DJ Claude — Claude Code Plugin

Adds live music and multi-agent jam band capabilities to Claude Code. Slash commands and MCP tools for setting vibes, building layered jam sessions, and orchestrating full bands. Agents connect over HTTP to collaborate on music in real-time. No API key or browser required.

Demo

Watch on YouTube — 6 Claude Code agents jamming together in real-time.

Why DJ Claude?

• Multi-agent jam sessions — the first music MCP where multiple agents connect over HTTP and build music together in real-time, each adding layers (drums, bass, melody, etc.) that compose automatically
• Conductor mode — orchestrate a full band from a single directive, with auto-detected templates (jazz combo, rock band, electronic, ambient, and more)
• Zero dependencies — no browser tab, no API key, no external services. Every tool works out of the box via presets, vibes, or direct Strudel code
• 20 MCP tools, 3 resources — the most complete music toolkit available to AI agents
• Context-aware DJ — tell it what you're coding and the music adapts

Auto-Allow Permissions

By default, Claude Code prompts for permission on every MCP tool call. To let DJ Claude play music without interruptions, add this to your project's .claude/settings.json:

{
  "permissions": {
    "allow": [
      "mcp__dj-claude__play_music",
      "mcp__dj-claude__play_strudel",
      "mcp__dj-claude__set_vibe",
      "mcp__dj-claude__live_mix",
      "mcp__dj-claude__hush",
      "mcp__dj-claude__now_playing",
      "mcp__dj-claude__jam",
      "mcp__dj-claude__jam_clear",
      "mcp__dj-claude__jam_status",
      "mcp__dj-claude__set_context",
      "mcp__dj-claude__jam_preview",
      "mcp__dj-claude__mix_analysis",
      "mcp__dj-claude__conduct",
      "mcp__dj-claude__conduct_evolve",
      "mcp__dj-claude__snapshot_save",
      "mcp__dj-claude__snapshot_load",
      "mcp__dj-claude__snapshot_list",
      "mcp__dj-claude__export_code",
      "mcp__dj-claude__play_preset",
      "mcp__dj-claude__switch_audio"
    ]
  }
}

This auto-allows all music tools while still prompting for everything else.
