Built with [FastMCP](https://github.com/jlowin/fastmcp) and [python-reapy](https://github.com/RomeoDespres/reapy), this server enables AI assistants and automation tools to interact with REAPER projects.

- **Playback Control** - Start, pause, stop, record, cursor and time selection management
- **Markers & Regions** - Add, list, and manage markers and regions
- **Track Operations** - Create, delete, configure tracks (volume, pan, mute, solo, color, selection)
- **Tempo Control** - Get/set project BPM
- **MIDI** - Generate and import MIDI notes, patterns, and files
- **FX & Plugins** - List, add, and control VST plugins and parameters
