# Epidemic Sound (epidemic-sound)
Epidemic Sound is a Stockholm-based royalty-free music and sound effects licensing platform for video creators, businesses, and platforms. The catalog includes 55,000+ tracks across 390 genres, 250,000+ sound effects, stems and instrumental versions, all under an all-inclusive license that covers mechanical, sync, and public performance rights globally. The Partner Content API ("Epidemic Sound Connect") exposes the full catalog and Epidemic Sound's AI-powered soundtracking tools — Soundmatch (video-to-music recommendation), semantic search, similar-track and similar-section lookup, image-based matching, beat detection, HLS streaming previews, AI voiceover generation, and the new track-versions endpoint that adapts a recording to a target duration while preserving musical structure. An official Model Context Protocol (MCP) server (beta) makes the same catalog and tools available to AI agents at https://www.epidemicsound.com/a/mcp-service/mcp. Access to the Partner API is gated behind a partnership agreement; once signed, partner engineers receive credentials via the Developer Portal and authenticate using API Key, Partner Token, or Epidemic Sound Connect (OAuth 2.0).

### Epidemic Sound Partner Content API
Single REST API exposing the entire Epidemic Sound catalog — tracks, collections, moods, genres, sound effects, stems, beats, HLS previews, similar-track/section search, image-based and video-based matching, track-versions generation (beta), AI voiceovers (via the MCP tools), partner audio/image uploads, usage reporting, and safelisting licenses for end-user channels. Authenticates with ApiKey (`x-api-key`), Partner Token (bearer), or Epidemic Sound Connect OAuth (user-scoped). Versioned with `/v0/` path prefix. Hosted in Europe; audio delivered via Fastly's global CDN. No local caching of metadata or collections is permitted by the partner terms.
