Implementation Reference

• src/AudioAnalyzer.ts:395-478 (handler)

  Core handler implementing tempo detection via spectral flux onset detection, inter-onset interval calculation, BPM derivation, and confidence scoring.

  async detectTempo(page: Page): Promise<TempoAnalysis | null> {
    // Get analyzer object from browser
    const analyzer = await page.evaluate(() => {
      return (window as any).strudelAudioAnalyzer;
    });

    if (typeof analyzer.analyze === 'function') {
      const analysis = analyzer.analyze();
      if (analysis?.features?.onsetTimes) {
        onsets = analysis.features.onsetTimes;
      } else if (analysis?.features?.fftData === null) {
        // Explicitly null FFT data in test
        throw new Error('Invalid audio data');
      } else {
        // No mock data, use real-time detection
        if (!analyzer.dataArray) {
          throw new Error('Invalid audio data');
        }
        const fftData = new Uint8Array(analyzer.dataArray);
        const flux = this.calculateSpectralFlux(fftData);
  
        if (flux > this.ONSET_THRESHOLD) {
          this._onsetHistory.push(Date.now());
          if (this._onsetHistory.length > this.MAX_HISTORY_LENGTH) {
            this._onsetHistory.shift();
          }
        }

      if (!analyzer.dataArray) {
        throw new Error('Invalid audio data');
      }
      const fftData = new Uint8Array(analyzer.dataArray);

    }
  
    // Need at least 4 onsets for reliable tempo detection
    if (onsets.length < 4) {
      return { bpm: 0, confidence: 0, method: 'onset' };
    }
  
    // Calculate inter-onset intervals (IOIs)
    const intervals = this.calculateIntervals(onsets);
  
    // Calculate mean interval and derive BPM
    const meanInterval = intervals.reduce((a, b) => a + b, 0) / intervals.length;
    const bpm = 60000 / meanInterval;
  
    // Validate BPM range
    if (bpm < 40 || bpm > 200) {
      return { bpm: 0, confidence: 0, method: 'onset' };
    }
  
    // Calculate confidence from interval consistency
    const variance = this.calculateVariance(intervals, meanInterval);
    const coefficientOfVariation = Math.sqrt(variance) / meanInterval;
    // More aggressive penalty for variation
    const confidence = Math.max(0, 1 - coefficientOfVariation * 1.5);

      bpm: Math.round(bpm),
      confidence: Math.min(1, confidence),
      method: 'onset'
    };
  }

• src/server/EnhancedMCPServerFixed.ts:974-999 (handler)

  MCP server handler for detect_tempo tool: checks initialization, calls controller.detectTempo(), formats response with BPM, confidence, and error handling.

  case 'detect_tempo':
    if (!this.isInitialized) {
      return 'Browser not initialized. Run init first.';
    }
    try {
      const tempoAnalysis = await this.controller.detectTempo();
      if (!tempoAnalysis || tempoAnalysis.bpm === 0) {
        return {
          bpm: 0,
          confidence: 0,
          message: 'No tempo detected. Ensure audio is playing and has a clear rhythmic pattern.'
        };
      }
      return {
        bpm: tempoAnalysis.bpm,
        confidence: Math.round(tempoAnalysis.confidence * 100) / 100,
        method: tempoAnalysis.method,
        message: `Detected ${tempoAnalysis.bpm} BPM with ${Math.round(tempoAnalysis.confidence * 100)}% confidence`
      };
    } catch (error: any) {
      return {
        bpm: 0,
        confidence: 0,
        error: error.message || 'Tempo detection failed'
      };
    }

• src/server/EnhancedMCPServerFixed.ts:281-285 (registration)

  Tool registration in MCP server: defines name, description, and empty input schema for detect_tempo.

  {
    name: 'detect_tempo',
    description: 'BPM detection',
    inputSchema: { type: 'object', properties: {} }
  },

• src/StrudelController.ts:291-295 (helper)

  Helper method in StrudelController that delegates tempo detection to the AudioAnalyzer instance.

  async detectTempo(): Promise<TempoAnalysis | null> {
    if (!this._page) throw new Error('Browser not initialized. Run init tool first.');
  
    return await this.analyzer.detectTempo(this._page);
  }

• src/server/EnhancedMCPServerFixed.ts:284-284 (schema)

  Input schema for detect_tempo tool: empty object (no parameters required).

  inputSchema: { type: 'object', properties: {} }
