Using pip

🔌 API Integration

This MCP server integrates with MusicMCP.AI's RESTful API:

• POST /music/generate/inspiration: Create music generation task (inspiration mode)
• POST /music/generate/custom: Create custom music generation task
• POST /music/generate/query: Query music status (batch query supported)
• GET /credit: Check credit balance
• GET /health: Check API service health

---

🔄 Async API Workflow

Music generation is asynchronous. The MCP server handles this automatically:

Step 1: Submit Generation Request

Call:

• POST /music/generate/inspiration
• or POST /music/generate/custom

Response example:

{
  "code": 200,
  "data": {
    "ids": ["id1", "id2"]
  }
}

Step 2: Automatic Polling (handled internally by MCP)

MCP calls:

POST /music/generate/query
Body: { "ids": ["id1", "id2"] }

• Polls every 2 seconds until status = 1 (completed)
• Song status:
  • 0 = Failed
  • 1 = Completed
  • 2 = In Progress

Step 3: Return Complete Song Information

When all songs complete, the MCP server returns full details:

• songName, songUrl, imgUrl, duration, tags, etc.

Behind the scenes:

1. User calls generate_prompt_song() or generate_custom_song()
2. MCP sends generation request → receives 2 song IDs
3. MCP automatically polls /music/generate/query every 2 seconds
4. When all songs complete (status = 1), MCP returns download URLs and metadata

Defaults & behavior:

• ⏱️ Generation typically takes 2–5 minutes per song
• 🔁 MCP handles polling automatically
• 🎵 Each generation always creates 2 song variations
• 💰 Credits (5) are deducted when generation request succeeds
• ⚠️ If generation fails, credits are NOT consumed

🐛 Troubleshooting

Common Issues

2. Insufficient Credits (402 Error)

You don't have enough credits.

• Check your balance at https://www.musicmcp.ai
