What it does

Community MCP server for the Freesound.org API: agents search real recorded sound effects, ambiences, and loops with natural-language queries and get back duration, tags, license info, and preview URLs. For a film pipeline this covers the classic library-pull workflow ('thunder for a storm scene, under 30s') with proper license metadata, complementing generative SFX tools.
