You can use getpendinguploads to check the status. It returns the current state of any assets you have recently submitted.

Perplexity

Direct audio search in Windsurf

Cascade uses `search_sounds` to query the database using your specific tags or Solr-style filters. It identifies the right clips for your project immediately. Once the results appear, the agent parses the metadata and presents the best matches. You don't have to manually browse the web interface anymore.

Instant file acquisition

After finding the perfect effect, `download_sound` pulls the high-quality file straight into your project folder. It handles the stream so you can keep working. Windsurf sees the file immediately after the transfer finishes. You spend less time moving assets and more time editing.

Deep metadata inspection

Use `get_sound` to verify sample rates, bit depths, and license info before you commit to a file. This MCP Server ensures you know exactly what you are importing. It prevents compatibility issues by letting the agent check technical specs first. No more surprises when you drop a file into your timeline.
