From the repository

Install REAPER, Python 3.7+, and the required packages (python-reapy, mcp[cli]). Enable the Python extension and the reapy remote API in REAPER. Start the MCP server with python src/run_mcp_server.py or test via test_mcp.bat. Configure an MCP client (e.g., Claude Desktop) with the command python <path>\src\run_mcp_server.py.

Claude Desktop / Cursor

Paste into your MCP client config file to install this server.

Reaper and MCP or AI integration

A Python application for controlling REAPER Digital Audio Workstation (DAW) using the MCP(Model context protocol).

Features

- Track management (create, rename, color) - FX management (add, remove, parameter control) - Project tempo control - Region and marker management - Master track control - MCP (Message Control Protocol) integration for remote control

Requirements

- Python 3.7+ - REAPER DAW - python-reapy Python module - mcp[cli] package for MCP server

Installation

1. Install REAPER if you haven't already 2. Install the required Python packages: ``

bash
   pip install -r requirements.txt


3. Enable python in REAPER:
4. Enable reapy server via REAPER scripting
