-# Temporary Holding Version
+# effetune-mcp
 
-This version is a temporary placeholder for this package. An operational version to replace this has been submitted for review and is awaiting a staged release.
+An [MCP](https://modelcontextprotocol.io) server that lets an AI assistant drive a running
+[EffeTune](https://effetune.frieve.com) desktop app: read and edit the effect pipeline, change
+parameters, and load or save presets. It talks to the app over its LAN Remote Control API
+([remote-v1](https://github.com/Frieve-A/effetune/blob/main/docs/remote-v1.md)); the audio stays in EffeTune.
+
+The server knows no effect by name. It asks the connected app which effects it has and which
+parameters they take (`describeEffects`), so effects added in a later EffeTune release can be
+used without updating this package.
+
+## Requirements
+
+- Node.js 20 or later
+- EffeTune desktop app with **Settings > Remote Control...** switched on. Parameter
+  descriptions (`describe_effects`) need an EffeTune build that advertises the `describe1`
+  feature; with an older one every other tool still works.
+
+## Setup
+
+You can ask a local AI agent such as Codex or Claude Code to handle installation and registration.
+The [EffeTune user guide](https://github.com/Frieve-A/effetune#control-effetune-with-an-ai-assistant-mcp)
+provides a prompt you can copy; translated prompts are in each language's user guide.
+Give the agent the pairing link and have it configure only the client you use, preserving other
+MCP settings. Once the client loads the new tools, verify with `connection_info` and `get_pipeline`
+without changing the pipeline. A restart or a new chat may be needed before the tools appear.
+
+The `npx` instructions below require a published `effetune-mcp` npm package. If npm reports that
+the package cannot be found, use [Local-source setup](#local-source-setup).
+
+Copy the pairing link from the Remote Control window (**Copy link**), for example
+`http://192.168.1.10:47300/?t=0123abcd...`, then run:
+
+```sh
+npx -y effetune-mcp setup
+```
+
+It asks for the link, checks it against the running app (version and features are shown), and
+registers the `effetune` server in the clients it finds: **Claude Code** (`claude mcp add -s user`),
+**Codex** (`codex mcp add`) and **Claude Desktop** (`mcpServers` in `claude_desktop_config.json`;
+other entries are kept and the previous file is saved as `.bak`). An existing `effetune` entry is
+replaced only after you confirm. Rerun it after **New token** or when the port changes.
+
+| Option | Meaning |
+|---|---|
+| `--url <link>` | The pairing link, instead of being asked (or set `EFFETUNE_URL`) |
+| `--client <list>` | Comma-separated `claude-code`, `codex`, `claude-desktop` |
+| `--yes` | Register in every client found and replace existing entries without asking |
+
+This package runs as a local stdio MCP server. The client must be able to launch a local process
+and reach EffeTune on your network; this package does not provide a public HTTPS MCP endpoint.
+
+### Manual setup
+
+Pass the link as `EFFETUNE_URL`. On Windows, use `cmd /c npx -y effetune-mcp` as the command.
+
+Claude Code:
+
+```sh
+claude mcp add effetune --env EFFETUNE_URL="http://192.168.1.10:47300/?t=<token>" -- npx -y effetune-mcp
+```
+
+Codex:
+
+```sh
+codex mcp add effetune --env EFFETUNE_URL="http://192.168.1.10:47300/?t=<token>" -- npx -y effetune-mcp
+```
+
+Claude Desktop and other clients (`mcpServers` in the client's config file):
+
+```json
+{
+  "mcpServers": {
+    "effetune": {
+      "command": "npx",
+      "args": ["-y", "effetune-mcp"],
+      "env": { "EFFETUNE_URL": "http://192.168.1.10:47300/?t=<token>" }
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+When the app picks another port or you press **New token**, update the link. The link can also be
+given as the first argument, but other users of the computer can read command lines; prefer
+`EFFETUNE_URL`.
