We are still finessing some details, but all services should be back online and useable! We're so pleased to finally have centralised OAuth, which opens many doors. Please report issues on the forum thread (maybe give it an hour, clear your cache, etc): community.metabrainz.org/t/planned-oa... -a

#BookBrainzServerUpdate, v-2026-07-27.0 This version preps BookBrainz user accounts and authentication for the MetaBrainz-wide OAuth upgrade, later today. This project will centralize user accounts and improve security. Update: github.com/metabrainz/b... OAuth: blog.metabrainz.org/2026/06/25/u...

The OAuth migration has been prepared and scheduled for 27 July, 18:00 CET (today). Please expect downtime of ~1 hour across all MetaBrainz projects, if everything goes smoothly. For more details on the migration, please read: blog.metabrainz.org/2026/06/25/u...

#metabrainzmeetingnotes, 2026-06-22 Ever wondered what these notesare? Turns out MetaBrainz is so open that you can follow our weekly developer/staff and community contributor meetings, where we report what we've each been up to. At this very link! community.metabrainz.org/t/notes-from...

There have been reports of phishing messages via the MetaBrainz messaging service. Remember: Staff will never ask for your password. Staff will never ask you to log in to a third-party site (or ‘verify’ your username and password in any other way). Blog post: blog.metabrainz.org/2026/06/19/p...

We are back online after our big database upgrade, thank you for your patience! — M

Services depending on MusicBrainz are back up, but MusicBrainz itself is still not fully back.

We currently anticipate an additional one-hour delay for this downtime.

MusicBrainz will be down soon, with partial functionality downtime for other *Brainz sites, at 15 UTC. We expect to be back up by 16 UTC, with the #MusicBrainzSchemaChange completed. Full blog post: blog.metabrainz.org/2026/03/11

#metabrainzmeetingnotes, 2026-05-04 Skipping the next one due to the MB schema change on the 11th! Remember to check and prepare for any breaking changes for your installation/useage: blog.metabrainz.org/2026/03/11/s... community.metabrainz.org/t/notes-from...
