AudioGen MCP

Communityby Community (peerjakobsen)freeverified Aug 20, 2026

Local, offline sound-effect generation with Meta's AudioGen — no API key, no credits.

What it does

Community MCP server that runs Meta's AudioGen (AudioCraft) on-device to generate sound effects from text descriptions, with async job tracking so long generations do not block the agent. The draw is unlimited offline SFX drafts at zero cost and with nothing leaving the machine; the cost is a fragile install and a model that is well behind current cloud SFX quality.

Claude Code

claude mcp add audiogen ~/.audiogen-env/bin/python -- -m audiogen_mcp.server

Local install: Multi-step: create a Python 3.11 venv, `uv pip install audiocraft --no-deps`, install its deps by hand (xformers must be skipped), then `uv pip install audiogen-mcp`

Auth: none — No key needed; model weights auto-download from Hugging Face Hub on first run

Field notes

The weakest entry in this category and listed only for the offline use case, and re-checked unchanged on 20 Aug 2026: PyPI audiogen-mcp 0.2.1 and repo both frozen at 25 Jan 2026, still one star, still MIT. Apple Silicon only, Python 3.9-3.11 (audiocraft does not support 3.12+), needs ffmpeg, ~4GB of disk for weights and ~8GB RAM. The install ordering is manual because xformers will not build on Apple Silicon. For quality, prefer ElevenLabs text_to_sound_effects or CassetteAI SFX via the fal MCP; come here only when the audio must not leave the machine.
