About AudD Music Recognition MCP Server
Equip your AI agent with the power of AudD, the leading music recognition and data platform. This integration allows your agent to identify songs from audio URLs, search for track information by title or artist, and retrieve full lyrics or snippets. Your agent can also find direct streaming links for identified tracks on platforms like Spotify and Apple Music. Whether you are identifying a background track from a video or searching for that one song with a specific lyric, your agent acts as a dedicated musicologist through natural conversation.
GitHub Copilot Agent mode brings AudD Music Recognition data directly into your VS Code workflow. With a project-scoped config, the entire team shares access to 8 tools. Copilot queries live data, generates typed code, and writes tests from actual API responses, all without leaving the editor.
What you can do
- Music Recognition — Identify songs from publicly accessible audio URLs with high precision.
- Lyrics Search — Find full lyrics or search for songs using fragments of text.
- Metadata Retrieval — Fetch detailed track, artist, and album information including release dates and labels.
- Streaming Links — Get direct URLs to listen to identified tracks on major music platforms.
- Timecode Identification — Start recognition from a specific offset to identify songs in long audio files.
The AudD Music Recognition MCP Server exposes 8 tools through the Vinkius. Connect it to VS Code Copilot in under two minutes — no API keys to rotate, no infrastructure to provision, no vendor lock-in. Your configuration, your data, your control.
