A side-by-side look at the Sequencer and Aetherwave MCP MCP servers: transport, auth, tools, quality signals, and the config to install either one in Claude, Cursor, Windsurf or VS Code.
Verdict: choose Sequencer for multimedia process work; choose Aetherwave MCP for multimedia process as a local process. You can also run both side by side in one mcpServers block.
