Summary
Sound search that answers the licensing question in the same result.
Finding a clip is the easy half; knowing whether you can ship it is the slow half. Licence and attribution detail come back attached to each hit, so the choice and the clearance happen in one step.
What it is
An MCP server over Freesound.org that finds sound effects, ambience and music loops for a video or content workflow from a natural-language description.
What you get
- Natural-language search across the Freesound library (search_sounds)
- Duration, tags and description on each result, so a clip can be judged before it is downloaded
- Licensing information on every result, which is what decides whether attribution is required
- Preview URLs for immediate playback
Requirements
A Freesound account and an API key, applied for at https://freesound.org/api/apply/ and passed as FREESOUND_API_KEY. Runs from Docker, or locally with Python 3.10+ and uv.
Setup effort
One command plus a key — docker run -i --rm -e FREESOUND_API_KEY freesound-mcp, then supply credentials