+
+### Local-source setup
+
+Use Node.js 20 or later and Git. Keep this checkout in a permanent folder, since the client will
+launch the server from it. Only the `mcp` directory and its dependencies are needed to run it:
+
+```sh
+git clone --depth 1 --filter=blob:none --sparse https://github.com/Frieve-A/effetune.git effetune-mcp-source
+git -C effetune-mcp-source sparse-checkout set mcp
+npm --prefix effetune-mcp-source/mcp ci --ignore-scripts
+```
+
+Register the server in the client you use. Replace the example link and the absolute path below
+with your pairing link and the location of `mcp/src/index.mjs`. These commands launch `node`
+directly on Windows, macOS, and Linux:
+
+```sh
+# Codex
+codex mcp add effetune --env EFFETUNE_URL="http://192.168.1.10:47300/?t=<token>" -- node "/absolute/path/effetune-mcp-source/mcp/src/index.mjs"
+
+# Claude Code
+claude mcp add --scope user --env EFFETUNE_URL="http://192.168.1.10:47300/?t=<token>" --transport stdio effetune -- node "/absolute/path/effetune-mcp-source/mcp/src/index.mjs"
+```
+
+If `effetune` is already registered, update that entry while keeping other MCP servers. If the
+Codex CLI is unavailable, the same `command`, `args`, and `env` can be set in its MCP configuration;
+see the [Codex MCP guide](https://developers.openai.com/codex/mcp/).
+Claude Code's registration options are documented in its [MCP guide](https://code.claude.com/docs/en/mcp).
+For Claude Desktop, use the JSON above with `"command": "node"` and `"args"` containing only the
+absolute path to `mcp/src/index.mjs`. Use forward slashes in Windows JSON paths, such as
+`C:/Users/YourName/effetune-mcp-source/mcp/src/index.mjs`.
+
+Do not run the `setup` subcommand for a local-source installation: it registers the npm launch
+command. Restart the client if necessary, then check `connection_info` and `get_pipeline`.
+
+## Tools
+
+| Tool | What it does |
+|---|---|
+| `get_pipeline` | The active pipeline: stages with index, `nm`, `en` and parameter values, A/B slot, master bypass |
+| `list_effects` | Effects the app can load, with category |
+| `describe_effects` | Keys, types, defaults and ranges/options of the named effects |
+| `set_params` | Change keys of one stage (also `en`, `ch`, `ib`, `ob`) |
+| `add_effect` / `remove_effect` / `move_effect` | Edit stages by index |
+| `set_pipeline` | Replace the whole pipeline |
+| `set_master_bypass` | Master bypass on/off |
+| `list_presets` / `get_preset` / `load_preset` / `save_preset` | Stored presets |
+| `undo` / `redo` | The app's global undo history |
+| `switch_slot` / `copy_slot` | A/B pipelines |
+| `raw_request` | Any remote-v1 request, for ops newer than this server. Only offered with `EFFETUNE_MCP_ALLOW_RAW=1`, since it can also delete presets |
+| `connection_info` | App version, host name and protocol features |
+
+Tools that need a protocol extension report it when the app does not support it. Every tool carries
+MCP annotations (`readOnlyHint`, `destructiveHint`), so clients can ask before tools that replace or
+delete something.
+
+## Security
+
+The token in the link is the only credential and the traffic is plain `ws://`. Use it on a
+network you trust, keep the link private, and press **New token** in EffeTune to revoke it.
+
+Tool results include text that anyone holding the link can write, such as preset names and
+Section comments. The server tells the model to treat it as data, but keep your client's approval
+prompts on for tools marked destructive, especially when other tools (files, shell) are available
+in the same session.
+
+## Development
+
+The tests run the app's real WebSocket host (`electron/remote-control-host.cjs`) with a
+stand-in renderer, so they need the repository's dependencies:
+
+```sh
+npm ci --ignore-scripts      # repository root
+cd mcp && npm ci && npm test
+```
+
+Releases are published by `.github/workflows/mcp.yml` from a tag `mcp-v<version>` matching
+`package.json`; see [RELEASING.md](https://github.com/Frieve-A/effetune/blob/main/mcp/RELEASING.md).
