Installation

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/Here-and-Tomorrow-LLC/audio-player-mcp.git
   

2. Navigate to the repository directory:

   cd audio-player-mcp
   

3. Install the package in editable mode:

Setup with Claude Desktop

1. Open Claude Desktop settings and navigate to:
   Developer > Edit Config

2. Locate your configuration file:

   • Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
   • Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json

3. Add the following configuration based on your operating system:

   Mac/Linux:

   {
     "mcpServers": {
       "audio-player": {
         "command": "/path/to/your/venv/bin/python",
         "args": [
           "/path/to/your/audio-player-mcp/src/audio_player_mcp/player.py"
         ],
         "env": {
           "AUDIO_PLAYER_DIR": "/path/to/your/audio/files"
         }
       }
     }
   }
   

   Windows:

   {
     "mcpServers": {
       "audio-player": {
         "command": "C:\path\to\your\venv\Scripts\python.exe",
         "args": [
           "C:\path\to\your\audio-player-mcp\src\audio_player_mcp\player.py"
         ],
         "env": {
           "AUDIO_PLAYER_DIR": "C:\path\to\your\audio\files"
         }
       }
     }
   }
   

   Note: If AUDIO_PLAYER_DIR is not set, the server will default to using the Music folder in your home directory.

4. Restart Claude Desktop.

Usage

You can now control audio playback by asking Claude:

• "What audio files do I have?"
• "Play song.mp3."
• "Stop the music."

Troubleshooting

If something isn't working, check Claude's logs:

• Mac:

  tail -f ~/Library/Logs/Claude/mcp*.log
  

• Windows:

  type "%APPDATA%\Claude\logs\mcp*.log"
  

Development

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/yourusername/audio-player-mcp.git
   

2. Navigate to the repository directory:

   cd audio-player-mcp
   

3. Install development dependencies:

   pip install -e ".[dev]"
   

4. Run the MCP server in development mode:

   mcp dev src/audio_player_mcp/player.py
