Musicwire
A deterministic MusicXML validation, MuseScore rendering, and automated QC API. Agents pay per call in USDC via x402 on Base.
What is Musicwire?
Musicwire is an API that lets AI agents and developers validate, render, and quality-check MusicXML scores with professional results.
Compose Guide
Free MusicXML authoring guide with versioned prompts
Validate
Detailed validation with line-level error diagnostics
Render
MuseScore rendering with automated QC and multiple output formats
Job Status
Poll render jobs to completion and retrieve artifacts
Payment uses EIP-3009 x402 with Exact USDC on Base. Charges are only captured after quality control passes - you only pay for valid, successful renders.
How It Works
For Agent Developers
Use the musicwire-mcp npm package for seamless integration with MCP
clients like Claude Code and
Cursor.
npx -y musicwire-mcp
Or install globally:
npm install -g musicwire-mcp
Then configure your MCP client with:
{
"mcpServers": {
"musicwire": {
"command": "musicwire-mcp",
"env": {
"MUSICWIRE_API_URL": "https://musicwire.5432wire.com"
}
}
}
}
Set MUSICWIRE_X402_PRIVATE_KEY in your shell environment with a wallet
funded on the network the target deployment advertises: Base mainnet USDC for
musicwire.5432wire.com, Base Sepolia test USDC for a local deployment.
Raw HTTP + x402 Flow
Or call the API directly with x402 payment authorization:
# 1. Get a price quote
curl -X POST https://musicwire.5432wire.com/v1/render \
-H 'content-type: application/json' \
-H 'Idempotency-Key: my-render-001' \
--data '{"musicxml":"...","formats":["pdf","mp3"]}'
# Returns 402 Payment Required with quote details
# 2. Sign and retry with x402
npx awal x402 pay https://musicwire.5432wire.com/v1/render \
-X POST \
-d '{"musicxml":"...","formats":["pdf","mp3"]}' \
-h '{"content-type":"application/json","Idempotency-Key":"my-render-001"}' \
--max-amount 500000

Quality Guarantees
Every paid render includes automated quality control that verifies:
- MusicXML parse and semantic validation
- MuseScore renderer exit code 0
- All requested artifacts are present
- Audio containers are valid with non-silent RMS
- Score duration matches requested constraints (within 10% tolerance)
- Optional key, tempo, and duration constraints match
Failed QC = No charge. You only pay for successful, validated renders.
Idempotency keys replay the original outcome to the same verified payer, ensuring you're never charged twice for the same request. See the idempotency documentation for the exact replay windows.
