Project description

openDAW MCP

298 MCP tools for agent-native control of openDAW — a browser-based digital audio workstation.

This project wraps openDAW's internal box system and project API behind a Model Context Protocol server, allowing AI agents (Claude, GPT, Hermes, etc.) to create and manipulate music projects programmatically — tracks, instruments, effects, MIDI, automation, audio regions, rendering, and more.

⭐ Star this repo if it's useful — it helps others discover it!

Quick numbers


298 MCP tools	70 Python examples (8 genre templates)
43 DSP scripts	10 agent skills
3 framework wrappers	232 unit + 21 E2E tests

30-second demo

from opendaw_mcp.server import OpendawServer

server = OpendawServer()
await server.bridge.start()

# Full drum beat in one call (kick|snare|hihat, 16 steps each)
await server.mcp_opendaw_create_drum_pattern(
    pattern="x...x...x...x...|o.......o.....o.|..x...x...x...x.", unit_index=0
)

# Synth + reverb
await server.mcp_opendaw_create_synth_track(name="Lead")

Why opendaw-mcp?

The only MCP server that gives an AI agent full DAW control — not just file conversion or playback.

Feature	opendaw-mcp	Other audio MCPs
Full DAW control (298 tools)	✅	❌ (1-10 tools)
Scriptable DSP (write custom JS effects)	✅	❌
SOTA stem separation (7 models, GPU local)	✅	❌
Suno → DAW E2E pipeline	✅	❌
Genre templates (8 genres)	✅	❌
Agent skills with decision points	✅ (10 skills)	❌

Unique workflow: Suno generates → SOTA stem split → openDAW import → mix/master → export. No other tool does this.

How It Works

AI Agent ──MCP──▶ Python Server ──Playwright──▶ Headless Chromium ──▶ openDAW (Vite dev server)

The MCP server launches a headless Chromium instance loaded with openDAW, then communicates via page.evaluate() calls into the DAW's V8 context. Every tool performs real operations on the live project — no stubs, no mocks.

Agent Skills

The skills/ directory contains structured skill files for AI agents (Hermes, Claude, etc.) that describe how to use the 298 MCP tools effectively. Each skill covers a specific domain and includes decision points so the agent can adapt to any genre or workflow.

Skill	Domain	Description
`adaptive-mix-mastering`	Mix → Master pipeline	Universal pipeline with decision points: genre detection, stem strategy, effect chain selection, LUFS targeting, mastering approach. Adapts to coldwave, techno, hip-hop, ambient, rock, pop. Includes `references/decision-tree.md`.
`suno-to-opendaw`	Suno → openDAW E2E	Killer workflow: Suno AI generation → SOTA stem separation (7 modes) → openDAW import → arrange → mix → master → export. 6-stage pipeline from prompt to finished track. Unique value prop — no other MCP server offers this.
`dsp-script-authoring`	Custom DSP writing	How to author custom Werkstatt/Apparat/Spielwerk DSP scripts. Processor API, @param/@sample declarations, DSP patterns (filters, saturation, reverb, LFO, envelope), validation workflow, 8 critical pitfalls. For writing new DSP, not using existing.
`opendaw-automation`	API reference	298 MCP tools full reference, bridge architecture, pitfalls, DSP script library (33 scripts), CodeRabbit review patterns. The base skill — others cross-reference it.
`opendaw-track-architecture`	Track structure	Tracks, regions, clips, notes, tempo, time signature, markers, groove, song form. 50+ tools for building the skeleton of a track.
`opendaw-sound-design`	Instruments + DSP	Built-in instruments (Vaporisateur, Playfield, Nano, Tape, Soundfont) + 33 scriptable DSP scripts (Werkstatt/Apparat/Spielwerk) with full API reference and choosing guide.
`opendaw-genres`	Genre templates	Concrete parameters per genre — BPM, track layout, drum patterns, bass lines, chords, effect chains, pan, LUFS targets. 8 genres: techno, coldwave, hip-hop, ambient, DnB, house, lofi, trap. Not theory — actual tool calls and values.
`opendaw-effect-routing`	Effects + routing	Effect chains, sends/returns, sidechain, buses, mixing, mastering chain, render/export. How to route audio and deliver final output.
`opendaw-composition-patterns`	Composition	When and how to use 26 orchestration tools. Decision tree by musical goal, genre-specific recipes, parameter guidelines, pitfalls. Hip-hop/house/jazz/DnB/ambient/expressive MIDI workflows.

