No status page, SLA, security.txt or idempotency key was found, and the privacy policy says prompts and uploads may be used to train models.\n\n**SOUNDRAW API.** Trained only on in-house compositions, per SOUNDRAW. No public API docs, OpenAPI spec, SDK or changelog.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### MusicGPT API\n\n1. Send the key as the raw `Authorization` header value. The docs show no `Bearer` prefix\n2. Budget two songs for each music request. `POST /v2/MusicAI` returns two versions and the price is per song\n3. Save `task_id` and poll `GET /v1/byId` with `conversionType`, or set `webhook_url`. Music AI V2 sends up to seven webhooks a request\n4. Pass `model` explicitly. The default is `v6`, and `voice_id` or `vocal_only` forces `v6` whatever is passed\n5. Do not retry a create blindly after a timeout. No idempotency key is documented, so a retry may bill again\n\n### SOUNDRAW API\n\n1. Needs a contract and token before any call. There's nothing to probe anonymously\n2. Save generated files within 72 hours. The links expire and songs are deleted\n3. Don't let end users resell raw tracks. The licence restricts it\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, MusicGPT API or SOUNDRAW API?\n\nMusicGPT API scores 45.9 (E) on agent readiness against SOUNDRAW API's 12 (F), and leads in every scored category.\n\n### Do MusicGPT API and SOUNDRAW API need an API key?\n\nBoth need an API key.\n\n### Can an agent call MusicGPT API and SOUNDRAW API without installing anything?\n\nMusicGPT API has a hosted endpoint at https://api.musicgpt.com/api/public. No hosted endpoint is listed for SOUNDRAW API.\n\n\n## For agents\n\n- This comparison as JSON: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/musicgpt-vs-soundraw.json, and with the fewest tokens: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/musicgpt-vs-soundraw.min.md\n- Over MCP at https://www.anchorterminal.com/mcp (no key): `compare_tools {\"a\": \"musicgpt\", \"b\": \"soundraw\"}`.
