Sonicmatch MCP Server
Video-native MCP server for license-safe BGM. Watches the footage - not the script - and returns a shortlist, a 12–20s hook, and an ffmpeg ducking spec. Its 11 documented tools cover video, analyze, music, mix.
People who work with video, analyze and music and want it reachable from Claude, Cursor, VS Code, or another MCP client. The project is written in Python.
