# How to Create Background Music with Claude

Claude turns background music creation into an iterative creative session in your terminal. Describe the mood and energy level, generate the track, and refine the composition through conversational dialogue. Claude can produce several variations and help you select the best fit, making the creative process collaborative rather than one-shot.

## Setup

claude mcp add toolrouter -- npx -y toolrouter-mcp

## Steps

1. Connect ToolRouter: claude mcp add toolrouter -- npx -y toolrouter-mcp
2. Ask Claude: "Generate a 2-minute background music track for a product demo video using music-generator"
3. Claude calls generate_music with your specifications and returns the audio file
4. Request: "Make it more upbeat" or "Add more piano" to iterate on the result
5. Download the track and drop it into your video editor

## Example Prompt

```
Generate a 90-second background music track for a tech product demo. Modern, upbeat, electronic with a clean feel. No vocals.
```

## Tips

- Describe the mood and energy level rather than specific musical terms for best results
- Ask Claude to generate a few variations so you can pick the best fit
- Specify the exact duration to match your video timeline
