nolicense-nearby-mcp

MCP server for No License Nearby, an artist-owned sync licensing catalog of 880+ tracks. The artist owns 100% of every master and every publishing share, so one license clears the music.

Let Claude, Cursor or any video and editing agent search the catalog, audition tracks, see live license prices and build a quote, then hand the buyer the pre-filled license page.

Live catalog: https://license.nomusicnearby.com

No API key needed

All tools are read-only and use the public catalog. This MCP never submits license requests and never takes payment: buying happens on the No License Nearby website, where you submit a license request and usage rights activate after payment.

pip install nolicense-nearby-mcp
# or run without installing
