Overview

Description from the maker (original English)

Give your AI agent a soundboard. Millions of meme sounds from myinstants.com.

PopNx MCP’s three pillars

These three are never merged into one score: opinions, measurements and popularity are different things.

What you can do with it

We have not written a plain-language summary for this one yet. Below are the facts we read from the registry.

  • Connection: Runs on your computer
  • Transport: stdio
  • Category: Other

Install

Pick the AI app you use, then copy the settings.

Before you install

  • Basic checks: 1 of 1 passed
  • Runs on your computer with your user’s permissions (files, network, apps).
  • You fill in yourself: MYINSTANTS_VOLUME, MYINSTANTS_WAIT

You need

  • npmNode.js installed (for the npx command)

Which app do you use?

Pick your app above. We remember it, so next time the button says “Install in …”.

Open Claude Desktop → Settings → Developer → Edit Config, and paste this into claude_desktop_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "myinstants": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "myinstants-mcp"
      ],
      "env": {
        "MYINSTANTS_VOLUME": "your-value",
        "MYINSTANTS_WAIT": "your-value"
      }
    }
  }
}

Run this in your terminal

claude mcp add myinstants --env MYINSTANTS_VOLUME=your-value --env MYINSTANTS_WAIT=your-value -- npx -y myinstants-mcp

Fill in the empty values before running it.

Open in Cursor

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .cursor/mcp.json in your project, or ~/.cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "myinstants": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "myinstants-mcp"
      ],
      "env": {
        "MYINSTANTS_VOLUME": "your-value",
        "MYINSTANTS_WAIT": "your-value"
      }
    }
  }
}

Your browser asks to open the app, then the app shows the settings and asks you to confirm. Key values are left empty for you to fill in.

Open in VS Code

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .vscode/mcp.json in your project

{
  "servers": {
    "myinstants": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "myinstants-mcp"
      ],
      "env": {
        "MYINSTANTS_VOLUME": "your-value",
        "MYINSTANTS_WAIT": "your-value"
      }
    }
  }
}

Your browser asks to open the app, then the app shows the settings and asks you to confirm. Key values are left empty for you to fill in.

This one runs on your computer, and ChatGPT can only connect to servers on the internet. Pick another app.

Your choice stays on this device in a cookie; no account needed.

Values you fill in

  • MYINSTANTS_VOLUME env
    Volume level from 0 to 1
  • MYINSTANTS_WAIT env
    Whether to wait for sounds to finish playing before returning (true/false)

These settings are generated from the maker’s registry entry. If the README says otherwise, follow the README.

Common questions

Is Myinstants safe?

It passed 1 of 1 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.

What keys or codes does it need?

The registry does not list a required key, though some servers ask you to sign in on first use.

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

It runs on your computer. Your AI app starts it when needed, and data does not pass through the maker’s servers (unless it calls an online service itself).

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (1.8.2) reached the registry 9 months ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. You also need Node.js on your computer.

What can I use instead?

🔴 myinstants-mcp

give your AI agent a soundboard. no cap.

millions of sound buttons · zero config · just vibes ✨

Quick Start:


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

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):

{

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

Claude Desktop

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

{

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

Cursor

.cursor/mcp.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.

---

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. 🏆

audio device selection

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

# set device name (platform-specific)

export MYINSTANTS_DEVICE="Denon AVR-S760H"

force a specific player (optional)

export MYINSTANTS_PLAYER="ffplay"

enable device listing tool

export MYINSTANTS_DETAILS="true"

discover available devices:

# macOS

ffmpeg -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 💅
