Doseedo DAW Sessions: read, edit and convert Logic, Ableton, FL Studio and Pro Tools projects MCP Server

Check the connected doseedo account: plan tier, the monthly credit pool (DAW conversions draw it), purchased extra-usage credits, and storage. Read-only — consumes nothing. Use it before a batch of conversions to confirm there is budget.

Add an audio file to a session from a public https URL (any audio file online; a bounce's pre-signed stem link works as is). Ingested server-side and returned as a sha256 you then use: place it on a track with attach_audio {track_id, blob_sha256}, or load it into a Quick Sampler with load_quick_sampler_sample {track_id, sample_path: "<the sha>"} — it bakes into the downloaded .logicx, no desktop needed (the drum-pack / sample-swap path). A file on the user's machine needs no upload: attach_audio local_path / load_quick_sampler_sample sample_path keep it local (doseedo_edit_ops_reference).

Bounce a session (or specific tracks) to audio through their REAL plugin chains, offline — Dø Desktop renders them in the background WITHOUT the user opening the DAW (live via Logic if it's open, headless if it isn't; this is the thing stock DAWs can't do). Headless renders AUDIO tracks only — an instrument/MIDI track needs the project open in Logic. A track that could not render is named in the error with its reason. Async: returns a job_id — poll with doseedo_wait_task. The result is downloadable stem URLs. Needs Dø Desktop to run at some point to pick up the job; until then it stays queued. No credits (rendered on the user's machine). Cancel: a bounce still queued never renders (its budget is refunded); one mid-render has its result dropped on arrival.

Cancel a queued or running job. bounce_session: a bounce still queued never renders (its budget is refunded); one mid-render has its result dropped on arrival. convert_project: a running conversion has no stop — it completes, the job ends as canceled and its output is discarded; the credit is refunded only when the conversion itself fails. A job that already finished answers 409 already_terminal.

Check an async doseedo job once — a DAW conversion (doseedo_convert_project) or a bounce (doseedo_bounce_session). Returns its status and, when finished, the result: pre-signed file links and, for a conversion, its transfer report (report, lossy, summary, warnings). The job_id alone is enough.

Finish a MULTIPART project upload started by doseedo_get_project_upload_url: pass every uploaded part's number and ETag (from the PUT response header; quotes optional). Returns the project_key to pass to doseedo_convert_project / doseedo_import_project. All parts except the last must be the same size (what `split -b` produces). abort:true discards the upload instead.

DAW CONVERTER: a project rebuilt natively in the target: tracks, MIDI, audio clips, tempo and markers arrive editable (Logic/Ableton/Pro Tools/REAPER pairs also automation, buses/sends, plugin state; into FL 3rd-party plugins only). Sources: Logic .logicx, Ableton .als, FL Studio .flp, Pro Tools .ptx, REAPER .rpp, Cubase .cpr, Dorico .dorico/.musicxml, Studio One .song, GarageBand .band (SOURCE only — zip the .band package like a .logicx; a GarageBand 6 project must be re-saved in GarageBand 10), Bitwig = any .dawproject (Bitwig/Studio One/Cubase export it; a native .bwproject is refused — File > Export… > DAWproject in Bitwig). The enum lists the exact pairs. ★ ASYMMETRIC TARGETS (an undocumented native file is never written): TO Cubase, Studio One or Bitwig = ONE .dawproject the app imports, not a .cpr/.song/.bwproject; TO Dorico = MusicXML (.mxl, Dorico's own notation import), not a .dorico. FROM Cubase the .cpr carries tracks, tempo and MIDI parts but not the audio pool (audio tracks arrive empty). FROM Dorico a .dorico carries players and flows but NOT its notes: convert its MusicXML export instead (.musicxml/.mxl accepted under dorico2*). Every result carries a transfer REPORT: `report`, `lossy`, `summary[]` (what changed), `warnings[]` (read before opening) — relay them; silence is never "lossless". Upload first: doseedo_get_project_upload_url + PUT (zip a project FOLDER so its audio travels; a bare project file works too; multipart past ~4 GB). Directions: "<source>2<target>"; "auto2<target>" detects the source; "<daw>2<daw>" rebuilds Logic/Ableton/FL/REAPER/Pro Tools in place (e.g. options.third_party_plugins:"disable"). To EDIT a project use doseedo_import_project; to convert a session the tools built: doseedo_download_session → upload that zip → logic2<target> (not a session_id). Async: job_id → doseedo_wait_task (15 s–2 min; `stage`); `file` is a direct storage link. Cancel: no stop — it completes, the job ends canceled, output discarded; the credit is refunded only when the conversion itself fails.

