# Shawarma

> Shawarma makes instrumental music from a sentence, then changes only the part you ask for ("busier drums", "less epic") while it plays. Every song is code under the hood, so each change is an edit, not a new roll. Free to start.

AI agents (Claude, ChatGPT, Codex, Cursor) can use it through an MCP server at https://shawarma.studio/mcp: make_song, change_song (only the part you ask for), export_audio (MP3 or WAV), share_song, write_song and more. Setup: https://shawarma.studio/developers. Every tool: https://shawarma.studio/docs/api.
