Use Suno V4.5 from Claude Code

Suno V4.5 is an older flagship in the Suno line. Still available on AetherWave at the same submission price. Best for users with established V4.5 workflows or specific aesthetic preferences.

If you use Claude Code and you want Suno V4.5 available as a native tool that the agent can call directly, the AetherWave MCP server wires it up in one command. No SDK to learn, no separate API key per provider, no polling loop to write.

Quick facts

How to use it

Once the MCP is installed, you can ask Claude Code naturally. It'll pick Suno V4.5 from the model-selection rubric in the tool description when your prompt matches its strengths (Suno V4.5 music generation).

Example interaction:

Claude Code calls aetherwave_generate_music with model: "V4_5" and returns the finished asset URL. The result auto-saves to your AetherWave gallery (Cloudflare R2 hosted, no URL expiration).
