Tools have disappeared from this server

A tool that vanishes takes a piece of your agent with it, and the change arrives silently. Watch this server and every such change lands in your inbox.

Available tools 5

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

sound
get_sound
Get full metadata for one sound by slug, including download URLs, generation prompt and measured acoustics (attack/tail/brightness + character labels).
get_sound_set
Get a coherent set of sounds for an app or game in one call — one sound per role, with format metadata, hashes and stable download URLs. Use it when the task needs a whole kit; use get_role_sound for one event. Check content_check: verified/unverified/rejected is bound to the exact role, format and file SHA256; unverified files still require listening in context. Sets include UI styles, game and app scenarios, acoustic-drum-kit, animal-calls (15 isolated calls), and dungeon-traps (6 isolated mechanisms).
job
get_job
Look up a historical generation job by job_id. New generation is no longer available.
role
get_role_sound
Choose this when the task calls for a sound for a named event or interaction — a button click, purchase success, error beep, level-up, dialogue blip, rain loop. Pass the role as plain words: role ids (click, success, purchase-success, dialogue-blip, rain-loop…) and common aliases (button click, ka-ching, jump scare, text blip…) are all accepted. Returns a qualified candidate for that role when one satisfies the requested constraints, with MP3/WAV URLs, 2-3 alternates and the family page for browsing more. Five core game roles include content_check (verified/unverified/rejected), scoped to scene, role, format and exact file SHA256; unverified previews are not certified suitable. Download selected files locally and retain originals. Task-permitted processing requires a recipe, output SHA256, renewed file checks and a listening check; changed bytes do not inherit content review. Other task-permitted sources or local synthesis may be mixed in. Optional style: crisp (short, bright, dry), soft (darker, gentler), spacious (reverb, longer tail), balanced (default: most typical). Loop roles require prepared loop metadata; WAV seam evidence and MP3 padding are reported separately and may remain unknown. For multiple events consider get_sound_set; use search_sounds for a description or a gap. These are task branches, not a fixed sequence. Unknown roles return not_found with the full role list; GET https://sfxmint.com/api/v1/roles lists roles with aliases.
sounds
search_sounds
Free-text search over 4,600+ free CC0 sound effects. Use it for sound descriptions, additional constraints or gaps left by another tool. Choose get_role_sound for a named event or get_sound_set for multiple events when that fits the task; these are task branches, not a fixed sequence. Exact keyword matches come first, then semantic nearest neighbours; hard constraints are applied before the result limit and a request may validly return no qualified candidate with near-match diagnostics. Returns direct, hotlinkable MP3/WAV URLs and verified OGG (Vorbis) URLs where available — no API key, no attribution required — plus measured acoustics (attack_ms, tail_ms, centroid_hz), character labels like 'bright · punchy · tight', loop/file-QC status, and score/match as ranking evidence only (role = known role default, exact = all words hit, partial = some words hit, semantic = nearest by meaning).

Sounds — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Sounds do?
It exposes 5 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: get_job, get_role_sound, get_sound, get_sound_set, search_sounds. 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 Sounds 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 134 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
Did Sounds ever remove tools?
Yes. generate_sound is no longer exposed — we recorded the date each one disappeared. A tool vanishing usually means a breaking change for anything that depended on it.
How do I connect Sounds?
Copy the ready config from this page — we generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each with the file path that client actually reads. It is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address.
Does Sounds need an API key?
No. Sounds completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 5 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.
How fast is Sounds?
It answers our handshake in 134 ms on average, which is faster than 79% of all working MCP servers we measure. That puts it in the quick quarter of the ecosystem. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
