  • FFprobe Fallback: Handles exotic and corrupted formats through FFprobe
  • Game Audio Analysis: Specialized analysis for game development use cases
  • Batch Processing: Analyze entire directories of audio files
  • MCP Integration: Seamless integration with Claude Desktop
  • Cross-Platform: Works on Windows, macOS, and Linux

Installation

npm install -g mcp-audio-inspector

Or use with npx:

npx mcp-audio-inspector
