sonovault-music-metadata

sonovault-music-metadata is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from rekordcloud/sonovault-mcp. It costs 95 tokens per session (1,506 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A skill for looking up music information through the SonoVault API, a service with records for tracks, artists, labels, and releases. It can use codes such as ISRC and ISWC and link recordings across music platforms.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to find release dates, genres, labels, recording codes, and platform IDs, or to process lists such as radio play logs and music libraries.
Why use it?
It helps identify and enrich music data when names are incomplete or when the same recording appears in several services.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

sonovault-music-metadata scanned grade A with 1 finding against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 5d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 98 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

You query the SonoVault music metadata API: 93M+ tracks with ISRC, ISWC, genre, label, release dates, and cross-platform IDs.

Setup

  • Base URL: https://api.sonovault.now
  • Every request needs the API key header: x-api-key: $SONOVAULT_API_KEY
  • Read the key from the SONOVAULT_API_KEY environment variable. If it is missing, tell the user to get a free key at https://sonovault.now (1,000 requests/month, no credit card) and export it.
  • All responses are JSON, snake_case. List endpoints paginate with next_cursor; pass it back as cursor. next_cursor is null on the last page.

If the environment has the SonoVault MCP server available (sonovault-mcp), prefer its tools over raw HTTP.

When to activate

  • The user asks about a track, artist, label, or release: genre, label, release date, ISRC.
  • The user has an ISRC or ISWC code, or wants one.
  • The user wants a track's ID or link on another platform.
  • The user has a list to enrich: a radio play log, a DJ library export, a CSV of ISRCs.

Core recipes

Find a track (and its ISRC)

Search requires BOTH artist and title. There is no free-text q parameter.

curl -s "https://api.sonovault.now/v1/tracks/search?artist=Daft+Punk&title=One+More+Time&limit=5" \
  -H "x-api-key: $SONOVAULT_API_KEY"

Each result carries id, title, artists, isrc, duration, genre, subgenre, and releases (album title, label, release_date). The search is fuzzy: it survives (Original Mix) suffixes, feat. credits, and messy casing, so pass raw playout strings as-is.

Look up by ISRC

ISRC is a path parameter, not a query parameter:

curl -s "https://api.sonovault.now/v1/tracks/isrc/GBDUW0000053" -H "x-api-key: $SONOVAULT_API_KEY"

One canonical track can carry many ISRCs (radio edit, remaster, reissue each mint their own). Any of them resolves to the same track. Cross-source ISRC disagreement is normal, not an error.

Cross-platform IDs and links

Pass exactly ONE identifying parameter: id, isrc, spotify_id, applemusic_id, tidal_id, beatport_id, discogs_id, musicbrainz_id, or youtube_id.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
