MCP Server for Suno AI — Generate music directly from Claude, VSCode, Cursor, and any MCP-compatible client.
by YellowKode Academy · sunoboard.com
What is this?
@yellowkode/suno-mcp is an open-source Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that connects Claude and other AI assistants directly to the Suno AI music generation API.
Instead of manually calling the API, you can just tell Claude:
"Generate a dark ambient viking instrumental, slow drums, cinematic, no vocals"
...and Claude handles the full generation flow automatically.
Prerequisites
- Node.js 18+
- A Suno API key — two options:
| Option | Key format | Where to get |
|---|---|---|
| SunoBoard (recommended) | sb_... | sunoboard.com — generations saved to your dashboard |
| sunoapi.org (BYOK) | abc123... | sunoapi.org → Dashboard → API Keys |
The server auto-detects which API to use based on the key prefix. No extra config needed.
Quick start
# One-shot (no install needed)
SUNO_API_KEY=your_key npx @yellowkode/suno-mcp
# Or install globally
npm install -g @yellowkode/suno-mcp
Setup
Claude Desktop
Edit claude_desktop_config.json:
macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json
{
"mcpServers": {
"suno": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["@yellowkode/suno-mcp"],
"env": {
"SUNO_API_KEY": "your_key_here"
}
}
}
}
Claude Code (terminal)
claude mcp add suno \
-e SUNO_API_KEY=your_key_here \
-- npx @yellowkode/suno-mcp
Cursor / Cline (VSCode)
Add to .cursor/mcp.json or .vscode/mcp.json:
{
"mcpServers": {
"suno": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["@yellowkode/suno-mcp"],
"env": {
"SUNO_API_KEY": "your_key_here"
}
}
}
}
