Built on the Model Context Protocol (MCP) for Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and more

The Model Context Protocol standardizes how applications expose capabilities to LLMs. Instead of operating in isolation, your AI gains direct access to external platforms, live data, and real-world actions through secure, standardized connections.

This connection provides 10 powerful capabilities that interface natively with Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and other compatible AI platforms. No middleware. No custom integration required.

The Pain: Sifting Through Endless Sound Websites

Today, finding assets is a chore. You open five different sound sites. On one tab you search by tag; on another, you filter by license type. Then you download a ZIP file that contains nothing but random WAVs, forcing you to manually check the metadata of each file before you can even tell if it's the right length or quality.

With this MCP, your agent handles all the tabs. You describe what you need—say, 'A soft, repeating forest sound for a 15-second loop.' The AI does the filtering and returns only the perfect candidates, ready to be downloaded via `download_sound`.

Freesound MCP: Instant Asset Discovery

The biggest manual step that disappears is the constant context switching. You never have to copy a search query from one site and paste it into another, nor do you spend time opening individual sound pages just to check the license or tags.

This MCP brings all of Freesound's data—from initial searching with `search_sounds` to managing your own files via `upload_sound`—into a single conversation flow. It makes asset discovery as simple as talking to a teammate.

What your AI can actually do with this

Need a specific sound effect but hate leaving your creative environment? This MCP lets you search the world's largest database of audio samples directly through your agent. Instead of opening multiple tabs and sifting through file names, you just describe what you need. The AI handles the complex filtering, letting you narrow down searches based on tags, duration, or license type instantly.

You can check if a sound pack is available using get_pack, verify details about any single sound with get_sound, and even upload your own recordings for later management via upload_sound and describe_sound. This puts professional-grade audio discovery right where you work. Connecting this tool through the Vinkius catalog means your AI client accesses all of Freesound's capabilities in one place, letting you manage assets without ever switching context.

Questions you might have

How do I search for sounds using the search_sounds tool? +

You describe your needs naturally, but remember that search_sounds supports Solr-style filters. You can specify minimum duration, required tags, or license types right in your prompt.

Does get_sound give me enough information to use the asset commercially? +

It provides detailed metadata and usage information, but always verify the specific Creative Commons license attached to that sound before using it commercially. Check get_sound results carefully.

What is the difference between upload_sound and describe_sound? +

upload_sound gets the file into the database. You then run describe_sound to add context, tags, and detailed notes about that specific recording.

Can I see what sounds a user uploaded with get_user_sounds? +

Yes. get_user_sounds lists all the assets associated with a given contributor's profile ID. This lets you quickly gauge their style and expertise.

What information does the `get_me` tool provide after I authenticate my account? +

It retrieves key details about your authenticated Freesound user profile. You get basic identifying data, confirming that your AI client has connected correctly to your personal account settings.

How do I check the status of sounds in moderation using `get_pending_uploads`? +

This tool checks the backend queue for any uploads awaiting review. It shows you which files are pending approval and helps manage your submission workflow until they go live.

Can I get detailed metadata about a sound collection using `get_pack`? +

Yes, get_pack fetches comprehensive information about an entire organized group of sounds. You can analyze the pack's contents and overall structure without having to query every individual asset.

What does running the `download_sound` tool actually do? +

The tool triggers a direct download of the original, high-quality sound file. It handles the transfer process, making sure you get the full, uncompressed audio asset immediately.

How do I find specific sounds like 'ambient rain' with a short duration? +

Use the search_sounds tool with query: 'ambient rain' and filter: 'duration:[1 TO 10]'. This uses Solr syntax to narrow down results precisely.

Can I download the original high-quality file directly? +

Yes! Use the download_sound action with the specific Sound ID. Note that this requires a valid FREESOUND_OAUTH_TOKEN to authorize the download.

How can I check if my uploaded sounds are already public? +

You can use get_pending_uploads to see sounds currently in the moderation queue, or get_me to see your profile status and total uploads.
