Verdicts

Mubert API

Hosted MCP server with 21 tools and OAuth 2.1 with PKCE, in the official registry under com.mubert. Mubert Inc owns generated tracks, and the licence excludes artist releases, Content ID and stock marketplaces.

Soundverse API

Songs with vocals, instrumentals, stems (2, 6 or 12), SFX and remix behind one endpoint. No status page, changelog or security.txt.

Before you call either

Mubert API

  1. Search the library before generating. A match costs no generation
  2. Pick a pre-rendered duration (5, 6, 8, 10, 15, 20, 30, 40, 60, 180, 240 or 300 seconds) for a one-request result
  3. Download tracks straight away. URLs expire after 900 seconds by default
  4. Treat stream URLs as secrets. They carry the customer access token

Soundverse API

  1. Always set Idempotency-Key on creates, so a retry after a 429 doesn't bill twice
  2. Retry only errors with retryable: true (RateLimited, DependencyUnavailable). 401 and 403 won't fix themselves
  3. Pass license explicitly. The default is 1, royalty-free, which doesn't cover sync or distribution
  4. Fetch audio through GET /v1/files/{file_id}/download, then poll GET /v1/generations/{id} or open /stream for progress
