Announcing toolforest.io a personal project that links your chatbot to ListenBrainz (and more)

Today I’m releasing toolforest.io, a personal project that links ListenBrainz to AI assistants such as Claude and ChatGPT. It works with their free tiers and allows you to do things such as create a wrapped-style summary of your listening history or search for artists you like who may be performing in your area soon. You can learn about the project and try it out here: About - toolforest.io .
I hope you find toolforest.io both useful and enjoyable and welcome your suggestions and comments (positive or negative).

Cheers,
Gerrit

Cool to see more tools using ListenBrainz data!

Toolforest maintains a replicated MusicBrainz and ListenBrainz database

Our servers appreciate the consideration!
Generally, the more you can do without using the API, the better for us.

I do see that some features use the API such as fuzzy matching or metadata lookups.
For your information, those have been put behind key, so the LB user token is required to use them: Making sure you're not a bot!

Thanks for taking a look. I can assure you that I am neither a bot nor a meat-puppet controlled by one :slight_smile: I am using the public API for playlist management, recommendations, and also fetching recent (< 24h) listens since they are replicated on a daily cadence. Older listens are fetched from my replica.

I’m using a local Typesense DB + Postgres replica for metadata and fuzzy track lookup so this should eliminate the need to hit the public APIs for many operations.

That’s because of the “Making sure you’re not a bot!” above? :smiley: That’s unfortunately triggered by the anti bot measures on the blog, and it is directed towards the forum, not you. I think it is supposed to allow the MB forum, but that doesn’t seem to work. If all would work as it should show the blog post title.
