AI Jam Sessions

What it does

AI Jam Sessions is a sophisticated music education MCP server that bridges the gap between LLMs and musical experience. It provides AI with the ability to read MIDI, hear output via six specialized sound engines, and visualize music through piano rolls and guitar tablature.

Tools

• play_song: Plays library songs or MIDI files through various sound engines at adjustable speeds.
• view_piano_roll: Generates SVG visualizations of music for AI verification.
• sing_along: Provides singable text with solfege and vocal synthesis guidance.
• view_guitar_tab: Renders interactive, editable guitar tablature as HTML.
• annotate_song: Allows AI to study exemplars and write musical analysis for raw MIDI files.
• save_practice_note: Maintains a persistent practice journal for compound learning.
