THIRI is to music theory what cURL is to HTTP — the layer so reliable that developers stop thinking about it and just build.
Every music AI app eventually gets a chord wrong and nobody on the team can hear it — THIRI is the engine that guarantees they never ship that moment.
It lets any AI agent comp like a jazz musician — correct voicings, correct spellings, correct reharmonizations — without needing a musician on the engineering team.
Stable Audio built the model, but they still need something to tell the model what Db7 actually is — that's THIRI.
Every music AI company is hand-rolling chord logic in a utils file somewhere — T.H.I.R.I. replaces that file with four endpoints and an MCP server that's already been tested against real charts in real keys.
Four REST endpoints. Bearer auth. Live at api.thiri.ai. Free tier, 30 req/min. Parse any chord, resolve to notes and MIDI, generate voicings, reharmonize progressions.
See the APIMCP server live. Connect Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client to the harmony engine in one config block. Same auth, same endpoints, zero HTTP plumbing.
