Overview

What is AudacityMCP?

AudacityMCP connects any MCP-compatible AI assistant to Audacity, giving it full control over audio editing through 131 tools covering effects, cleanup, mastering, transcription, and more. Everything runs locally through Audacity's named pipe interface—no cloud, no API keys for audio processing. Works with Audacity 3.x only.

How to use AudacityMCP?

Download or clone the repository, then run the installer (install.bat on Windows, bash install.sh on macOS/Linux) to install audacity-mcp from PyPI, enable mod-script-pipe, and configure Claude Desktop automatically. For other MCP clients, install manually with pip install audacity-mcp and add to your client's MCP config. Audacity must be open first.

Key features of AudacityMCP

  • 131 tools across 11 categories (effects, editing, cleanup, mastering, transcription, etc.)
  • 9 one-click pipelines for common audio tasks (podcast, music mastering, interview, etc.)
  • Local transcription via faster-whisper—audio never leaves your machine
  • Works with any MCP-compatible client (Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, etc.)
  • Pipelines are safe—they only reduce peaks, never boost loudness

Use cases of AudacityMCP

  • Podcasters wanting consistent professional sound without audio engineering knowledge
  • Musicians needing quick genre-tuned mastering
  • Content creators cleaning up interviews, voiceovers, or field recordings
  • Anyone who prefers describing audio edits in plain English over clicking through menus

Frequently asked questions

1

Which Audacity versions are supported?

AudacityMCP currently works with Audacity 3.x only. Audacity 4.x is not yet supported.

2

Does AudacityMCP send my audio to the cloud?

No. All audio processing runs locally through Audacity's named pipe interface. No cloud, no API keys are needed for audio processing.

3

How do pipelines handle loudness?

Pipelines only reduce peaks if they are too hot; they never boost loudness. After a pipeline, you can ask the AI to run `loudness_normalize` to hit a specific LUFS target (e.g., -14 for Spotify).

4

How do I set up local transcription?

Local transcription is experimental and requires separate setup. Powered by faster-whisper, it runs entirely offline with 5 model sizes and supports multiple export formats (SRT, VTT, TXT). See the installation guide for detailed setup.

5

Do I need to have Audacity open before using AudacityMCP?

Yes. AudacityMCP communicates through Audacity's named pipe—it cannot launch Audacity for you.
