Tunetank MCP

Tunetank MCP Server

The Tunetank music & sound‑effects catalog as an MCP server — so any AI assistant (Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, …) can find the right royalty‑free track or SFX for a video, ad, podcast or stream.

Ask things like “find an energetic rock track around 60 seconds for a YouTube intro” or “a whoosh SFX under 2 seconds” and the assistant searches Tunetank's real catalog and hands back a preview link plus the track page on tunetank.com.

• 🎵 Search music by mood, genre, theme, artist, name and target length (± tolerance)
• 🔊 Search sound effects (SFX) by category and length
• 📚 Browse genres, moods, themes and curated playlists
• ▶️ Every result includes an audio preview URL and the canonical track page (https://tunetank.com/track/<id>-<slug>/)
• 🆓 Completely free — no API key, no auth, no rate‑limit sign‑up. Read‑only.

Setup

Point any MCP‑capable client at the endpoint above. Examples for common clients:

Claude Desktop / Claude.ai (Connectors)

Add a Custom Connector with the URL:

https://mcp.tunetank.com

Or, via the config file (claude_desktop_config.json) using the mcp-remote bridge:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "tunetank": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "mcp-remote", "https://mcp.tunetank.com"]
    }
  }
}

Cursor

~/.cursor/mcp.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "tunetank": {
      "url": "https://mcp.tunetank.com"
    }
  }
}

VS Code / other clients

Any client that supports remote (HTTP) MCP servers — just use the URL https://mcp.tunetank.com. For clients that only speak stdio, bridge with npx -y mcp-remote https://mcp.tunetank.com.

• tolerance — allowed ± seconds around duration (default 5). Example: duration: 60, tolerance: 10 → tracks between 50s and 70s.
