How do I use this MCP with my AI client?

You connect to the Vinkius hosted MCP once, and it becomes available in any compatible client like Claude or Cursor.

Can I calculate different time signatures?

Yes, the capability uses the time signature you provide to calculate bar and beat metrics.

What kind of output does the timeline capability provide?

It generates a structural breakdown with timestamps for each section of your song.

Do I need to host the MCP myself?

No, Vinkius hosts and manages the MCP for you.

Can this help with DAW workflows?

Yes, the calculated timestamps and timelines are designed for use in recording, arrangement, and mastering.

How do I calculate the duration of a single beat?

Use the get_bar_ rhythm_metrics capability. By inputting your current BPM and the number of beats per bar, it will return the exact duration in seconds for both a single beat and a full bar.

Can I generate a timeline for an entire song?

Yes, the generate_song_timeline capability allows you to input your BPM, meter, and a list of sections (like Intro, Verse, Chorus) with their respective bar counts to produce a complete timestamped breakdown.

How is the section duration calculated?

The calculate_section_duration capability takes the number of bars in a section and the duration of one bar (obtained from rhythm metrics) to calculate the total time in seconds, minutes, and a formatted MM:SS string.

Works with modern AI clients that support MCP, including ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor, and more.

Your AI does the work. We keep it safe and sound.

No other AI tool gives you this. Your workflow runs in the client you already love, your account stays protected, and you decide what the agent can and cannot do. It is the whole reason to make the switch.

Each Connector lives inside our infrastructure, the same place where your workflow runs. The three things below are already part of it, working quietly in the background so you never have to think about them. Nothing to add, nothing to set up, nothing to worry about.

V8 Isolate01

Each Connector runs inside its own sealed environment.

Each Connector runs inside its own sealed V8 runtime — no access to your files, your system, or other servers. A Connector never sees past its own request.

Kill Switch02

One switch stops every agent. Instantly.

One action deactivates every Connector, revokes every token, and ends every session at once. AI Governance keeps the record.

FinOps per User03

Spending limits that pause instead of surprise.

Every user keeps their own connections and credentials, isolated from everyone else. Anything that would cross your spending limit is held for your approval, not billed.

Three controls, built into the layer your AI connects through.

Curated set · 3 capabilities

01
Generate song timeline
This capability builds a full structural breakdown of your song. It produces a complete timeline based on your defined sections.
02
Get bar rhythm metrics
This capability calculates the exact number of seconds per beat and per bar. It uses your provided BPM and time signature to get these values.
03
Calculate section duration
This capability finds the length of a specific song section. You provide the number of bars, and it returns the total time.

Automate a task

Put Song Structure Timer to work on one thing.

Step-by-step automations your AI runs through this Connector: the workflow, the prompts to start with, and the exact capabilities behind each move.

One connector, every AI

Song Structure Timer works with the most popular AI clients.

These are the most popular clients, each with a step-by-step guide: one link, set up once, with governance and visibility built in. And because everything runs on the MCP standard, the same connection also works in any other compatible client — nothing to rebuild.

Building your own app? The connector is yours to use.

You don't need a client to put Song Structure Timer to work: the same hosted connection plugs into your own applications and agent code, with the same governance on every request. Build with it, chat with it — one connection for both.
