### Description (declared)

# AudioGen MCP Server

[![PyPI version](https://badge.fury.io/py/audiogen-mcp.svg)](https://badge.fury.io/py/audiogen-mcp)
[![License: MIT](https://img.shields.io/badge/License-MIT-yellow.svg)](https://opensource.org/licenses/MIT)

An MCP server that generates sound effects from text descriptions using Meta's AudioGen model. Designed for Apple Silicon Macs.

## Prerequisites

- macOS with Apple Silicon (M1/M2/M3/M4)
- Python 3.9-3.11 (3.12+ not yet supported by audiocraft)
- ffmpeg: `brew install ffmpeg`
- ~4GB disk space for model weights
- ~8GB RAM recommended

## Installation

Due to audiocraft's complex dependencies (xformers doesn't build on Apple Silicon), installation requires a specific order:

```bash
# Create virtual environment with Python 3.11
uv venv ~/.audiogen-env --python 3.11
source ~/.audiogen-env/bin/activate

# Install audiocraft without its problematic dependencies
uv pip install audiocraft --no-deps

# Install the actual dependencies (skipping xformers)
uv pip install torch torchaudio transformers huggingface_hub encodec einops \
    flashy num2words sentencepiece librosa av julius spacy torchmetrics \
    hydra-core hydra-colorlog demucs lameenc

# Install audiogen-mcp
uv pip install audiogen-mcp
```

The first run will download the AudioGen model (~2GB).

## Configure Claude Code

```bash
claude mcp add audiogen ~/.audiogen-env/bin/python -- -m audiogen_mcp.server
```

Or add to `~/.config/claude/claude_desktop_config.json`:

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "audiogen": {
      "command": "/Users/YOUR_USERNAME/.audiogen-env/bin/python",
      "args": ["-m", "audiogen_mcp.server"]
    }
  }
}
```
