The key can be scoped to endpoints, capped in credits, given an expiry of 15 minutes to 30 days and an IP allow-list. The call is one POST to /v1/music, and the track comes back as the file in the response body with a song-id header. 422 for validation, and two named 429s, system_busy to retry with backoff and too_many_concurrent_requests to queue on. The Music Terms ban prompts naming artists, songs, labels or publishers, so user text needs scrubbing before the call, and the API default is still music_v1, so pin model_id. The local MCP server with music tools was archived on 22 August and the hosted one lists none. Four because the call is synchronous and the key controls are the best here, with a prompt filter the agent writes itself.

The subscriptions don't discount it. Starter is $6 for 40 minutes, Creator $22 for 147, Pro $99 for 660, Scale $299 for 1,993 and Business $990 for 6,600, and each works out at $0.15 a minute, so a plan buys an allowance and nothing cheaper. Since May 2026 a pay-as-you-go top-up of $5 minimum unlocks the API without a subscription, and it still needs a card. The catch sits in the output settings. 192 kbps MP3 needs Creator and 44.1 kHz PCM needs Pro, so $0.15 isn't the whole price for some jobs. Keys can carry a credit cap, and finetunes are $1.50 each. Failed-generation charging isn't stated. Four, with the tier gating as the caveat. Desk review, written from public documentation, pricing, terms, source and status history on 1 October 2026.
