WigAI - Bitwig Studio Extension for AI Control

WigAI is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server implemented as a Bitwig Studio extension. It provides an interface for external AI assistants to control Bitwig Studio through simple text-based commands.

Overview

The extension enables external AI agents (e.g., IDE-based copilots, standalone AI assistants) to interact with and control Bitwig Studio using the Model Context Protocol. This allows for hands-free control via text commands interpreted by an AI assistant.

Key Features

• MCP server implementation
• Transport control (start/stop playback)
• Device parameter control for selected devices
• Clip and scene launching

Requirements

• Bitwig Studio (5.2.7 or later)
• Java 21 LTS
• External AI agent supporting Model Context Protocol

Building

To build the extension:

./gradlew build

This will generate a .bwextension file in the build/extensions directory.

Installation

1. Copy the WigAI.bwextension file from build/extensions to your Bitwig Studio extensions directory.
2. Launch Bitwig Studio
3. Open Bitwig preferences, navigate to Extensions, and activate WigAI

Usage

Once the extension is activated in Bitwig Studio, the MCP server will be available at http://localhost:61169/mcp. External AI agents can connect to this endpoint to send commands and receive responses.

Development

This project is developed using the BMAD v2 method with AI Agents. The files in folders agents, ai and docs used for this development method.
