AINSOF MCP Server

Original, human-made production music inside your AI assistant.
Search it by brief or by reference link, hear full previews, score it to your video,
analyze your edit, pull versions, stems and cue sheets, and clear it without leaving the tool you already work in.

AINSOF is a music superpowers creative company: a curated, growing production-music catalog built for sync, with purpose-made tools for connecting music to picture. Every cue is written, performed and produced by human composers; nothing in the catalog is AI-generated. New original music lands every week.

This server puts the whole catalog behind 14 MCP tools, so an AI assistant can find the right cue for a scene, play it, fetch stems and cut-downs, and even return a finished, professionally scored edit of your video.

Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector → paste https://mcp.ainsof.io.

Claude Code

Or install it as a plugin, which brings the connection and a working setup along with it:

/plugin marketplace add AINSOF-Tech/mcp
/plugin install ainsof

What's in the plugin

The connector on its own gives an assistant fourteen tools. The plugin adds the judgment around them: when to reach for music, which version fits a 22-second cut, and what to hand over when legal asks for paper.

Skills	soundtrack	Teaches the assistant to offer music on its own the moment a video is edited, rendered or exported. It measures the cut, asks for the version that fits that exact length rather than a full track, shows three options instead of ten, and never implies a license that isn't there.
	setup	Connect and verify the server, raise the rate limit with a free key, and recognize the three replies that look like errors and aren't.
Sub-agent	music-supervisor	Turns a brief into a defensible shortlist: several spots at once, each measured, searched from more than one angle, auditioned, ranked, with the trade-off named and the cue sheet attached.
Commands	/score-video	Measure a cut, find the music, and take it through to a finished score synced to picture.
	/find-music	Search the catalog by brief, mood, scene, composer or catalog number.
	/match-reference	Paste a Spotify / YouTube / Apple Music / Deezer link and get the closest AINSOF cues, matched by sound.
	/cue-sheet	Pull writers, splits, ISRC and publisher for a cue you used.

So a video exported in your session gets a real shortlist without anyone having to remember to ask for one.

What it can do

Tool	What it does
search_music	Find cues by a written brief, a mood, or an exact track / album / catalog number
search_by_reference	Paste a Spotify / YouTube / Apple Music / Deezer link, or name a record, and get the closest AINSOF cues by sound. SoundCloud and TikTok links are not supported; give the artist and title instead
find_similar	Find AINSOF cues that sound like an AINSOF cue, either the whole cue or a passage of it (5 to 60 seconds, such as the hook)
find_soundtrack	Describe your video (length, pace, narration) and get cues that fit it
score_my_video	Upload a video and get back a professionally scored edit, synced to picture
analyze_video	Structural analysis of a video: cuts, pacing, sections
fit_to_length	Cut a chosen cue to a length from 1 to 300 seconds the way an editor would: whole bars and the real ending, never stretched. Also exact video lengths, seamless loops and matching stems
get_track	Full detail for one cue: versions, stems, metadata
listen_link	A link to hear the complete preview of any cue
get_upload_link / deliver_score	Move video in, get the scored result out
cue_sheet	Cue-sheet data for anything you used
about_ainsof	Licensing, catalog and privacy details
feedback	Tell us when a result was right or wrong (with your consent)

Previews are always the complete piece in clean MP3 192k, so you can cut with them before anything is licensed. Listening is free without sign-in. Downloading a version needs Google or email sign-in and an AINSOF account with download access, and a download is not a publication license.

In practice

A video editor, mid-edit. You're cutting a 45-second alpine ski clip in silence. You tell your assistant: "fast cuts, no narration, score it." It calls find_soundtrack with the length and pace, streams you three full previews, and the one you keep comes back through score_my_video already synced to your cut.

A creative team pitching with a reference. The client says "something like Hans Zimmer's Time." Paste the link. search_by_reference listens to the actual record and answers with the closest cues in the AINSOF catalog, playable immediately and licensable the same day.

An agency producer clearing a spot. The edit is locked and legal wants paper. get_track returns every version and stem of the cue you used, cue_sheet returns the cue-sheet data, and licensing is one email: every cue in the catalog is pre-cleared, one owner, no chain-of-title archaeology.

A developer building a creative tool. Your users edit video in your product. Point your agent at https://mcp.ainsof.io and music discovery (search, reference matching, previews, scoring to picture) becomes a feature of your app, with no key required to start.

Licensing & privacy

The catalog itself is commercial: every cue is signed, owned and cleared, and licensing runs through ainsof.io. This repository contains the public server manifest and connection docs only, released under the MIT license (LICENSE); what that license does and does not cover is spelled out in NOTICE.

What the plugin sends, and where

The plugin contains no scripts or hooks. Its one network destination is the AINSOF server at https://mcp.ainsof.io, reached only through the tool calls your assistant makes. Those calls carry:

• Searches and briefs: the words of the brief, any reference link you paste, and the cue titles or track IDs you ask about.
• Videos: only a video you choose to analyze or score. A hosted file is passed by its link; a file on your computer is uploaded through the page that get_upload_link returns.
• Feedback: sent through feedback only after you agree, quoted in your own words.

Privacy: the server receives only the tool calls sent to it, never the rest of your conversation. To understand a brief, AINSOF sends its words to AI services from Google and TypeSafe, without your name, email, IP address or any video. AINSOF records usage metrics (the tool used, the search sent, the cues returned, links requested or opened, time, country, client app and a one-way pseudonymous caller hash) and does not store your raw IP address in them. An uploaded video is deleted once its scored files are stored, and rendered videos and delivery packages are deleted after seven days. Storyboards, transcripts and a reduced review copy made by analyze_video are kept for 30 days. To have your data deleted sooner, write to [email protected]. Full policy: ainsof.io/privacy.html.
