@yellowkode/suno-mcp

MCP Server for Suno AI — Generate music directly from Claude, VSCode, Cursor, and any MCP-compatible client.

What is this?

@yellowkode/suno-mcp is an open-source Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that connects Claude and other AI assistants directly to the Suno AI music generation API.

Instead of manually calling the API, you can just tell Claude:

"Generate a dark ambient viking instrumental, slow drums, cinematic, no vocals"

...and Claude handles the full generation flow automatically.

---

Prerequisites

• Node.js 18+
• A Suno API key — two options:

Option	Key format	Where to get
SunoBoard (recommended)	sb_...	sunoboard.com — generations saved to your dashboard
sunoapi.org (BYOK)	abc123...	sunoapi.org → Dashboard → API Keys

The server auto-detects which API to use based on the key prefix. No extra config needed.

---

Quick start

# One-shot (no install needed)
SUNO_API_KEY=your_key npx @yellowkode/suno-mcp

# Or install globally
npm install -g @yellowkode/suno-mcp

Claude Desktop

Edit claude_desktop_config.json:

macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "suno": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["@yellowkode/suno-mcp"],
      "env": {

Claude Code (terminal)

claude mcp add suno \
  -e SUNO_API_KEY=your_key_here \
  -- npx @yellowkode/suno-mcp

Cursor / Cline (VSCode)

Add to .cursor/mcp.json or .vscode/mcp.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "suno": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["@yellowkode/suno-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "SUNO_API_KEY": "your_key_here"

Available Tools

Tool	Description
generate_music	Start music generation — returns a taskId
get_music_status	Check generation status by taskId
wait_for_music	Auto-poll until ready, returns audio URL (up to 5 min)
list_recent_music	List recently generated tracks
get_credits	Check remaining API credits

With a SunoBoard key (sb_...) you also get:

Tool	Description
generate_sfx	Generate a sound effect from text (footsteps, coins, doors, UI clicks, whooshes…), 0.5–10 s, ready in ~2 s. Pass public: true to also share it on SunoBoard Discover
list_models	Music and SFX models (Suno, Google Lyria, MiniMax, Stable Audio, ElevenLabs, TangoFlux) with what each costs
get_usage	Credits and sound effects left this month, reset date, your default models
search_library	Search the public SunoBoard library of ready-made tracks (free)
get_referral_link	Your referral link (bonus credits for you and a friend)

With a SunoBoard key, generate_music also accepts model = lyria-3-pro, minimax-2.6, stable-audio-2.5 or elevenlabs-music (plus duration_seconds where supported). Get your key at sunoboard.com/settings — or skip the install and add the hosted connector https://mcp.sunoboard.com/mcp (guide).

Usage Examples

Basic

"Generate a relaxing lo-fi hip hop track for studying"

Claude calls generate_music → wait_for_music and returns the audio URL.

Game development

"Generate dramatic battle music for an RPG boss fight, orchestral, no lyrics, intense"

Sound effects for your game (SunoBoard key)

"Here's my list of 20 sounds (footsteps on grass, coin pickup, door creak…). Generate each one with generate_sfx and save them to assets/audio/sfx"

Custom lyrics

"Generate a song with these lyrics: [paste lyrics], style: indie pop, female vocals"

With full control

"Generate music: prompt='cosmic meditation', style='deep space ambient, synth pads', model=V5, instrumental, weirdness=0.7"
