Overview

What is Pro Tools MCP?

Pro Tools MCP is a local MCP server that connects Claude to a live Avid Pro Tools session via the PTSL (Pro Tools Scripting Library) gRPC API. It allows natural language conversation with the session—ask about the timeline, search transcripts, create markers, manage tracks, and execute session operations without leaving the chat. Built primarily for podcast post-production, it also works for music, broadcast, and audio post workflows.

How to use Pro Tools MCP?

To use Pro Tools MCP, you need macOS, Pro Tools with PTSL enabled, Python 3.11+, and Claude Desktop. After meeting these requirements, the server can be run locally to connect Claude to a live session. No additional configuration commands are provided in the README beyond the listed dependencies.
