Suno has unveiled a tool that lets users create songs from inside AI assistants including ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini.
The tool, Suno MCP, is in beta and was announced in Suno’s release notes on Wednesday (October 28).
Separately, MBW has spotted a sign-in portal for Suno’s developer API, which the company said remains in beta.
Suno wrote in the MCP release notes: “Connect Suno to Claude, ChatGPT, Claude Code and other MCP clients, then create music in the workspace you’re already in, no tab-switching needed.”
Suno’s MCP page also lists Gemini and the coding tool Cursor among the apps it supports.
MCP, or Model Context Protocol, is an open standard introduced by Anthropic in November 2024.
It “allows AI assistants to connect with external tools and services,” according to a Suno help page.
Third-party developers have previously built unofficial MCP servers for Suno, but Suno MCP is the company’s own.
Suno says users can develop lyrics and a musical style in conversation with their AI assistant, before Suno generates the track.
Users can also build a full track from an uploaded voice recording or loop, and make covers, extensions, and mashups from songs already in their Suno library.
Every song made through the tool is saved to the user’s Suno library and uses credits from their Suno plan.
Suno says the MCP works on all of its plans, including its free tier, with access to the beta through an early-access sign-up.
No API key is required, according to Suno, which says setup involves logging in to a Suno account and granting permission.
Suno notes that some AI apps only let users add connectors on certain paid plans.
The MCP connects a user’s own Suno account to their AI assistant, with songs drawing on that user’s credits.
Suno’s developer API, by contrast, would let developers build Suno’s music generation into their own apps.
A sign-in portal for the Suno API, spotted by MBW at platform.suno.com, invites visitors to “Sign in to manage your API account.”
The Suno portal, headlined “Make music with the Suno API,” states: “Generate original songs, covers, and mashups from a single prompt – Suno’s music generation engine behind a simple REST API.”
Visitors can sign in with the Google account linked to their Suno account, or with a code sent by email.
Suno told MBW earlier this month that the API will not be open to all developers at first, and that it plans to launch with a select set of partners.
Suno said it was still assessing applications to its API program, which it began accepting at the start of the summer.
The company did not name any partners with access to the Suno API.
It added that it would share more about bringing Suno’s music generation to other platforms when it is ready.
Jack Brody, Suno’s Chief Product Officer, revealed in July that the company was exploring a developer API, with a form for developers to express interest.
“Ahead of our partner powered model, we’re exploring a developer API and want to hear from you before we start building,” Brody wrote in a LinkedIn post at the time. “We plan to start with a curated group of partners so we can develop this thoughtfully, and we’re especially interested in applications that unlock experiences generative music makes possible for the first time.”
It is not the first time Suno’s technology has been built into another company’s AI assistant.
In December 2023, Microsoft added a Suno plug-in to its Copilot chatbot, letting users generate songs from text prompts.
The MCP launch comes as Suno signs licensing deals with rightsholders while fighting lawsuits from two of the three major record companies.
Suno settled Warner Music Group‘s copyright lawsuit in November 2025, striking a licensing deal with the major at the same time.
It has since signed deals with BMG and Believe, and launched its v6 suite of models, developed with all three partners, on September 9.
Universal Music Group and Sony Music Entertainment sued Suno for a second time on September 18, accusing it of copying 60,202 of their recordings without a license.
The labels allege that v6 was built using outputs of earlier Suno models that were trained on those recordings.
“Training a ‘new’ model on the outputs of an infringing model does not eliminate the infringement; it launders it,” the Universal and Sony complaint states.
Suno said in a statement at the time that the claims “remain fundamentally flawed on both the facts and the law.”
Suno filed its answer to the suit on October 20, denying the labels’ claims and arguing that any copying is fair use.
Elon Musk said on October 7 that SpaceX’s AI agent, Grok Bot, would use Suno, as MBW reported on October 8.
Musk wrote on X that SpaceX would use “the best back end model for any given task, including Claude Opus 5.5, MidJourney, Suno and other leading APIs.”
Musk did not say how SpaceX would access Suno’s technology.Music Business Worldwide
