> "Write a warm birthday song for my mum turning 60 — she loves singing in the kitchen."
>
> → 《Kitchen Radio》, 2 × 2:30 MP3, lyrics, cover. One tool call, one credit.
## Quick start
**Claude Desktop** — add to `claude_desktop_config.json`:
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"taoyuan": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "taoyuan-mcp"],
"env": { "TAOYUAN_API_KEY": "ty_live_…" }
}
}
}
```
**Claude Code / Cursor / anything that speaks remote MCP** — no install:
```bash
claude mcp add --transport http taoyuan https://api.musicsforyou.com/mcp \
--header "Authorization: Bearer ty_live_…"
```
**Cursor (one click)** — [Add to Cursor](https://www.musicsforyou.com/developers?lang=en#quickstart) from the developers page, or `mcp.json` in this repo (OAuth sign-in on first use).
**claude.ai connectors / ChatGPT** — add the URL `https://api.musicsforyou.com/mcp`; OAuth sign-in is built in, no key needed.
**REST** — one call, finished song back:
```bash
curl https://api.musicsforyou.com/v1/songs \
-H "Authorization: Bearer ty_live_…" -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"text":"A gentle lullaby for my daughter Mia, she loves the moon","waitSeconds":180}'
```
Get a key at **https://www.musicsforyou.com/developers**. New keys come with **3 free credits**. Generation costs 1 credit per call (you get two versions); compiling and revising are free.
## Tools
| Tool | Cost | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| `create_song` | 1 credit | One call: who the song is for → lyrics + two full versions + cover (server waits up to 180 s) |
| `compile_music_prompt` | free | Turn a request into title / lyrics / style so the user can read it first |
| `revise_generation_prompt` | free | Apply an edit ("stronger chorus", "female voice") to a plan |
| `generate_music` | 1 credit | Submit a plan; returns a generation id (two versions) |
| `get_generation` | free | Poll; supports `waitSeconds` long-poll |
| `replace_section` | 1 credit | Redo only one part of a finished song |
| `separate_stems` | free once per song | Vocals / instrumental split (12-stem split needs Pro) |
| `list_tracks` `list_presets` `get_credit_balance` `get_purchase_link` | free | Library, scenes, balance, Stripe checkout link |
The server also exposes MCP **prompts** (birthday, wedding, podcast intro…) and **resources** (scene knowledge cards, track details).
## How it works
Taoyuan is not a raw text-to-music wrapper. Your sentence goes through a songwriting compiler that decides structure, imagery and language, writes sectioned lyrics in the second person, and picks a style; the result is generated as two full candidates with cover art. Lyrics are written from the story, never copied from the prompt. Languages: Chinese, Cantonese, English, Japanese.
- Auth: API key (`ty_live_…`) or OAuth 2.1 (PKCE, dynamic client registration) — `https://api.musicsforyou.com/.well-known/oauth-authorization-server`
- Rate limits: 10 calls / min, 300 / day per key
- Webhooks: `PUT /v1/api-keys/:id/webhook` → HMAC-signed `generation.finished`
- Pricing: 10 songs US$9.9 · 50 songs US$39 (card, WeChat Pay, Alipay)
## Examples
- [`examples/claude_desktop_config.json`](examples/claude_desktop_config.json)
- [`examples/openai-agents.py`](examples/openai-agents.py) — OpenAI Agents SDK over MCP
- [`examples/curl.sh`](examples/curl.sh) — REST one-shot
## This package
`taoyuan-mcp` is a small stdio → Streamable HTTP proxy (37 lines). Tool definitions live on the server, so the package never goes stale. Env: `TAOYUAN_API_KEY` (required), `TAOYUAN_MCP_URL` (optional override).
