Nothing serious here today

Today is the operative word: we check BeatSeek every 15 minutes and re-read its code on every release. Watch it and you find out the day that stops being true.

Available tools 4

Read directly from the server with tools/list, grouped by what they act on. If a tool disappears, we record the date.

analyze

analyze_track

Measure BPM and musical key (with Camelot code) from the audio of a SoundCloud track, using a 30-second window starting at `position` ms. BPM is corrected for half/double-time errors using the track's genre. First call takes ~5–15 s; repeat calls are cached for 30 days. Limited to 6 calls per minute per client. Preview snippets (≤60 s) are rejected.

playlist

get_playlist

List the tracks of a SoundCloud playlist or album URL.

resolve

resolve_track

Find the best SoundCloud URL for a known artist + title (e.g. a line from a tracklist). Returns the best match and up to 3 alternates, each with a confidence score in [0, 1]; match is null when nothing fits.

soundcloud

search_soundcloud

Free-text search of SoundCloud tracks, playlists or albums (e.g. 'melodic techno 2026'). Each result carries BPM and key; prefer values with bpmSource/keySource 'analyzed' (measured from audio) over 'uploader' (tags, often wrong). For a known artist + title, use resolve_track instead.

BeatSeek — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can BeatSeek do?

It exposes 4 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: analyze_track, get_playlist, resolve_track, search_soundcloud. The full list with descriptions is on this page — we take it from the server itself via tools/list, not from a README. How MCP servers expose tools in the first place →

Is BeatSeek working right now?

We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 91 of 91 checks got a reply (100.0%), average response time 1532 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.

How do I connect BeatSeek?

Copy the ready config from this page. We generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each in the form that client actually reads. It is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address.

Does BeatSeek need an API key?

No. BeatSeek completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 4 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.

How fast is BeatSeek?

It answers our handshake in 1532 ms on average, which is faster than 1% of all working MCP servers we measure. That is on the slow side — worth knowing if the tool sits inside an interactive loop. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
