## What it does

This server connects agents to audio libraries. Agents filter files using `search_sounds` and `search_packs` based on tempo, musical key, and duration across thousands of entries. Every item contains 35 metadata fields. Tool `download_sound` then provides a direct download link, a sound page reference, and a prepared `curl` command.

When standard files do not match your project, `generate_sound` synthesizes a brand new effect from a text prompt. Synthesized audio maxes out at 10 seconds per clip, with a weekly limit of 250 free creations.

Clients lacking browser-based OAuth must supply an authorization token via HTTP headers, because calls will fail without authentication. All library audio is cleared for personal and commercial distribution without mandatory credits.
