Daisys-mcp is a beta version and doesn't have a stable release yet. But you can try it out by doing the following:

1. Get an account on [Daisys](https://www.daisys.ai/) and create an username and password.


If you run on mac os run the following command:
```bash
brew install portaudio
```

If you run on linux run the following command:
```bash
sudo apt install portaudio19-dev libjack-dev
```

2. Add the following configuration to the mcp config file in your MCP client ([Claude Desktop](https://claude.ai/download), [Cursor](https://www.cursor.com/), [mcp-cli](https://github.com/chrishayuk/mcp-cli), [mcp-vscode](https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/copilot/chat/mcp-servers), etc.):
```json
