Reaper MCP Overview

xDarkzx/Reaper-MCP connects MCP-compatible AI clients to REAPER, exposing more than 170 tools for music production. It communicates through a local file-based Lua bridge, allowing agents to work with transport, tracks, MIDI, audio items, vocal chops, FX chains, automation, routing, markers, and project data. Reach for it when an agent needs to create or modify a REAPER project rather than only control playback. REAPER must be open with the MCP Lua script running.

Primary Use Cases for Reaper MCP:
  • Compose MIDI arrangements inside REAPER
  • Create and sequence key-matched vocal chops
  • Configure plug-in chains and effect buses
  • Edit CC automation and MIDI sections
