Running examples¶

# Start the DAW bridge first
cd openDAW/headless-daw && npx vite --port 5174 &

# Run any example
cd opendaw-mcp
source venv/bin/activate
python examples/genre_dnb.py

All examples use the OpendawServer class and call MCP tools directly:

import asyncio
from opendaw_mcp.server import OpendawServer

async def main():
    server = OpendawServer()
    await server.bridge.start()

    # ... your tool calls here ...

    await server.bridge.stop()

asyncio.run(main())
