README

Reaper MCP Server

This is a simple MCP server that connects a Reaper project to an MCP client like Claude Desktop and enables you to ask questions about the project.

Tools

  • find_reaper_projects: Finds all Reaper projects in the directory you specified in the config.
  • parse_reaper_project: Parses a Reaper project and returns a JSON object.

These tools work in tandem. When you ask Claude a question about a specific Reaper project, it will use the find_reaper_projects tool to find the project, then use the parse_reaper_project tool to parse the project and answer your question. To see all data that is parsed from the project, check out the src/domains/reaper_dataclasses.py file.

Setup

  1. Install Dependencies

    uv venv
source .venv/bin/activate

uv pip install .

  2. Configure Claude Desktop

    • Follow the instructions to configure Claude Desktop for use with a custom MCP server
    • Find the sample config in setup/claude_desktop_config.json
    • Update the following paths in the config:
      • Your uv installation path
      • Your Reaper project directory
      • This server's directory

  3. Launch and Configure

    • Open Claude Desktop
    • Look for the hammer icon in the bottom right of your chat box
    • Click the hammer icon to verify you see two Reaper tools available:
