## 📦 Installation
### Using uv (Recommended)
```bash
uvx aimusic-mcp
```
### Using pip
```bash
pip install aimusic-mcp
```
## 🔌 API Integration
This MCP server integrates with MusicMCP.AI's RESTful API:
- **`POST /music/generate/inspiration`**: Create music generation task (inspiration mode)
- **`POST /music/generate/custom`**: Create custom music generation task
- **`POST /music/generate/query`**: Query music status (batch query supported)
- **`GET /credit`**: Check credit balance
- **`GET /health`**: Check API service health
### 🔄 Async API Workflow
Music generation is **asynchronous**. The MCP server handles this automatically:
**Step 1: Submit Generation Request**
```bash
POST /music/generate/inspiration or /music/generate/custom
→ Returns: {"code": 200, "data": {"ids": ["id1", "id2"]}}
```
**Step 2: Automatic Polling (handled internally by MCP)**
```bash
POST /music/generate/query with {"ids": ["id1", "id2"]}
→ Polls every 2 seconds until status = 1 (completed)
→ Song status: 0 = Failed, 1 = Completed, 2 = In Progress
```
**Step 3: Return Complete Song Information**
```
Once all songs are completed, returns full details:
- songName, songUrl, imgUrl, duration, tags, etc.
```
**Behind the Scenes:**
1. User calls `generate_prompt_song()` or `generate_custom_song()`
2. MCP sends generation request → receives 2 song IDs
3. MCP automatically polls `/music/generate/query` every 2 seconds
4. When all songs complete (status=1), returns download URLs
5. Default timeout: 10 minutes (configurable via `TIME_OUT_SECONDS`)
**Important Notes:**
- ⏱️ Generation typically takes 2-5 minutes per song
- 🔁 The MCP server handles all polling automatically
- 🎵 Each generation always creates 2 song variations
- 💰 Credits (5) are deducted when generation request succeeds
- ⚠️ If generation fails, credits are NOT consumed
## 🐛 Troubleshooting
### Common Issues
1. **API Key Error**: Ensure `MUSICMCP_API_KEY` is set correctly
- Use the `check_credit_balance` tool to check your key
2. **Insufficient Credits (402 Error)**: You don't have enough credits
- Check your balance at https://www.musicmcp.ai
- Recharge your account
3. **Timeout Errors**: Increase `TIME_OUT_SECONDS` if music generation takes longer
