See the export function of MP3tag:
https://docs.mp3tag.de/export

Variable Description
%_md5% MD5-Hash of the file (slow!)
%_md5audio% MD5-Hash of the audio part of the file (slow and only supported for ID3- and/or APE-only tagged files)

Hi Ohrenkino.. I'm aware of %_md5audio% however I don't think mp3tag can use that piece of info to verify mp3 files. or do you know any tools I could use %_md5audio% generated md5 to check against the audio file?

MP3tag can do that.
The md5 checksum is part of an export script, you would have to re-import the data to a file or whereever you need it.
You can run the checksum generation again and compare the generated value with the stored value.
