Details
From the project READMEnolicense-nearby-mcp
MCP server for No License Nearby, an artist-owned sync licensing catalog of 880+ tracks. The artist owns 100% of every master and every publishing share, so one license clears the music.
Let Claude, Cursor or any video and editing agent search the catalog, audition tracks, see live license prices and build a quote, then hand the buyer the pre-filled license page.
Live catalog: https://license.nomusicnearby.com
No API key needed
All tools are read-only and use the public catalog. This MCP never submits license requests and never takes payment: buying happens on the No License Nearby website, where you submit a license request and usage rights activate after payment.

| Tool | What it does | Example prompt |
|---|---|---|
search_tracks | Search by title, genre, mood, energy and musical key (filters combine) | "Find chill electronic tracks under 3 minutes for my vlog." |
get_track | Details for one track | "Tell me about track 660." |

get_license_checkout_link | The license page pre-filled with the track, plus the steps to finish | "I want to license Dat Piano for my film." |
Prices are always read live from the catalog, never hardcoded. Tempo search is not available yet because tempo data is still being added to the catalog.

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.
