🔌 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 taskPOST /music/generate/query: Query music status (batch query supported)GET /credit: Check credit balanceGET /health: Check API service health
🔄 Async API Workflow
Music generation is asynchronous. The MCP server handles this automatically:
Step 1: Submit Generation Request
POST /music/generate/inspiration or /music/generate/custom
→ Returns: {"code": 200, "data": {"ids": ["id1", "id2"]}}
Step 2: Automatic Polling (handled internally by MCP)
POST /music/generate/query with {"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
Once all songs are completed, returns full details:
- songName, songUrl, imgUrl, duration, tags, etc.
Behind the Scenes:
- User calls
generate_prompt_song()orgenerate_custom_song() - MCP sends generation request → receives 2 song IDs
- MCP automatically polls
/music/generate/queryevery 2 seconds - When all songs complete (status=1), returns download URLs
- Default timeout: 10 minutes (configurable via
TIME_OUT_SECONDS)
Important Notes:
- ⏱️ Generation typically takes 2-5 minutes per song
- 🔁 The MCP server handles all polling automatically
- 🎵 Each generation always creates 2 song variations
- 💰 Credits (5) are deducted when generation request succeeds
- ⚠️ If generation fails, credits are NOT consumed
