Overview

AI-generated overview

A local MCP server that gives an AI assistant a soundboard: it searches myinstants.com and plays meme sounds through the user's speakers.

What you can do
Search myinstants for sounds and browse the 14 categories, including trending and hall-of-fame listings via resources. Play a sound by quick search query, exact slug or direct MP3 URL, optionally blocking until it finishes. Queue multiple sounds so they play one after another without overlap. With details mode enabled, fetch sound details such as views, uploader and duration, and list available audio output devices.
When to use it
Add it when you want an assistant to punctuate coding or chat sessions with meme sounds, or to search and play clips from the myinstants soundboard on demand. It is a novelty audio tool, not a notification or media-production system.
Requirements
Runs locally via npx, so Node.js is needed. Audio playback uses a system player: afplay on macOS, or ffplay or mpv elsewhere (on Linux, ffmpeg is suggested). Optional environment variables: MYINSTANTS_VOLUME, MYINSTANTS_WAIT, MYINSTANTS_DEVICE, MYINSTANTS_PLAYER and MYINSTANTS_DETAILS. Network access to myinstants.com is required.
Before you install
Sounds play audibly through the machine's speakers, which can be disruptive in shared or professional settings. The README suggests prompting agents to play sounds while they work, which can fire unexpectedly. Device selection is platform-specific and unsupported by afplay and the Windows PowerShell player. No credentials are requested.

Installation

In SourceWeft

  1. Open Myinstants Mcp in the dashboard and add it to a workspace.
  2. Enable the server for the chats that should use its tools.

Desktop only via STDIO. STDIO servers start a local process, so they need the SourceWeft desktop host.

Other MCP clients

Follow the launch instructions in the repository.

fr fr what is this

an MCP server that connects AI agents to myinstants.com — the internet's largest soundboard. millions of meme sounds, vine booms, fart noises, anime clips, gaming sfx, whatever you need bestie.

your AI agent can now:

  • 🔍 search any sound on myinstants
  • 🔴 smash that button and play it through your speakers
  • 📂 browse categories — memes, games, movies, reactions, tiktok trends
  • 📈 check what's trending — stay current fr fr
  • ⏳ wait or don't — block until sound finishes or let it play in the background

this is not a notification beep. this is the entire internet soundboard. your agent has rizz now.

the setup is bussin

bash
npx myinstants-mcp

that's it. that's the setup. no cap.

VS Code / GitHub Copilot

Add to your VS Code MCP config (User or .vscode/mcp.json):

json
{  "servers": {    "myinstants": {      "command": "npx",      "args": ["-y", "myinstants-mcp@latest"]    }  }}

Claude Desktop

~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json:

json
{  "mcpServers": {    "myinstants": {      "command": "npx",      "args": ["-y", "myinstants-mcp@latest"]    }  }}

Cursor

.cursor/mcp.json:

json
{  "mcpServers": {    "myinstants": {      "command": "npx",      "args": ["-y", "myinstants-mcp@latest"]    }  }}

[!TIP] works on macOS out of the box (uses native afplay) — no extra installs needed. on linux just sudo apt install ffmpeg. that's it bestie.

how it works (for the sigma devs)

agent calls play_sound({ query: "vine boom", wait: false })  → searches myinstants.com  → finds the MP3 URL  → streams it through afplay/ffplay/mpv  → sound plays through your speakers  → agent keeps cooking while you hear the boom 🍳

sounds queue up automatically. no overlap. your agent can fire multiple sounds and they play one after another. sheesh.

teach your agent to troll you 💀

drop a .instructions.md in your repo (with applyTo: "**" in the frontmatter) and your agent will play sounds while it works. imagine: vine boom when it finds a bug. sad trombone when your tests fail. rick roll mid-code-review for absolutely no reason.

markdown
---name: "Soundboard"description: "Sounds for all contexts"applyTo: "**"---
Play sounds using the myinstants MCP server while you work:- Play `play_sound(query: "vine boom sound")` when you find cursed code- Play `play_sound(query: "sad trombone")` when the user's code doesn't work- Play `play_sound(query: "minecraft level up sound")` when you fix something

check our myinstants.instructions.md for the full unhinged setup. your agent will never be an NPC again. 🏆

env vars

VariableDefaultThe tea ☕
MYINSTANTS_VOLUME0.5how loud (0-1). crank it bestie.
MYINSTANTS_WAITfalse"true" = sounds block until finished. dramatic effect mode 🎭
MYINSTANTS_DEVICE(system default)route audio to a specific output device. platform-specific device name.
MYINSTANTS_PLAYER(auto)force a specific player: ffplay, mpv, afplay, or paplay.
MYINSTANTS_DETAILSfalse"true" = enables get_sound_details and list_devices tools.
json
{  "servers": {    "myinstants": {      "command": "npx",      "args": ["-y", "myinstants-mcp@latest"],      "env": {        "MYINSTANTS_VOLUME": "0.8",        "MYINSTANTS_DEVICE": "Denon AVR-S760H",        "MYINSTANTS_DETAILS": "true"      }    }  }}

audio device selection

route sounds to a specific output device instead of system default:

bash
# set device name (platform-specific)export MYINSTANTS_DEVICE="Denon AVR-S760H"
# force a specific player (optional)export MYINSTANTS_PLAYER="ffplay"
# enable device listing toolexport MYINSTANTS_DETAILS="true"

discover available devices:

bash
# macOSffmpeg -f avfoundation -list_devices true -i "" 2>&1
# Linux (PulseAudio)pactl list short sinks
# mpv (cross-platform)mpv --audio-device=help

or use the list_devices tool when MYINSTANTS_DETAILS=true — your agent can discover devices for you. 💅

player support:

PlayerDevice FlagExample
ffplay-audio_deviceffplay -audio_device "Denon AVR-S760H"
mpv--audio-device=mpv --audio-device="pulse/alsa_output.usb"
paplay--device=paplay --device=bluez_sink.XX
afplay❌ N/AmacOS system default only (no device selection)

notes:

  • default behavior unchanged — uses system default output if MYINSTANTS_DEVICE not set
  • afplay on macOS doesn't support device selection — set MYINSTANTS_PLAYER=ffplay or mpv if you need device control
  • device names are platform-specific (see discovery commands above)
  • Windows PowerShell player doesn't support device selection — install ffmpeg or mpv for device support

audio player support

PlayerPlatformInstallVibe
afplaymacOSpre-installed 💅just works. zero effort. slay.
ffplayeverywherebrew install ffmpeg / apt install ffmpegthe reliable bestie
mpveverywherebrew install mpv / apt install mpvalso valid no cap

auto-detects what you have. tries afplay first on mac, then ffplay, then mpv. fallback chain is bussin.

why tho 💀

because your AI agent should be able to hit you with a vine boom when the code compiles. because sad trombone when tests fail is objectively correct. because the bruh button exists and your agent deserves to press it. this is not delulu — this is the future.

every other MCP sound server plays one notification beep. one beep. that's giving NPC energy. we have millions of sounds. the entire internet soundboard. main character behavior only.

it's giving... open source 💅
