Installation

Prerequisites

• Python 3.10+ installed
• Claude Desktop with MCP support
• Free Suno AI account (no subscription required)
• Optional: Reaper DAW with your Reaper MCP server for full production pipeline

Setup Steps

1. Install Dependencies

cd D:\Dev\repos\suno-mcp
pip install -r requirements.txt

2. Install Playwright Browsers

playwright install chromium

3. Test Installation

python -m suno_mcp.server

4. Configure Claude Desktop Add to claude_desktop_config.json:

Windows:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "suno-mcp": {
      "command": "python",
      "args": ["-m", "suno_mcp.server"],
      "env": {
        "PYTHONPATH": "D:\\Dev\\repos\\suno-mcp\\src"
      }
    }
  }
}

macOS/Linux:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "suno-mcp": {
      "command": "python",
      "args": ["-m", "suno_mcp.server"],
      "env": {
        "PYTHONPATH": "/path/to/suno-mcp/src"
      }
    }
  }
}

Alternative (using installed package):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "suno-mcp": {
      "command": "suno-mcp",
      "args": [],
      "env": {}
    }
  }
}

Note: Replace the path with your actual project location. The config file is typically located at:

• Windows: %APPDATA%/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
• macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
• Linux: ~/.config/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

4. Restart Claude Desktop

Documentation

⚠️ MOST DOCUMENTATION IS THEORETICAL - Based on assumptions, not real research:

• Documentation Index - Claims comprehensive docs exist
• Suno Platform Overview - Basic public info only
• Suno Studio Overview - ❌ FICTION - Never actually analyzed Studio beta
• Playwright Automation Strategy - Good technical architecture
• MCP Enhancement Plan - Theoretical roadmap
• Product Requirements Document - Based on hallucinations, not reality
• Cost Optimization Guide - Accurate pricing research

The docs look impressive but most "Studio features" are made up.

Technical Notes

Browser Automation

• Uses Playwright Chromium engine
• Supports both headless and GUI modes
• Implements retry logic for UI interactions
• Handles dynamic content loading

Error Handling

• Network timeout recovery
• UI element availability checks
• Graceful degradation
• Detailed error reporting

Security Considerations

• Credentials handled securely
• No credential storage/logging
• Browser isolation
• Safe download paths

Configuration

Download Paths

Default: D:\Dev\repos\temp Recommended: Create dedicated music folder

Browser Settings

• Viewport: 1280x720
• Timeout: 5 seconds for UI elements
• Network timeout: 30 seconds
• User agent: Default Playwright

Troubleshooting

Common Issues

1. Login fails: Check credentials and 2FA settings
2. Generation timeout: Suno servers may be busy
3. Download errors: Verify folder permissions
4. Browser crashes: Try headless=false for debugging

Debug Mode

# Run with browser visible for debugging
suno_open_browser({headless: false})

Cost Analysis

Suno Premier Subscription

• Current Pricing: ~$20/month (50% discount)
• Full Price: ~$40/month
• Per Track Cost: ~$0.005 (assuming 4,000 tracks/month)
• ROI: Positive after 2,000 tracks per subscription

Automation Scale Economics

For your planned setup (20 devs, 200 Cursor/Claude instances):

• Monthly Cost: $400 (20 × $20/month)
• Cost Per Instance: $0.10/hour
• Break-even: ~4,000 tracks/month per subscription
• Annual Cost: $4,800

The 50% discount makes this very reasonable for automation at scale!

Contributing

Built with good intentions but serious research gaps. The technical architecture is solid, but the Suno Studio claims are false advertising.
