What the publisher says
From the Sonilo Music & Sound Effects repository's README, as published. We do not edit it. Read it on GitHub
Sonilo MCP Server
<!-- mcp-name: io.github.sonilo-ai/sonilo-mcp -->
An MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that exposes Sonilo's licensed music and sound-effects API to MCP-compatible clients (Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex).
The flagship tool is videotomusic: hand it your finished video and it composes an original soundtrack matched to the cut — the music follows the pacing, emotion, and edits because the model saw them. Length matches the video automatically. Every track is licensed and safe for commercial use (terms apply). texttomusic is also available for fixed-length tracks with no video to match.
For sound design, videotosfx watches your video and generates matching sound effects, returned as a standalone audio file. texttosfx generates a standalone effect from a description.
▶ Example result — an AI-generated trailer with its soundtrack composed by videotomusic from the assembled cut. For recipes covering any AI-video pipeline (stitch → grade → add music → mux), see the Sonilo video-to-music cookbook.
Quickstart with Claude Code
Sign in once with the CLI, then add the server with no secret in the config:
npm install -g sonilo-cli && sonilo login
claude mcp add sonilo -- uvx sonilo-mcpOr hold an API key yourself — get one from the Sonilo dashboard:
claude mcp add sonilo --env SONILO_API_KEY=sk-... -- uvx sonilo-mcpThen start a session and ask, e.g. "Make background music that matches this video: ~/Desktop/promo.mp4."