Using skills with Hermes

# Skills are auto-discovered from ~/.hermes/profiles/*/skills/
# Copy to your profile:
cp -r skills/adaptive-mix-mastering ~/.hermes/profiles/your-profile/skills/creative/

Using skills with other agents

The SKILL.md files are standard markdown with YAML frontmatter. Any agent that supports skill loading can use them. The decision points and tool references are agent-agnostic.

Suno Integration

opendaw-mcp connects with Suno for AI music generation. The flagship suno_generate_to_opendaw.py example demonstrates the full pipeline: Suno generation → download → openDAW import → mastering → render.

Getting Suno API access: Join the Suno Discord to get chirp API access. Without it, generation won't work — this is required for all Suno-based workflows.

Pipeline examples:

suno_generate_to_opendaw.py — Suno generation → openDAW mastering (flagship)
suno_to_opendaw.py — Import existing Suno track → enhance with DSP
suno_stems_to_opendaw.py — Stem split → per-stem mix → render

Quick Start

📚 Full documentation: https://ameobius.github.io/opendaw-mcp/

Prerequisites

Python 3.11+
Node.js 20+ (for openDAW dev server)
Chromium (Playwright will install it)

Install

From PyPI:

pip install opendaw-mcp
playwright install chromium

From source:

git clone https://github.com/ameobius/opendaw-mcp.git
cd opendaw-mcp
python -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements.txt
playwright install chromium

Set Up openDAW

Clone and build openDAW separately:

git clone https://github.com/andremichelle/openDAW.git
cd openDAW
npm install
npm run build   # or: npx turbo run build

Create a headless host page (see headless-daw/ for reference implementation).

Run

# Terminal 1: Start openDAW dev server
cd openDAW
npm run dev     # typically serves on http://localhost:5174

# Terminal 2: Start MCP server (stdio transport, default)
cd opendaw-mcp
source venv/bin/activate
python server.py

SSE Transport

For remote deployments and registry introspection (e.g. Glama):

MCP_TRANSPORT=sse FASTMCP_HOST=0.0.0.0 FASTMCP_PORT=8080 python server.py

CLI

python server.py --help        # show usage and env vars
python server.py --version     # print version and tool count
python server.py --list-tools  # list all 258 registered MCP tools

Docker

# Pull pre-built image from GitHub Container Registry
docker pull ghcr.io/ameobius/opendaw-mcp:1.14.1
docker run -p 8080:8080 ghcr.io/ameobius/opendaw-mcp:1.14.1
# MCP server available at http://localhost:8080/sse

# Or build from source
docker build -t opendaw-mcp .
docker run -p 8080:8080 opendaw-mcp

The Docker image bundles openDAW (built from source), Vite dev server, Chromium, and the MCP server. The entrypoint starts Vite, waits for it to be ready, then launches the MCP server in SSE mode.

Environment Variables

Variable	Default	Description
`OPENDAW_HOST_DIR`	`../headless-daw`	Path to the headless openDAW host directory
`OPENDAW_URL`	`http://localhost:5174`	URL of the running openDAW instance
`OPENDAW_EXPORT_DIR`	`../exports`	Directory for rendered audio exports
`NODE_BIN_DIR`	(from PATH)	Path to Node.js binary directory (if not on PATH)
`MCP_TRANSPORT`	`stdio`	Transport protocol: `stdio` or `sse`
`FASTMCP_HOST`	`127.0.0.1`	SSE server bind host
`FASTMCP_PORT`	`8000`	SSE server bind port

Architecture

HeadlessDawBridge

The HeadlessDawBridge class manages the Playwright lifecycle:

Launches headless Chromium with audio autoplay enabled
Navigates to the openDAW URL
Waits for window.DAW and factory globals to load
Injects DAW_HELPERS — JS utility functions that eliminate boilerplate across tools

DAW_HELPERS

JavaScript helpers injected into the DAW context:

au(i) — get audio unit adapter by index
track(auIdx, trackIdx) — get track adapter
region(au, track, reg) — get region adapter
instrumentAU() — get the first instrument audio unit
modify(fn) — wrapper around editing.modify() for box mutations
allAUs() — list all audio unit adapters

Tool Structure

Each MCP tool follows the pattern:

@mcp.tool()
async def tool_name(param: str) -> str:
    """Description."""
    async def _run():
        result = await bridge.page.evaluate("""...JS...""")
        return json.dumps(result)
    return await bridge.run(_run)

The bridge is a singleton — state persists within a single Python process. All box mutations go through editing.modify() as required by openDAW's transactional model.

