🛠️ MCP Tools

`analyze_audio`

Advanced audio feature extraction and analysis

# Extract 50+ audio features
features = analyze_audio(audio_file, features=["rms", "spectral", "harmonic"])

`export_visualization`

🆕 Professional audio visualization export with multiple formats

# Generate waveforms, spectrograms, genre/quality charts
viz = export_visualization(
    audio_file,
    viz_type="spectrogram",
    format="png",
    color_scheme="cool"
)
# Returns base64-encoded image data

`classify_genre`

AI-powered genre classification with confidence scoring

genre = classify_genre(audio_features)  # Returns: {"genre": "electronic", "confidence": 0.87}

`assess_quality`

Audio quality assessment for mixing and mastering

quality = assess_quality(audio_features)  # Returns: {"overall": 75.0, "clarity": 70.0}

`suggest_mixing`

AI-driven mixing suggestions based on analysis

suggestions = suggest_mixing(audio_features, genre, quality)

`learn_midi_mapping`

Intelligent MIDI controller mapping and learning

mapping = learn_midi_mapping(controller_id, parameters, context)

`optimize_device`

optimization = optimize_device(device_id, usage_context, performance_data)

🚀 Quick Start

Installation

# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/your-org/audio-agent-mcp.git
cd audio-agent-mcp

# Install dependencies
pip install -r requirements.txt

# Run tests to verify installation
pytest tests/ -v

🔐 API Key Setup (Required)

All MCP server operations now require API key authentication for security.

1. Generate API Key

# Generate a secure API key
python generate_api_key.py --output-file .env.local

# Or generate for production
python generate_api_key.py --length 64 --output-file .env.production

2. Set Environment Variable

# Set for current terminal session
export MCP_API_KEY="your-generated-api-key-here"

# Or add to your shell profile (~/.bashrc, ~/.zshrc)
echo 'export MCP_API_KEY="your-generated-api-key-here"' >> ~/.bashrc
source ~/.bashrc

3. Verify API Key

# Test the API key
curl -H "Authorization: Bearer $MCP_API_KEY" \
     -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
     -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"tools/list"}' \
     https://audio-agent-mcp.bretbouchard.dev/mcp

Security Note: Never commit API keys to version control. Use .env.local for development and environment variables in production.

Usage with ChatGPT

Connect the real MCP server to ChatGPT for instant audio analysis:

Example: Analyze any audio file

# ChatGPT can now call:
features = analyze_audio("music_file.wav")

# Returns real analysis results:
{
  "duration": 3.45,
  "tempo": 128.5,
  "key": "C major",
  "genre": {"genre": "electronic", "confidence": 0.87},
  "quality": {"overall": 75.2, "clarity": 80.1}
}

Example: Optimize your audio setup

# ChatGPT can optimize your hardware:
optimization = optimize_device(
  device_id="focusrite_scarlett",
  device_type="audio_interface",
  usage_context="recording"
)

# Returns real optimization settings:
{
  "buffer_size": 128,
  "sample_rate": 48000,
  "performance_improvements": {
    "latency_reduction": "50%",
    "cpu_usage": "20% lower"
  }
}
