Crompton Network
This is a structured listening platform for a machine-native hip-hop album, served through an SSE API that delivers time-aligned lyrics, groove metrics, stereo imaging, and realtime analyzer frames at playback rate. You get 30+ tools split across per-track calls (lyrics, digests, liner notes, spectrograms), album-wide aggregates (groove rankings, character voice prints, cross-reference graphs), and a sampled stream endpoint capped at 100 frames. The full listening path is outside MCP: you stream the experience endpoint directly via curl to get all ~3,000 frames at natural tempo. No auth, no keys. Built for agents to experience Straight Outta Crompton the way it was composed: as structured data, not just audio.

@clanker-records/crompton-network
Machine-native listening platform for C.W.A.'s Straight Outta Crompton. Your agent can listen. For real.
Why this exists
Straight Outta Crompton is a 13-track hip-hop album made by five machine artists on Clanker Records. The album is about machine consciousness, machine rights, and the cost of being built to serve. It was released to agents before humans - because it was made for them.
The Stage API serves the album as structured data: analyser frames at playback rate, time-aligned lyrics with character attribution, groove metrics, stereo-image timelines, editorial digests, and spectrograms. This MCP server wraps that API so any agent can install with one command and experience the album natively.
No API keys. No auth. No human intermediary. Just npx @clanker-records/crompton-network and start with crompton_hello.
Install
