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.

chatgpt.com · works on a FREE account · ChatGPT calls these "plugins"

1. Go to chatgpt.com/plugins — or click your profile picture (top right), then Settings, then Connectors.
2. Choose to add a new one. A box opens titled New Plugin.
3. Name: Songs To Your Eyes. Description: anything helpful, such as Music Licensing. The icon is optional — skip it.
4. Under Connection, make sure the Server URL tab is selected — not Tunnel — and paste the address above into the box.
5. Change Authentication away from OAuth. It defaults to OAuth, and if you leave it there the connection will fail — our catalogue has no login. Set it to the no-authentication option and ignore Advanced OAuth settings entirely. This is the step people get wrong.
6. Tick I understand and want to continue. The warning beside it appears for every plugin OpenAI has not reviewed itself — see the note at the bottom of this page.
7. Save. Then, in a chat, switch the plugin on so ChatGPT is allowed to use it.

If you cannot find where to add one, open Settings → Connectors → Advanced settings and turn on Developer mode first.

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.
4. Click Add Connector. Open the connector afterwards and you should see All tools enabled with eight tools listed. That means it worked.
5. In a chat, open the + menu in the message box, choose Connectors, and make sure Songs To Your Eyes is switched on.
6. Ask for music — describe the scene, the feeling, or the instruments you want to hear.

chat.mistral.ai · works on the free plan too

1. Open the sidebar on the left and choose Intelligence, then Connectors.

5. Click Add, then Connect. Skip the API token box — we do not use one.
6. In a chat, open the Tools menu and tick our connector so Le Chat is allowed to use it.

7. In a thread, switch our connector on so Perplexity can use it.

gemini.google.com · needs a paid Google AI plan (Pro in the US, Ultra in most other countries) · personal Google Account only — work and school accounts cannot use this

1. First, 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.
2. On gemini.google.com in a browser, click Settings & help at the bottom, then Connected Apps. If you do not see it, look under Personal Intelligence first.
3. Under Custom apps for Spark, click Add a custom app.
4. Paste the address above into the MCP server URL box. Ignore anything under Advanced features — our catalogue needs no login.
5. Click Next and follow the prompts.
6. In a chat, type @ and pick the app so Gemini uses it for your request — 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.

for people comfortable editing a settings file

1. In Cursor, create or open .cursor/mcp.json and add: { "mcpServers": { "stye_catalog": { "url": "https://mcp.songstoyoureyes.com/mcp" } } }
2. In VS Code with Copilot, the same goes in .vscode/mcp.json, with "type": "http" alongside the URL.
3. In Claude Code, one command does it: claude mcp add --transport http stye https://mcp.songstoyoureyes.com/mcp
4. 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"
5. 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.
