MCP Setup Guide

AetherWave MCP for Claude.ai

Claude.ai supports remote connectors, so you can use AetherWave directly in the web app with nothing to install. Add the connector once, approve it in your browser, and ask Claude to generate music, images, or video in any conversation.

The AetherWave MCP server exposes 16 generation tools (music via Suno, image generation and editing, video generation, upscaling, background removal, reframing, and audio mastering) as native tools your agent in Claude.ai can call. No SDK, no per-provider API keys, no polling loops to write. Every generation auto-saves to your AetherWave gallery on Cloudflare R2.
