Unified AI model API for 130+ models across 18 providers. Browse models, check pricing, create image/video/music/audio tasks, poll results, check balance, and call LLM endpoints. Free catalog tools work without an API key. npx @runapi.ai/mcp
Brightness, richness, loudness, texture, timbre (MFCCs), frequency band energy, spectral contrast, dynamic range, LUFS loudness, stereo field
harmonic_analysis
Key detection, pitch class distribution, tonnetz
rhythm_analysis
Tempo (BPM), beat positions, tempo stability
full_analysis
Everything above in one call, plus percussive character (HPSS), stereo field, and section boundaries. Recommended workflow: call without resolution first to get summary + section map, then zoom into interesting sections with `start_time`/`end_time` at high resolution
Ready-to-Paste Client Configurations
Paste either (or both) of these JSON server blocks into your client config file (e.g. claude_desktop_config.json or ~/.cursor/mcp.json).
