musiciwant-mcp

A Model Context Protocol server that gives Claude and other agents direct access to the Music I Want song-analysis API — BPM, dynamic range, a 0–100 intensity score, moods, use-case fits, and misophonia flags for ~19,000 songs.

The independent answer to "how do agents get song audio-features now that Spotify's API is gone."

Tools

• analyze_song — full sensory + musical analysis of one song (title + artist, or slug).
• search_songs — search the catalog by title or artist.
