Trackyard MCP Server

Trackyard gives you instant access to tens of thousands of curated tracks — every song 100% legally cleared for social media, YouTube, podcasts, and online content (non-film/TV). Three things make it stand out:

1. Massive cleared catalog — tens of thousands of hand-curated songs ready to use on any social platform, no licensing headaches.
2. AI-powered search — describe what you need in plain English ("moody lo-fi for a coffee shop vlog") and the API finds the right track, even inferring genre, mood, BPM, and instrumentation from your description.
3. Smart clip downloader — trim any track to an exact duration and the algorithm automatically finds the best-sounding segment. Optionally specify a hit point so the biggest moment in the song lands exactly where you need it in your video.

Use it directly from Claude Desktop and other AI tools — just describe what you need and download the perfect clip.

Use Cases

• Social media content farms — automate music at scale for TikTok, Reels, and Shorts pipelines; ask Claude to find music for each video brief and clip it to the exact platform duration (15s, 30s, 60s)
• Social media ads — find brand-safe tracks that match your ad's energy, trimmed to the exact ad length with the hook landing right on the key visual moment
• AI video generation — pair AI-generated video with AI-selected music; describe the video to Claude and have it search and clip the right track automatically
• YouTube & podcast backgrounds — find instrumental, low-energy tracks to sit under voiceover without competing with it
• Product demo & unboxing videos — match music energy to product vibe; minimal synth for a SaaS tool, high-energy for a fitness brand
• Real estate & property walkthroughs — calm, spacious ambient tracks that complement visuals without distraction
• App & game trailers — build tension or excitement with the hit point placed exactly on a key reveal moment
