• get_job_status: status, artifacts, file links as MCP resources.

• Resources: forge://jobs/<job_id>/{original|final}/<filename> (file bytes).

Project Overview

• MCP Server (mcp_music_forge/): job management, resource provider, and MCP tools.

• HTTP API (api/): POST /download, GET /jobs/{id}, /health, admin interface.

• Providers (providers/): adapters for sources (starting with SoundCloud).

• Transcoder (transcoder/): a wrapper around ffmpeg.

• Storage (storage/): local FS (can be replaced with S3, etc.).

• Queue (core/services/queue.py): ARQ + Redis; a wrapper in workers/.

Documentation

Legal Notes

• SoundCloud provider respects ToU: we only download if the track is downloadable (downloadable/download_url).

• Cookie file support is available, but use it strictly within the service's rules.
