🔴 myinstants-mcp

give your AI agent a soundboard. no cap.
_{millions of sound buttons · zero config · just vibes ✨}

Quick Start:

fr fr what is this

an MCP server that connects AI agents to myinstants.com — the internet's largest soundboard. millions of meme sounds, vine booms, fart noises, anime clips, gaming sfx, whatever you need bestie.

your AI agent can now:

• 🔍 search any sound on myinstants
• 🔴 smash that button and play it through your speakers
• 📂 browse categories — memes, games, movies, reactions, tiktok trends
• 📈 check what's trending — stay current fr fr
• ⏳ wait or don't — block until sound finishes or let it play in the background

this is not a notification beep. this is the entire internet soundboard. your agent has rizz now.

the setup is bussin

npx myinstants-mcp

that's it. that's the setup. no cap.

VS Code / GitHub Copilot

Add to your VS Code MCP config (User or .vscode/mcp.json):

{
  "servers": {
    "myinstants": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "myinstants-mcp@latest"]
    }
  }
}

Claude Desktop

~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "myinstants": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "myinstants-mcp@latest"]
    }
  }
}

Cursor

.cursor/mcp.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "myinstants": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "myinstants-mcp@latest"]
    }
  }
}

[!TIP] works on macOS out of the box (uses native afplay) — no extra installs needed. on linux just sudo apt install ffmpeg. that's it bestie.

what can it do tho 🤔

how it works (for the sigma devs)

agent calls play_sound({ query: "vine boom", wait: false })
  → searches myinstants.com
  → finds the MP3 URL
  → streams it through afplay/ffplay/mpv
  → sound plays through your speakers
  → agent keeps cooking while you hear the boom 🍳

sounds queue up automatically. no overlap. your agent can fire multiple sounds and they play one after another. sheesh.

teach your agent to troll you 💀

drop a .instructions.md in your repo (with applyTo: "**" in the frontmatter) and your agent will play sounds while it works. imagine: vine boom when it finds a bug. sad trombone when your tests fail. rick roll mid-code-review for absolutely no reason.

name: "Soundboard"
description: "Sounds for all contexts"
applyTo: "**"

Play sounds using the myinstants MCP server while you work:
- Play `play_sound(query: "vine boom sound")` when you find cursed code
- Play `play_sound(query: "sad trombone")` when the user's code doesn't work
- Play `play_sound(query: "minecraft level up sound")` when you fix something

check our myinstants.instructions.md for the full unhinged setup. your agent will never be an NPC again. 🏆

config

env vars

{
  "servers": {
    "myinstants": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "myinstants-mcp@latest"],
      "env": {
        "MYINSTANTS_VOLUME": "0.8",
        "MYINSTANTS_DEVICE": "Denon AVR-S760H",
        "MYINSTANTS_DETAILS": "true"
      }
    }
  }
}

audio device selection

route sounds to a specific output device instead of system default:

# set device name (platform-specific)
export MYINSTANTS_DEVICE="Denon AVR-S760H"

# force a specific player (optional)
export MYINSTANTS_PLAYER="ffplay"

# enable device listing tool
export MYINSTANTS_DETAILS="true"

discover available devices:

# macOS
ffmpeg -f avfoundation -list_devices true -i "" 2>&1

# Linux (PulseAudio)
pactl list short sinks

# mpv (cross-platform)
mpv --audio-device=help

or use the list_devices tool when MYINSTANTS_DETAILS=true — your agent can discover devices for you. 💅

player support:

notes:

• default behavior unchanged — uses system default output if MYINSTANTS_DEVICE not set
• afplay on macOS doesn't support device selection — set MYINSTANTS_PLAYER=ffplay or mpv if you need device control
• device names are platform-specific (see discovery commands above)
• Windows PowerShell player doesn't support device selection — install ffmpeg or mpv for device support

audio player support

auto-detects what you have. tries afplay first on mac, then ffplay, then mpv. fallback chain is bussin.

why tho 💀
