AetherWave MCP for Cline

Cline is a popular autonomous coding agent for VS Code with a built-in MCP Servers panel. Point it at AetherWave and Cline can generate and edit media as part of its task loop, no extra extensions needed.

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 Cline 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.

Quick facts

Step 1: Get your API key

Create a free AetherWave account and copy your API key (starts with aw_live_) from the Developer tab on your Profile page. New accounts get free starter credits, so you can test without spending anything.

Step 2: Add AetherWave to Cline

Add this block to cline_mcp_settings.json (via Cline > MCP Servers > Configure):

Replace aw_live_your_key_here with your real key, save, and reload Cline.

Step 3: Generate

Restart Cline and ask it to make something. For example:

Cline calls aetherwave_generate_music and aetherwave_generate_image in sequence and hands back finished, hosted URLs. You can check your balance any time with aetherwave_balance.
