strudel-mcp-server
An open source MCP server that allows AI-assisted music generation and live coding through Strudel.cc.
The Strudel MCP Server is an experimental Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that enables Claude to directly control Strudel.cc for AI-assisted music generation, live coding, and algorithmic composition. It provides a comprehensive suite of 65 MCP tools for music creation and manipulation, allowing users to automate tasks and enhance their creative processes. While the core features are functional and reliable, the server is still under active development, and users should expect some rough edges as improvements are made.
