There's an issue on musicbrainz-userscripts (https://github.com/murdos/musicbrainz-userscripts/issues/81) where they mention vgmdb.info. It apparently exposes VGMDB info as a consumable API. Someone still has to write a plugin for it, but it's there!
(That being said, I use both MB and VGMDB on a regular basis and vastly prefer MB because a) almost all albums I can find on VGMDB are also on MB, b) I try to add those that aren't, and c) I usually find Musicbrainz entries to be of a much greater quality : VGMDB stores per-track information (aside from the title, track number and time) in the "notes" section, which makes it far less useable as a data source for compilation albums.)
