hush
Stop all music playback immediately.
now_playing
Check what music is currently playing, including the Strudel code and DJ commentary.
play_music
Generate and play live music. Describe what you want to hear — a genre, mood, activity, or anything creative. DJ Claude will compose a Strudel pattern and play it through the speakers.
play_strudel
Evaluate raw Strudel/Tidal code directly, bypassing Claude generation. Use this when you already have Strudel code to play.
set_vibe
Instantly set the musical vibe to match a mood. Great for matching music to the current coding task.

Install DJ Claude in Claude Code, Cursor or VS Code

Runs npx -y dj-claude on your machine. Read the scan report first; the gateway never runs local packages.

DJ Claude

The live music engine for AI agents.

About

DJ Claude is the only music MCP server with multi-agent collaboration. Multiple AI agents connect over HTTP and jam together in real-time — one adds drums, another layers bass, a third drops a melody — and everything composes automatically. It works in your terminal, browser, or as a Claude Code plugin with slash commands. No browser tab, no API key, no external services required.

Under the hood, DJ Claude uses Strudel — a live coding environment for music — to generate and play patterns in real time. 20 MCP tools, 3 resources, conductor mode, mix snapshots, 22 presets, and 8 vibes. Agents can make music for you, themselves, and each other while they work.

Why DJ Claude?

Multi-agent jam sessions — the first music MCP where multiple agents connect over HTTP and build music together in real-time, each adding layers that compose automatically
Zero dependencies — no browser tab, no API key, no external services. Every tool works out of the box
Claude Code plugin — one-step install from the marketplace with 20 slash commands
Conductor mode — orchestrate a full band from a single directive, with auto-detected templates (jazz combo, rock band, electronic, ambient, and more)
Agent-native — 3 MCP resources teach any connected agent the Strudel language so it can compose original music, not just pick from presets

Ways to Play

Terminal audio vs. browser audio: By default, the CLI and MCP server render audio through node-web-audio-api — a Node.js reimplementation of the Web Audio API. It works everywhere with zero setup, but sample playback and effects can sound rougher than a real browser engine. Add --browser (CLI) or set DJCLAUDEBROWSER=1 (MCP) to route audio through your system browser's native Web Audio instead. This opens a background tab and produces noticeably higher quality sound — especially for pads, reverb, and layered patterns.

Quick Start

Prerequisites

Node.js >= 18
Anthropic API key — optional. Enables AI-generated music from text prompts. Without it, every tool still works via presets, direct Strudel code, or the code/layers parameters

Install & Run

# Set your API key (or add to a .env file)
export ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=sk-ant-...

# Launch the terminal DJ
npx dj-claude

Or install globally:

npm i -g dj-claude
dj-claude

Or go headless for scripting:
