## 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**
```bash
cd D:\Dev\repos\suno-mcp
pip install -r requirements.txt
```
2. **Install Playwright Browsers**
```bash
playwright install chromium
```
3. **Test Installation**
```bash
python -m suno_mcp.server
```
4. **Configure Claude Desktop**
Add to `claude_desktop_config.json`:
**Windows:**
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"suno-mcp": {
"command": "python",
"args": ["-m", "suno_mcp.server"],
"env": {
"PYTHONPATH": "D:\\Dev\\repos\\suno-mcp\\src"
}
}
}
}
```
**macOS/Linux:**
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"suno-mcp": {
"command": "python",
"args": ["-m", "suno_mcp.server"],
"env": {
"PYTHONPATH": "/path/to/suno-mcp/src"
}
}
}
}
```
**Alternative (using installed package):**
```json
{
"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](docs/README.md)** - Claims comprehensive docs exist
- **[Suno Platform Overview](docs/suno-platform-overview.md)** - Basic public info only
- **[Suno Studio Overview](docs/suno-studio-overview.md)** - ❌ **FICTION** - Never actually analyzed Studio beta
- **[Playwright Automation Strategy](docs/playwright-automation-strategy.md)** - Good technical architecture
- **[MCP Enhancement Plan](docs/suno-studio-mcp-enhancement-plan.md)** - Theoretical roadmap
- **[Product Requirements Document](docs/PRD.md)** - Based on hallucinations, not reality
- **[Cost Optimization Guide](docs/cost-optimization-guide.md)** - 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
```bash
# 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!
