Free Music for ChatGPT, Claude & Any AI Assistant

SnipSound's MCP server puts 650+ royalty-free tracks inside your AI assistant — ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor, or anything that speaks the Model Context Protocol. Search by mood, genre or use-case, preview the best moments right in the chat, then download the track free on snipsound.com. No account. No API key. No subscription.

Endpoint https://mcp.snipsound.com/mcp

Actually free to use. Every track this server returns is royalty-free or public-domain and licensed for your videos, streams and podcasts — you download the file itself, free, with no signup. That's the difference between "an app that recommends music" and one that hands you music you can use.

What it does

Search 650+ licensed tracks by feel ("happy upbeat for a cooking video"), genre ("lo-fi", "boom bap", "cinematic"), use-case, length or energy.
Preview in the conversation — in ChatGPT, results render as track cards with 30-second previews that start at each track's best moments, so you can section-hop before ever leaving the chat.
Hear it with effects — flip previews between Slowed + Reverb, Nightcore, Vaporwave, Bass Boost, 8D and more, live while it plays. Like a preset? The "Add to video" link opens our editor with that effect already applied.
Download free / edit on SnipSound — every result links to the track's page for the free download, and to our in-browser video editor with the track pre-loaded.

Tools reference

`search_music`

Search the free-music library. All parameters optional; returns up to 4 tracks with title, artist, genre, moods, duration, license, preview snips and deep links.

query — free text: mood, genre, instrument or use-case ("upbeat acoustic for a travel vlog")
mood / genre — filters, typo-tolerant ("lofi" finds Lo-Fi Hip Hop)
max_duration_s — only tracks at most this long
min_energy — 0–1 energy floor (0.8+ = high-energy)

More tools (browse by facet, per-track lookup, license Q&A) are on the roadmap.

Privacy & safety

The server is read-only and stateless: it receives your search terms from your assistant, returns public catalog metadata and links, and stores nothing about you. It holds no credentials and takes no actions. Details in our privacy policy.

FAQ

Is the music really free?

Yes. The catalog this server exposes is royalty-free or public-domain, free to download from snipsound.com without an account, and licensed for use in videos, streams and podcasts. Each track's page states its exact license.

Why is there no login?

Because there's nothing to protect — the server only serves our own public catalog. That also makes it the lowest-friction music connector to install: paste one URL and you're done.

Can I use this in my own app or agent?

Yes — it's a standard MCP server. Point any MCP-capable client at the endpoint. If you build something with it, link back to the track pages so your users can get the downloads.
