Wwise Mcp

🎚️ wwise-mcp

Talk to Wwise in plain English. An MCP server that lets Claude drive Wwise over WAAPI — audit your project, batch-edit, wire up events, and catch broken references, straight from a chat box.

You:    "These 8 gunshots — make them playable in-game, per our conventions."

Claude:  ✅ converted   ✅ wrapped in a Random container   ✅ created 8 Play_ events
         ✅ routed to the SFX bus   ✅ added to the Main SoundBank
         (preview shown first · one Ctrl+Z undoes the whole thing)

> Sound designers burn hours in plumbing mode — naming, building events, dragging folders, > hunting "why is there no sound?". wwise-mcp hands all of that to the AI so you stay in your ears. > Read the [sound-designer's workflow →](WORKFLOW.md)

✨ Why you'll want this

• 🩺 Catches real bugs. Events not in any SoundBank, empty sounds, and the classic

code calls AK_Reload but Wwise has AK_Relod typo — pinpointed to the exact file:line.

• ⚡ One-shot flows. "Onboard this batch" runs convert → container → events → bus → bank

in a single sentence. "Check everything and fix what's safe" audits then fixes.

• 🛡️ Safe by design. Every write previews first and undoes in one Ctrl+Z. It never

touches the risky stuff (duplicates, empty sounds) without you.

• 🎧 Stays out of your art. It does the plumbing; mixing, sound choice, and feel stay yours.
• 🔌 20 tools, every one live-validated against real Wwise 2024.1 — not vaporware.

Setup

1. In Wwise: User Preferences → enable Wwise Authoring API (WAMP, default port 8080), then open a project.
2. Install:

``bash python3.12 -m venv .venv && . .venv/bin/activate && pip install -e . ``

1. Register with your MCP client (stdio). Use the absolute path to the venv

entry point so it works without activating the venv first. For Claude Code: ``bash claude mcp add wwise -- /Users/inl/wwise-mcp/.venv/bin/wwise-mcp ` Or in an MCP client config JSON: `json { "mcpServers": { "wwise": { "command": "/Users/inl/wwise-mcp/.venv/bin/wwise-mcp" } } } ``

Tools

All 20 tools are live-validated against Wwise v2024.1.13. Write tools use a two-step mode="plan" (preview + token) → mode="apply" (execute, undoable) flow.

For how this fits a sound designer's actual day, see [WORKFLOW.md](WORKFLOW.md).

One-shot flows (compose the building blocks — start here) | Tool | What it does | |------|--------------| | wwise_onboard_assets | Make sounds playable in one call: conversion → container → Play events → output bus → SoundBank (dry-run preview, then execute) | | wwise_fix_all | Audit, then auto-fix the fixable (rename / bank / bus) and flag the rest for a human |

Read / inspect | Tool | What it does | |------|--------------| | wwise_status | Connection / open-project health check | | wwise_compat_check | Report Wwise version + which tools work on it (run first on a new version) | | wwise_query | Read-only WAQL query (capped results) | | wwise_inspect | Full property/reference dump of one object (by GUID, path, or name) | | wwise_audit | Health checks: no Output Bus, empty container, empty sound, event-not-in-SoundBank, duplicate name | | wwise_naming_check | Flag names with whitespace / non-ASCII / not matching a regex | | wwise_bus_stats | Objects-per-Output-Bus overview | | wwise_audio_file_check | Sources missing an original file / shared source paths | | wwise_unity_check | Diff Unity C# PostEvent("X") calls against actual Wwise events |

Document | Tool | What it does | |------|--------------| | wwise_export_docs | Markdown audio-design doc (summary, event list, Mermaid bus tree) |

Write (plan/apply) | Tool | What it does | |------|--------------| | wwise_set_properties | Batch property edit (volume, output bus, …) | | wwise_create_events | Auto-create Play_ events for sounds that lack one | | wwise_rename | Batch rename via a transform (default spaces_to_underscores) | | wwise_create_container | Wrap objects into a new container and move them in | | wwise_assign_shareset | Batch-assign an Attenuation / Conversion ShareSet | | wwise_move | Reparent objects under a target parent | | wwise_soundbank_assign | Add objects to a SoundBank's inclusion list |

Action | Tool | What it does | |------|--------------| | wwise_soundbank_generate | Generate SoundBanks to disk + error-log summary |

Write tools show exactly what will change before anything is written, and each batch is one Ctrl+Z to undo.

Not yet implemented

• RTPC/Switch wiring — deferred: the @RTPC curve-object structure could not be

cleanly validated via WAAPI in this environment, so a write op was not shipped rather than ship an unvalidated mutation. See docs/superpowers/notes/.

Compatibility

Requires Wwise 2021.1+ (the version that introduced WAQL, which most tools use). Run wwise_compat_check first on any untested version to see what works.

| Wwise version | Status | Notes | |---------------|--------|-------| | 2024.1.13 | ✅ verified | All tools live-validated | | 2021.1 – 2023.x | 🟢 expected | WAQL present, core APIs stable — please report via an issue | | < 2021.1 | ❌ unsupported | No WAQL; query-based tools return a clear version error |

Help expand this matrix: see [CONTRIBUTING.md](CONTRIBUTING.md) — capturing your version takes ~5 minutes and no coding (python scripts/capture_fixtures.py → PR).

pytest -m "not integration"   # unit + contract (runs across all version fixtures) — no Wwise needed
