TwelveTake REAPER MCP
A TwelveTake Studios project.
A comprehensive Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that enables AI assistants to control REAPER DAW for mixing, mastering, MIDI composition, and full music production workflows.
Built by a working producer with 7+ albums released. These aren't theoretical tools—they're battle-tested in real sessions.
Version: 1.5.0
Why This Server
Workflow Automation, Not Just API Wrappers
Most MCP servers just wrap REAPER's API and call it a day. This one includes production workflow helpers that handle multi-step operations in a single call:
| Tool | What it does for you |
|---|---|
setup_sidechain_compression() |
Creates send, routes to channels 3-4, configures ReaComp's detector input — complete sidechain setup in one call |
add_mastering_chain() |
Adds ReaEQ → ReaComp → ReaEQ → ReaLimit to master track with proper signal flow |
add_parallel_compression() |
Creates a bus track, sets up the send, adds compressor — NY-style compression ready to blend |
create_bus() |
Creates a submix track and routes your specified tracks to it |
get_project_summary() |
Returns track count, all track names/volumes/pans/FX, markers, regions, tempo, time signature — everything your AI needs in one call |
