What it is
The AetherWave MCP lets an AI assistant use AetherWave Studio for you. Claude, Cursor, Continue or any Model Context Protocol client gets 31 tools: it can make images, video, music and mastered audio, edit and upscale what it made, look up your saved characters, write and draw a full comic book, and turn a design into merch with real mockups.
You talk; the assistant picks the tools. Everything spends from the same credit balance you use on the website, and every result saves to your AetherWave gallery.

How to connect
Two ways, both covered step by step in Connect AetherWave to Claude:
- Claude connector (recommended): in Claude, add a custom connector with
https://mcp.aetherwavestudio.com/mcp, sign in and approve. No key, and new tools reach you automatically. - API key and the npm package: for Claude Code, Cursor, Continue or your own scripts. Create a key under Profile, then Developer (your first key comes with 50 free credits), then run
npx -y @aetherwave-studio/mcpwithAETHERWAVE_API_KEYset.
Try: "Check my AetherWave balance, then generate a neon synthwave album cover."
