  • Runs on your machine

Version checks

Not run yet – package checks are being switched on. It runs from a package on your machine, so instead of uptime we will install and start each new version.

How we check

Run it on your machine

Add to cline_mcp_settings.json (MCP Servers › Configure › Configure MCP Servers):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "opendaw-mcp": {
      "command": "docker",
      "args": ["run", "-i", "--rm", "-e", "OPENDAW_HOST_DIR", "-e", "OPENDAW_URL", "ghcr.io/ameobius/opendaw-mcp:1.13.0"],
      "env": { "OPENDAW_HOST_DIR": "YOUR_OPENDAW_HOST_DIR", "OPENDAW_URL": "YOUR_OPENDAW_URL" }
    }
  }
}

Replace YOUR_OPENDAW_HOST_DIR,YOUR_OPENDAW_URL with your own values.

For agents: the install prompt

Every step above as one Markdown text, for an assistant installing it for you.

# Install the MCP server openDAW MCP (`io.github.AMEOBIUS/opendaw-mcp`)

Its page: https://plug.directory/servers/io.github.AMEOBIUS/opendaw-mcp

It runs on the person's machine and needs Docker installed.

Ask the person for `YOUR_OPENDAW_HOST_DIR`, `YOUR_OPENDAW_URL` and put it in place of the placeholder; never invent a value.

Use the section for the person's client.
