  2. Choose to add a remote or custom MCP server.
  3. Enter the server URL: https://mcp.soundcharts.com/mcp
  4. Start the connection.
  5. Sign in to Soundcharts and approve access.

      -d "grant_type=client_credentials" \
      -d "team_id=YOUR_TEAM_NAME_OR_ID"
    
    # Add team_id only when your account has several teams and you need to select one.

      "access_token": "ACCESS_TOKEN",
      "token_type": "bearer",
      "expires_in": 31536000
    }
    
    # MCP access tokens expire after one year. Generate a new token before then.
