# How to Explore an Artist's Discography with Copilot

Map every release from an artist, review edition details, and check collector values across their full catalog. Use `artist_discography`, `release_details`, and `price_guide` to build the complete picture. Copilot works best when you want the discography as structured data you can import into a spreadsheet, database, or collection tracker.

## Setup

{"mcpServers":{"toolrouter":{"command":"npx","args":["-y","toolrouter-mcp"]}}}

## Steps

1. Connect ToolRouter in Copilot: {"mcpServers":{"toolrouter":{"command":"npx","args":["-y","toolrouter-mcp"]}}}
2. Name the artist and set your scope: format, country, year range, and compilation inclusion.
3. Run `artist_discography`, `release_details`, and `price_guide` through `record-collector` for the catalog and the releases that need deeper data.
4. Ask Copilot to output the discography as structured JSON or CSV with consistent fields across every release.
5. Import the data into your collection management tool or spreadsheet for ongoing tracking.

## Example Prompt

```
Use record-collector to explore Alice Coltrane's discography. Run artist_discography, then release_details and price_guide on the original Impulse! pressings. Return structured JSON with title, year, label, catalog number, format, and value range for each release.
```

## Tips

- Define the output schema before running so every release in the discography has the same fields.
- Ask Copilot to flag releases where the price guide data is missing or uncertain so you can follow up manually.
