Music search inside your AI assistant

claude.ai in a browser, or the Claude desktop app · paid plan needed

1. Open Claude and click your name or initials in the bottom-left corner, then choose Settings.
2. In the menu on the left, click Connectors.
3. Click Add custom connector. A small window opens.
4. In Name, type anything you like — Songs To Your Eyes is a good choice, because that is the label you will see later.
5. In Remote MCP server URL, paste the address you copied above.
6. Leave every other box empty. If you see fields called OAuth Client ID or Client Secret, they stay blank — our catalogue needs no login. Filling them in is the single most common way this goes wrong.
7. Click Add. You should now see eight tools listed. That means it worked.
8. Start a new chat, make sure the connector is switched on in the tools menu under the message box, and ask for music.

1. Open the sidebar on the left and choose Skills and Connectors, then the Connectors tab.
2. Click New Connector (top right). A box opens titled Custom Connector.
3. Name: Songs To Your Eyes. Server URL: paste the address you copied above. That is all — Grok asks for nothing else, and there is no login to set up.

5. In a chat, open the + menu in the message box, choose Connectors, and make sure Songs To Your Eyes is switched on.

gemini.google.com · Google AI Pro or higher — Gemini only offers custom apps on a Pro plan or above, so on the free plan the option is simply not there · personal Google Account only — work and school accounts cannot use this

1. Check your plan: Custom apps for Spark appears only on Google AI Pro or a higher plan. If you are on the free plan you will not find the menu below, however carefully you look.
2. Make sure Keep Activity is switched on in your Gemini settings. Gemini refuses to connect custom apps while it is off — this is the step that silently blocks most people.
3. Use a computer: custom apps can only be connected in the Gemini web app. Once connected, the app is available in the Gemini mobile app too.
4. Go to gemini.google.com. At the bottom, click Settings & help, then Connected Apps. If you don't find Connected Apps, first click Personal Intelligence, then Connected Apps.
5. Under Custom apps for Spark, find the Add a custom app link to get started field — or, if you have connected a custom app before, click Add a custom app.
6. Enter the address above as the app's MCP server URL. Leave Advanced features alone — that is for servers that need credentials, and our catalogue needs no login.
7. Click Next and follow the on-screen instructions.
8. In a chat, enter @ and select the app, so Gemini uses it for that prompt — this is how Gemini decides which connected app to call.

Gemini calls these "custom apps for Spark". Not yet offered in the EEA, UK or Switzerland, and English-only for now — Google is still rolling this out, so the menus may shift.

Cursor desktop app only — custom MCPs cannot be added in Cursor's browser version · two ways in: Cursor's own screen, or its settings file. Both end up in the same config.

1. Open Customize in the left sidebar — or open the Command Palette and choose View: Open MCP Settings.
2. Click MCPs in the row of tabs along the top.
3. Click + New. Depending on your version this is labelled Add Custom MCP or New MCP Server.
4. Cursor opens mcp.json — or a form. Add our server: { "mcpServers": { "stye_catalog": { "url": "https://mcp.songstoyoureyes.com/mcp" } } }
5. Save, then check the server is toggled on in the MCPs list if it isn't already.
6. In a chat, press the + beside the model name and, under Search MCPs, make sure Stye Catalog is switched on for that conversation. Then describe the scene you need music for.

The MCPs tab before anything is added — + New opens mcp.json

mcp.json opens beside the tab — our server goes inside mcpServers

When it has worked: stye_catalog under Connected, 8 tools enabled, green dot — and the filled-in file beside it

In a chat: the + beside the model name lists your MCPs — Stye Catalog switched on means it is in play

Prefer the file? Creating or editing .cursor/mcp.json with the same block does exactly the same thing.

for people comfortable editing a settings file

1. In VS Code with Copilot, this goes in .vscode/mcp.json, with "type": "http" alongside the URL: { "servers": { "stye_catalog": { "type": "http", "url": "https://mcp.songstoyoureyes.com/mcp" } } }
2. In Claude Code, one command does it: claude mcp add --transport http stye https://mcp.songstoyoureyes.com/mcp
3. In OpenAI Codex, either run codex mcp add stye --url https://mcp.songstoyoureyes.com/mcp or add this to ~/.codex/config.toml: [mcp_servers.stye] url = "https://mcp.songstoyoureyes.com/mcp"
4. Windsurf, Zed, Cline and JetBrains all accept the same URL — the key name differs slightly per tool. Windsurf in particular uses serverUrl rather than url, which is the usual reason a Windsurf config silently does nothing.
