Configuration

View docs

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "vinayak-mehta-mcp-sonic-pi": {
      "command": "/path/to/uvx",
      "args": [
        "mcp-sonic-pi"
      ]
    }
  }
}

You can connect MCP clients to Sonic Pi to generate music using natural language commands. This MCP server handles the communication layer so your client can send instructions to Sonic Pi without writing low-level code.

How to use

Start the Sonic Pi MCP server from the command line to enable client access. Run the following to launch the server through your MCP launcher: uvx mcp-sonic-pi.

When you want to integrate with Claude, add the following configuration entry to your Claude desktop setup so the MCP server is available as a named integration. Use the exact JSON snippet shown here to configure the server:
```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "sonic-pi": {
      "args": [
        "mcp-sonic-pi"
      ],
      "command": "/path/to/uvx"
    }
  }
}

How to install

Prerequisites you must have before starting:

Python 3.10 or newer
Sonic Pi installed and running a local instance or server accessible to the MCP server

Install or prepare the MCP launcher you will use to run the MCP server, then start the server with:

uvx mcp-sonic-pi

## Additional notes

Make sure Sonic Pi is running before starting the MCP server to ensure the MCP client can establish a connection immediately after startup. If you plan to integrate with Claude, ensure the Sonic Pi instance is up and accessible when Claude attempts to initiate the MCP session.
