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

Tracking down lyrics shouldn't feel like detective work., Solved with Vinkius AI Gateway

Today, finding specific song data means jumping between charts websites, lyric databases, and Wikipedia pages. You copy a snippet into one place to find the artist, then paste that name into another site just to see if it was popular last year, and finally, you have to manually grab the lyrics from yet a fourth tab.

With Musixmatch Alternative, your agent does the heavy lifting. You give it an ambiguous prompt—'What song is this?'—and it runs `search_tracks` against millions of entries. It doesn't just guess; it returns structured data instantly. All you get back is the answer.

Using Musixmatch Alternative for Rich Sync Data

Before this server, getting synchronized subtitles meant downloading a messy file and manually checking timestamps against video footage. You were limited to basic lyric formats that didn't account for language changes or specific word timing.

Now, you call `get_track_subtitle` or `get_track_richsync`. The agent pulls the data directly into your workflow as structured LRC format. It’s accurate, clean, and ready to be used in a video pipeline.

What your AI can actually do with this

Musixmatch Alternative gives your AI agent deep access to massive global music data. You can search tracks by title, artist, or even a specific snippet of lyrics. It pulls full lyrics, time-coded subtitles, and current top charts for any country in the world. Need song metadata? Wanna translate the words? This server handles every piece of structured music info you'll need.

Finding What You Want: Searching & Discovery

You don't gotta know the ID to start digging. If you just remember a line or two, run search_tracks and it finds songs using title, artist name, or even a lyric phrase snippet. For maximum accuracy, if you have a song title, both match_lyrics and match_subtitle take that title and return the full lyrics data or synchronized subtitle data in one go.

Need to know everything about a single track? Use get_track with its ID for basic metadata, or run match_track if you only have the name. If you've got an artist's name, use search_artists to pull up their profile details.

Deep Dive into Discographies: Artists and Albums

Want to track down a whole body of work? Start with get_artist to pull all the metadata for an artist. That gives you the rundown on who they are, then you can run get_artist_albums to see every album they've ever dropped. Once you pick an album, use get_album_tracks and it sends back a complete list of every song contained within that specific record.

For any given track, get_track pulls basic metadata, but if you need the full word-by-word timing, run get_track_richsync. You can also find out what genres are used in the database by checking get_music_genres.

Lyrics and Subtitles: The Words and the Timing

If you gotta read lyrics, get_track_lyrics pulls the whole plain text for any song. But if timing matters—and it usually does—you'll wanna use get_track_subtitle, which gets synchronized subtitles in LRC format. If you only need a quick taste of what the song is about, get_track_snippet gives you an excerpt. For detailed synchronization analysis, get_track_subtitle provides that time-coded subtitle data.

Global Context and Trends: Charts and Language

Need to know what's hot right now? You can pull current top artists from major international charts by running get_chart_artists for a specific country. To see the most popular tracks, use get_chart_tracks. If you need to translate anything—it's easy. Use get_lyrics_translation if you grab full lyrics and need them in another language.

Similarly, if you pull synchronized subtitles, run get_subtitle_translation to get that time-coded content translated.

Advanced Utility: Publishing & Data Management

Beyond just reading the data, this server lets you manage it. If you're dealing with music rights or publishing details, you can use post_work to submit new data on a musical work. You'll also use post_work_validity to set an official end date for intellectual property records. It’s everything from basic track metadata to complex global trends and multilingual content.

Your agent handles it all.

Questions you might have

How do I search for lyrics using `search_tracks`? +

You pass the phrase directly into the agent's prompt. For example: 'Search tracks containing the words 'cold wind''. The server handles the database query and returns matching songs.

Can I translate subtitles using `get_subtitle_translation`? +

Yes, it translates synchronized lyrics (LRC format) from one language to another. This is useful for creating subtitled content for non-native speakers.

What's the difference between `get_track_lyrics` and `get_track_subtitle`? +

get_track_lyrics provides plain text lyrics—just the words. get_track_subtitle provides synchronized subtitles, which includes time codes (LRC format), crucial for video syncing.

How do I find out an artist's whole catalog? +

You run get_artist_albums with the artist name to get all their albums. Then, you use those album IDs in a subsequent call to get_album_tracks for every single record.

Does `match_track` just give basic info? +

match_track returns comprehensive metadata for a track ID. It's the best tool if you have an ID and need to verify all associated data points at once.

How does the `get_track_richsync` tool provide word-by-word timing? +

It provides highly granular, time-coded lyrics for every single word. This is essential when you need to sync text precisely with an audio player or build educational apps that highlight specific words as they are spoken.

What is the process when I use the `post_work` tool? +

You use this tool to submit or update official publishing data for a musical work. It handles metadata related to rights and publication status, which goes beyond simple lyric retrieval.

If my agent makes many calls using `get_track`, how should I handle rate limits? +

The system enforces standard API rate limits for high-volume access. You must implement an exponential backoff strategy in your client code to gracefully manage and retry requests that receive a 429 error.

Can I search for a song if I only remember a few words from the lyrics? +

Yes! You can use the search_tracks tool and provide the lyrics snippet in the q_lyrics parameter. The AI will return the most relevant song matches.

How do I get synchronized lyrics for a karaoke application? +

Use the get_track_subtitle tool. It provides time-coded lyrics in formats like LRC, which are perfect for displaying lyrics in sync with the music.

Is it possible to see which artists are currently trending in a specific country? +

Absolutely. Use the get_chart_artists tool and specify the country code (e.g., 'US', 'BR', 'FR') to get a list of the top-performing artists in that region.
