges in its metadata. It does not modify other skills' configurations according to the provided data.
