generate_prompt_song

Generate songs from text descriptions by providing themes or emotions, with AI creating titles, lyrics, and style. Specify instrumental tracks or music styles as needed.

Instructions

šŸŽ¼ Inspiration Mode: Generate songs based on simple text descriptions (AI automatically generates title, lyrics, style, etc.)

Use case: Use when users only provide simple song themes or emotional descriptions without detailed specifications.

Example inputs:
- "Help me generate a song about a peaceful morning"
- "Want a song that expresses longing"
- "Create music about friendship"

āš ļø COST WARNING: This tool makes an API call to MusicMCP.AI which may incur costs (5 credits per generation). Each generation creates 2 songs. Only use when explicitly requested by the user.

Language Note: Pass the prompt in the user's input language.

Args:
    prompt (str): Song theme or emotional description, 1-1200 characters
    instrumental (bool): Whether instrumental only (no lyrics)
    style (str, optional): Music style (e.g., "ambient", "pop", "rock"), default None

Returns:
    Song information including download URLs

Implementation Reference

  • The core handler function implementing the 'generate_prompt_song' tool logic: input validation, API call to create generation task, polling for completion, result formatting and return.

Schema Changelog

Changes observed during successful MCP inspections.

  1. First observed

TDQS

A4.4/5.0
Behavior4/5

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

Discloses API call cost (5 credits, generates 2 songs), language handling, and that it is a generation tool. No annotations provided, so description carries full burden; it adequately covers behavioral traits.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness4/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

Well-structured with emoji headers, use cases, examples, and warnings. Each sentence adds value; slightly long but appropriate for complexity.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness5/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

Covers all important aspects: purpose, usage, parameters, cost, language, example inputs. Output schema exists so return details are not needed. Complete for a generation tool.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters4/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema description coverage is 0%, but description compensates by explaining each parameter: prompt character limit, instrumental as boolean, style with examples. Adds meaning beyond schema structure.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose5/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

Clearly states the tool generates songs from simple text descriptions, automatically handling title, lyrics, style. Distinguishes from sibling 'generate_custom_song' through 'Inspiration Mode' and example inputs.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines4/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

Explicitly states use case: when users provide simple themes without detailed specs. Includes cost warning and language note, guiding appropriate usage. Does not explicitly mention alternatives but context implies when not to use.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
