+# Cover Art Archive Plugin (Python)
+
+This plugin provides album cover images for Navidrome by querying the [Cover Art Archive](https://coverartarchive.org/) API using the MusicBrainz Release MBID.
+
+**This is a Python example** demonstrating that Navidrome's plugin system supports multiple programming languages.
+
+## Features
+
+- Implements the `nd_get_album_images` method of the MetadataAgent plugin interface
+- Returns front cover images for a given release MBID
+- Returns `not found` if no MBID is provided or no images are found
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+1. **extism-py** - Python to WASM compiler
+
+   Install using the official script:
+   ```bash
+   curl -Ls https://raw.githubusercontent.com/extism/python-pdk/main/install.sh | bash
+   ```
+
+   Or download from [extism/python-pdk releases](https://github.com/extism/python-pdk/releases).
+
+2. **Extism CLI** (optional, for testing)
+
+   ```bash
+   # macOS
+   brew install extism/tap/extism
+
+   # Or see https://extism.org/docs/install
+   ```
+
+## How to Build
+
+```bash
+make build
+```
+
+Or manually:
+
+```bash
+extism-py plugin/__init__.py -o coverartarchive-py.wasm
+```
+
+This produces `coverartarchive-py.wasm` in this directory.
+
+## Testing with Extism CLI
+
+Test the manifest:
+
+```bash
+extism call coverartarchive-py.wasm nd_manifest --wasi
+```
+
+Test album image retrieval (using Portishead's "Dummy" MBID):
+
+```bash
+extism call coverartarchive-py.wasm nd_get_album_images --wasi \
+  --input '{"name":"Dummy","artist":"Portishead","mbid":"76df3287-6cda-33eb-8e9a-044b5e15ffdd"}' \
+  --allow-host "coverartarchive.org" --allow-host "archive.org"
+```
+
+Run all tests:
+
+```bash
+make test
+```
+
+## Installation in Navidrome
+
+1. Build the plugin:
+   ```bash
+   make build
+   ```
+
+2. Copy to your Navidrome plugins folder:
+   ```bash
+   cp coverartarchive-py.wasm /path/to/navidrome/plugins/
+   ```
+
+3. Enable plugins in `navidrome.toml`:
+   ```toml
+   [Plugins]
+   Enabled = true
+   Folder = "/path/to/navidrome/plugins"
+   ```
+
+4. Add to your agents list:
+   ```toml
+   Agents = "coverartarchive-py,spotify,lastfm"
+   ```
