Details
From the project README
Soundza MCP server
Free sound effects, music and ambience for your AI assistant or your code. Ask for "a coin pickup and a jump sound for my platformer" and it finds them on Soundza, downloads the files and wires them in.
Thousands of sounds · 35 metadata fields per sound · free for commercial use
Connect
Claude (web, desktop, phone): Add to Claude, then sign in to Soundza. Or add a custom connector with:
https://mcp.soundza.com/mcp/oauth
ChatGPT: Plugins → add a custom MCP server with the same URL and keep OAuth. Some plans need Developer mode turned on.
Claude Code:
claude mcp add --transport http soundza https://mcp.soundza.com/mcp/oauth
Then run /mcp, choose soundza and sign in in the browser.
Codex, Cursor, VS Code and other agents: use https://mcp.soundza.com/mcp/oauth if the client supports sign-in. Otherwise use https://mcp.soundza.com/mcp with the header Authorization: Bearer <key>; get a free key at soundza.com/developers/keys.

New to MCP?
From what the protocol is to installing your first server, these answers cover most first questions.
An open protocol that defines how AI applications connect to external tools and data in a uniform way. Clients talk to the model; MCP servers provide tools, resources and prompt templates. They exchange standard messages, so one server can be reused by many clients.
