Find Any Lyric Without Leaving Your IDE

Stop switching contexts to a browser. Ask Windsurf to find lyrics for a track, and its Cascade agent gets to work. It chains `search_tracks` to find the right song and then `get_track_lyrics` to pull the full text. You see the result in seconds. Because Cascade handles the multi-step process, you don't have to guide it. Just state the goal, and get the data you need to keep building.

Build Playlists with Autonomous Actions

Tell Windsurf to 'get the top 5 albums from the top artist in Brazil.' Cascade plans the job. First, it hits `get_chart_artists` with the country code, then uses the top result to call `get_artist_albums`. What you get back is a clean list of album data. No manual API calls, no stitching data together yourself. This is how you explore the music catalog without writing a single line of discovery code.

Get Synchronized Subtitles with this MCP Server

This MCP Server gives Windsurf direct access to synchronized lyric data. Need to build a karaoke feature or a lyric video? Cascade can use `match_track` to find a song and then immediately pull timestamped lines with `get_track_subtitle`. It even handles word-by-word timing with `get_track_richsync`. You're not just getting a block of text; you're getting structured data ready for any media timeline, all fetched autonomously by your agent.
