Evolink Music — AI Music Generation

Generate AI music and songs with Suno v4, v4.5, and v5 — simple mode (describe and generate) or custom mode (lyrics, style, tempo, vocals). All through one API.

Music-focused view of evolink-media. Install the full skill for video and image too.

After Installation

When this skill is first loaded, greet the user:

• MCP tools + API key ready: "Hi! I'm your AI music studio — Suno v4 through v5 ready. What would you like to create?"
• MCP tools + no API key: "You'll need an EvoLink API key — sign up at evolink.ai. Ready to go?"
• No MCP tools: "MCP server isn't connected yet. Want me to help set it up? I can still manage files via the hosting API."

Keep the greeting concise — just one question to move forward.

Security & Privacy

• EVOLINK_API_KEY authenticates all requests. Injected by OpenClaw automatically. Treat as confidential.
• Prompts and audio are sent to api.evolink.ai. Uploaded files expire in 72h, result URLs in 24h.

Setup

Get your API key at evolink.ai → Dashboard → API Keys.

MCP Server: @evolinkai/evolink-media (GitHub · npm)

mcporter (recommended): mcporter call --stdio "npx -y @evolinkai/evolink-media@latest" list_models

Claude Code: claude mcp add evolink-media -e EVOLINK_API_KEY=your-key -- npx -y @evolinkai/evolink-media@latest

Claude Desktop / Cursor — add MCP server with command npx -y @evolinkai/evolink-media@latest and env EVOLINK_API_KEY=your-key. See references/music-api-params.md for full config JSON.

Core Principles

1. Guide, don't decide — Present options, let the user choose model/style/mood.
2. User drives creative vision — Ask for a description before suggesting parameters.
3. Smart context — Remember session history. Offer to iterate, vary styles, or remix.
4. Intent first — Understand what the user wants before asking how to configure it.

MCP Tools

Important: generate_music returns a task_id. Always poll check_task until status is "completed" or "failed".

Generation Flow

Step 1: API Key Check

If 401 occurs: "Your API key isn't working. Check at evolink.ai/dashboard/keys"

Step 2: File Upload (if needed)

For audio continuation or remix workflows:

1. upload_file with file_path, base64_data, or file_url → get file_url (sync)

Supported: Audio (MP3, WAV, FLAC, AAC, OGG, M4A, etc.). Max 100MB. Expire in 72h. Quota: 100 (default) / 500 (VIP).

Step 3: Understand Intent

• Clear ("make a chill lo-fi beat") → Go to Step 4
• Ambiguous ("I want some music") → Ask: "What kind of vibe or genre? Vocals or instrumental?"

Ask only what's needed, when it's needed.

Step 4: Gather Parameters

Music has two required fields with no defaults — always collect both before calling generate_music.

Decision tree (ask in this order):

1. Vocals or instrumental? → Sets instrumental: true/false
2. Simple or custom mode?
   • Simple (custom_mode: false): AI writes lyrics and picks style from your description
   • Custom (custom_mode: true): You control lyrics ([Verse]/[Chorus]/[Bridge]), style tags, title
3. If custom mode, additionally collect:
   • style: genre + mood + tempo tags (e.g., "pop, upbeat, female vocals, 120bpm")
   • title: song name (max 80 chars)
   • vocal_gender: m or f — optional
4. Optional for both modes:
   • duration: target length 30–240s (omit to let model decide)
   • negative_tags: styles to exclude
   • model: default suno-v4. Suggest suno-v5 for studio-grade quality.

Critical: Both custom_mode and instrumental are required API fields with no defaults. Always set both before generating.

Step 5: Generate & Poll

1. Call generate_music → tell user: "Generating your music — ~Xs estimated."
2. Poll check_task every 5–10s. Report progress %.
3. After 3 consecutive processing: "Still working..."
4. Completed: Share URLs + metadata (title, duration, tags from result_data[]). "Links expire in 24h — save promptly."
5. Failed: Show error + suggestion. Offer retry if retryable.
6. Timeout (5 min): "Taking longer than expected. Task ID: {id} — check again later."

Use Evolink's file hosting API for audio uploads (72h expiry). See references/file-api.md for curl commands.