Input Sanitization

All string parameters that are interpolated into JavaScript template literals are sanitized before evaluation — quotes, backslashes, and braces are stripped to prevent JS injection. Numeric parameters use proper int/float type annotations for FastMCP type coercion.

from langchain_openai import ChatOpenAI

llm = ChatOpenAI(model="gpt-4o-mini")
agent = create_react_agent(llm, tools, prompt)
executor = AgentExecutor(agent=agent, tools=tools, verbose=True)

executor.invoke({"input": "Create a dark techno track at 130 BPM and render it"})

See examples/langchain_integration.py for a full demo.

AutoGen

from opendaw_mcp.autogen_tools import get_autogen_tools

tools = get_autogen_tools()  # or filter: get_autogen_tools(categories=["transport", "orchestration"])

from autogen import AssistantAgent, UserProxyAgent

assistant = AssistantAgent("producer", llm_config=llm_config, tools=tools,
    system_message="You are a music producer. Use opendaw tools to create, mix, and render music.")
user = UserProxyAgent("user", human_input_mode="NEVER")
user.initiate_chat(assistant, message="Create a dark techno track at 130 BPM and render it")

See examples/autogen_integration.py for a full demo.

CrewAI

from opendaw_mcp.crewai_tools import get_crewai_tools

tools = get_crewai_tools()

from crewai import Agent, Task, Crew, LLM

llm = LLM(model="gpt-4o-mini")
producer = Agent(role="Music Producer", goal="Create and mix tracks", backstory="Expert producer", tools=tools, llm=llm)
task = Task(description="Create a dark techno track at 130 BPM and render it", agent=producer, expected_output="WAV file")
crew = Crew(agents=[producer], tasks=[task])
result = crew.kickoff()

See examples/crewai_integration.py for a full demo.

Tool Catalog

See TOOL_CATALOG.md for the complete list of 298 tools with parameters and descriptions.

Orchestration Tools

High-level composers that combine multiple low-level operations into a single call — designed for agents to reduce token usage and round-trips:

Tool	Replaces	Example
`create_notes_batch`	10-50 × `create_note`	`'[{"pitch":60,"start":0,"duration":0.5},...]'`
`create_drum_pattern`	10-20 × `create_note`	`'{"kick":"x...x...","hihat":"....o..."}'`
`create_chord_progression`	15-50 × `create_note`	`'[["C","min7"],["F","dom7"]]'`
`add_mastering_chain`	3 × `add_effect` + 10 × `set_param`	`style="warm", target_lufs=-14`
`create_genre_track`	20-40 low-level calls	`genre="lofi"` → synth + drums + bass + chords

Mastering

The MCP server includes a full mastering chain for streaming-ready output:

Render — render_full (full mixdown) or export_stems (per-track stems)
Measure LUFS — measure_lufs (ITU-R BS.1770-4 K-weighting, gated mean squares)
Auto-gain — auto_gain (iterative: render → measure → adjust Maximizer threshold + output volume → re-render, converges ±1 LUFS)

# Render full mix
await server.mcp_opendaw_render_full("my_mix", 48000)

# Measure loudness
lufs = json.loads(await server.mcp_opendaw_measure_lufs("my_mix"))
# → {"lufs_integrated": -18.3, "true_peak_db": -3.71, ...}

# Auto-gain to Spotify target (-14 LUFS)
result = json.loads(await server.mcp_opendaw_auto_gain("-14", "mastered", 48000, "3"))
# → converges to -13.7 LUFS in 3 iterations

Platform targets: Spotify/YouTube -14 LUFS, Apple Music -16 LUFS, Tidal -14 LUFS.

Limitations

Headless only — some UI-dependent features (file dialogs, popup-based model loading) are not available
Single process — bridge state doesn't persist across Python process restarts
Upstream coupling — tools depend on openDAW's internal box system, which can change between versions
AU rename — requires adapter context not available in headless mode
