give your AI agent a soundboard. no cap.
millions of sound buttons · zero config · just vibes ✨
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:
this is not a notification beep. this is the entire internet soundboard. your agent has rizz now.
that's it. that's the setup. no cap.
Add to your VS Code MCP config (User or .vscode/mcp.json):
~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json:
.cursor/mcp.json:
[!TIP] works on macOS out of the box (uses native
afplay) — no extra installs needed. on linux justsudo apt install ffmpeg. that's it bestie.
| Tool | What it does | It's giving |
|---|---|---|
search_sounds | search myinstants for sounds | "bruh" → 20 results with slugs |
browse_category | browse by category | "memes" "games" "reactions" |
play_sound | play a sound (by slug, url, or quick search) | { query: "sad trombone" } plays instantly |
get_sound_details* | get details about a sound (views, uploader, duration) | requires MYINSTANTS_DETAILS=true |
list_devices* | list available audio output devices | requires MYINSTANTS_DETAILS=true |
* requires MYINSTANTS_DETAILS=true environment variable
play_sound options| Parameter | Type | Default | The tea ☕ |
|---|---|---|---|
query | string | — | quick search, plays first result. the goat option. |
slug | string | — | exact slug from search results |
url | string | — | direct MP3 URL if you're built different |
wait | boolean | false | false = plays in background while agent keeps cooking (default 💨). true = blocks until done (for dramatic effect 🎭) |
| Resource | The vibe |
|---|---|
myinstants://trending | what's bussin rn in the US 🔥 |
myinstants://categories | all 14 categories no cap |
myinstants://best | hall of fame. the GOATs. the legends. 🐐 |
anime & manga · games · memes · movies · music · politics · pranks · reactions · sound effects · sports · television · tiktok trends · viral · whatsapp audios
sounds queue up automatically. no overlap. your agent can fire multiple sounds and they play one after another. sheesh.
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.
check our myinstants.instructions.md for the full unhinged setup. your agent will never be an NPC again. 🏆
| Variable | Default | The tea ☕ |
|---|---|---|
MYINSTANTS_VOLUME | 0.5 | how loud (0-1). crank it bestie. |
MYINSTANTS_WAIT | false | "true" = sounds block until finished. dramatic effect mode 🎭 |
MYINSTANTS_DEVICE | (system default) | route audio to a specific output device. platform-specific device name. |
MYINSTANTS_PLAYER | (auto) | force a specific player: ffplay, mpv, afplay, or paplay. |
MYINSTANTS_DETAILS | false | "true" = enables get_sound_details and list_devices tools. |
route sounds to a specific output device instead of system default:
discover available devices:
or use the list_devices tool when MYINSTANTS_DETAILS=true — your agent can discover devices for you. 💅
player support:
| Player | Device Flag | Example |
|---|---|---|
ffplay | -audio_device | ffplay -audio_device "Denon AVR-S760H" |
mpv | --audio-device= | mpv --audio-device="pulse/alsa_output.usb" |
paplay | --device= | paplay --device=bluez_sink.XX |
afplay | ❌ N/A | macOS system default only (no device selection) |
notes:
MYINSTANTS_DEVICE not setMYINSTANTS_PLAYER=ffplay or mpv if you need device control| Player | Platform | Install | Vibe |
|---|---|---|---|
afplay | macOS | pre-installed 💅 | just works. zero effort. slay. |
ffplay | everywhere | brew install ffmpeg / apt install ffmpeg | the reliable bestie |
mpv | everywhere | brew install mpv / apt install mpv | also valid no cap |
auto-detects what you have. tries afplay first on mac, then ffplay, then mpv. fallback chain is bussin.
because your AI agent should be able to hit you with a vine boom when the code compiles. because sad trombone when tests fail is objectively correct. because the bruh button exists and your agent deserves to press it. this is not delulu — this is the future.
every other MCP sound server plays one notification beep. one beep. that's giving NPC energy. we have millions of sounds. the entire internet soundboard. main character behavior only.
