fr fr what is this
an MCP server that connects AI agents to myinstants.com โ 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:
- ๐ search any sound on myinstants
- ๐ด smash that button and play it through your speakers

}
}
}

string | โ | exact slug from search results |
url |
string | โ | direct MP3 URL if you're built different |
wait |
boolean | false |

how it works (for the sigma devs)
agent calls play_sound({ query: "vine boom", wait: false })
โ searches myinstants.com
โ finds the MP3 URL
โ streams it through afplay/ffplay/mpv
โ sound plays through your speakers
โ agent keeps cooking while you hear the boom ๐ณ
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 ๐
drop a .github/copilot-instructions.md in your repo 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.
# in your .github/copilot-instructions.md
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 copilot-instructions.md for the full unhinged setup. your agent will never be an NPC again. ๐
config
env vars
| Variable | Default | The tea โ |
|---|---|---|
MYINSTANTS_VOLUME |
0.5 |
how loud (0-1). crank it bestie. |
MYINSTANTS_WAIT |
false |
"true" = sounds block until finished. dramatic effect mode ๐ญ |
{
"servers": {
"myinstants": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "myinstants-mcp@latest"],
"env": {
"MYINSTANTS_VOLUME": "0.8"
}
}
}
}
audio player support
| Player | Platform | Install | Vibe |
|---|---|---|---|
afplay |
macOS | pre-installed ๐ | just works. zero effort. slay. |
ffplay |
everywhere | brew install ffmpeg / apt install ffmpeg |
the reliable bestie |
mpv |
everywhere | brew install mpv / apt install mpv |
also valid no cap |
auto-detects what you have. tries afplay first on mac, then ffplay, then mpv. fallback chain is bussin.
why tho ๐
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 โ 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 ๐
