## Tools
- play-sheet-music (Play Sheet Music) - Compose and play sheet music with visual notation, multi-instrument audio, and style presets. Write ABC notation for melodies, arrangements, harmonized pieces, or well-known tunes. Add a style (rock, jazz, bossa, waltz, folk...) for automatic drums, bass, and chord accompaniment. Returns a parse-status confirmation and renders the player; it does not return raw audio. Use get-music-guide for genre templates, instrument lists, and ABC syntax reference.

The music player renders inline with interactive playback controls. Endpoint: https://mcp-music-studio.linxule.workers.dev/mcp
- play-live-pattern (Play Live Pattern) - Live-code music patterns using TidalCycles mini-notation in JavaScript. Layer drums, synths, and bass with stack(). Choose from 72 drum machine banks, 128 GM instruments, built-in synths, and a full effects chain. Patterns play in a REPL the user can edit directly. Add .pianoroll() to a pattern to show a live piano-roll animation in the widget (or .punchcard()/.scope()/.spectrum() — use one visual per pattern). Use get-strudel-guide for genre templates, sound references, and advanced features like visualization, arrangement, and sample loading.

The Strudel REPL renders inline with an editable code editor, visualizations, and playback controls. Endpoint: https://mcp-music-studio.linxule.workers.dev/mcp
- get-music-guide (Music Reference Guide) - Returns detailed reference material for music composition. Topics: instruments (GM instrument list + combos), drums (patterns + percussion notes), abc-syntax (notation reference), arrangements (multi-voice patterns), genres (complete ABC templates for jazz/blues/folk/rock/bossa/classical), styles (what each style preset does), midi-directives (%%MIDI reference). Endpoint: https://mcp-music-studio.linxule.workers.dev/mcp
- get-strudel-guide (Strudel Reference Guide) - Reference material for Strudel live coding (performance mode). Topics: mini-notation (pattern syntax), sounds (synths, 72 drum banks, 128 GM instruments), effects (filters, reverb, delay, FM synthesis, envelopes), patterns (transformations, probability, euclidean, arrangement), genres (complete templates: techno/house/dnb/ambient/jazz/lofi/synthwave), tips (tempo, common mistakes, ABC↔Strudel crossover), advanced (visualization, sample loading, wavetables, ZZFX, continuous signals, chord voicings). Endpoint: https://mcp-music-studio.linxule.workers.dev/mcp
- search-music-docs (Search Music Documentation) - Search detailed documentation for Strudel live coding or ABC/ABCJS notation. Returns relevant code examples and explanations from the official docs. Use this when the curated guides (get-strudel-guide, get-music-guide) don't cover what you need — for specific functions, advanced techniques, or when you're unsure about syntax. Powered by semantic search over strudel.cc and ABCJS docs. Endpoint: https://mcp-music-studio.linxule.workers.dev/mcp