Create a new, empty DAW session in the account (a blank project you can then populate with doseedo_edit_session). Returns its session_id.

Delete DAW sessions in bulk — a SOFT delete (the sessions disappear from the account and every listing; nothing on the user's disk is touched). Select by ids, or by filters (daw_kind, created_before / created_after, name_contains); filters combine with AND. SAFE BY DEFAULT: without confirm:true this is a DRY RUN that deletes nothing and returns {matched, ids}. Always run the dry run first, show the user the count (and names if few), and call again with confirm:true only after they agree. Never delete sessions the user did not ask to remove.

Is Dø Desktop running on the user's Mac, and can it put edits into their Logic project? Reports which sessions it holds, how it applies edits (apply_mode "reopen" = save, back up, close, apply, reopen), whether macOS lets it (logic_control), each session's last apply (reopen_results) and its applied cursor. Use it to know whether an edit will reach the project now or wait for the next session open. When it is NOT connected the result says how the user gets and pairs the app, and what still works without it. Read-only.

Save a session as a native Logic project (.logicx.zip), rebuilt server-side from the session state — no desktop needed. Returns a short-lived NO-AUTH download_url (plain `curl -o ~/Downloads/…`, no header) plus `replay` = what the build put in the file (per track: kind, Quick Sampler sample + sampler {mode, sample_seconds, start/end, plays_beats}, MIDI note count, audio region count; bundled media; deferred ops the offline build could not synthesize) and `warnings` (e.g. a classic-mode sampler whose notes end before its sample; an unknown sample length). Verify from replay/warnings, never by unzipping ProjectData. `place_local_files` (when present) is ACTION-REQUIRED after unzipping — for Quick Sampler samples AND audio regions from local paths: a replay track with audio_source:"place_local_files" or a "NOT bundled" warning means that file is not in the zip until you run those cp commands; then tell the user the project is complete.

The catalog of session edit ops doseedo_edit_session accepts, served in views that each fit one answer (never cut mid-JSON). DEFAULT (no args): units, ids, applies, groups, batching/policy, the recipe NAMES and every op as {op, group, applies, summary} — read it ONCE before a build. Then fetch what you need: op:"load_quick_sampler_sample" (or ops:[…]) → those ops in full (args, units, doc; an unknown name gets did_you_mean); section:"recipes" → the full recipes (drum kit from local samples, fix note lengths, one-shots on an audio track, remote sample, submix bus, verify) — copy one instead of discovering op order; section:"ops" → every op in full; "units" / "ids" / "summary" (the get_session field map + workflow + policy + batching) / "all" (fitted, may shorten). Each op says where it lands (applies: live in the open project | next_open | state). Read-only, no key needed.

Edit a DAW session with a list of ops (regions, MIDI notes, sampler samples, tracks, mixer faders/pans/mutes, plugins, tempo, markers, key, …): ids and current values from doseedo_get_session, op arguments from doseedo_edit_ops_reference. When sync.live_edits is true Dø Desktop puts it into the user's Logic project (it saves, backs up, closes and reopens the project, ~10–20 s — tell the user); otherwise stored and applied at next open. CONTRACT: every op is validated before anything is stored; a rejection carries a code — unknown_op / unknown_plugin (with did_you_mean), unknown_id (with the valid ids), duplicate_id, forbidden_group, read_only_key — and a reason. atomic (default true): one rejection → NOTHING stored, all rejections listed; atomic:false stores the good ops. RETRY: re-send a timed-out call with the SAME batch_key and it dedups (deduped:true); without batch_key a retry duplicates. Ops apply on the desktop one at a time in order, no per-batch undo — verify with doseedo_download_session (replay).

Get a presigned upload for a DAW PROJECT file (for doseedo_convert_project / doseedo_import_project). Zip a project FOLDER so its audio travels with it — and a .logicx or GarageBand .band, which are folders (macOS packages). SIZE LIMITS: a single PUT takes up to 5 GB; guest and free accounts convert projects up to 2 GB, paid plans up to 12 GB (a larger one is refused as project_too_large with the cap and an upgrade link). Pass size_bytes: past 4 GB (or with multipart:true) you get a MULTIPART upload instead — a part_size, one presigned part_url per part, and the complete step (doseedo_complete_project_upload); each part is retried on its own, so a dropped connection costs one part, not the upload. Single PUT: `curl -sS -X PUT -H "Content-Type: application/zip" --data-binary @project.zip "<upload_url>"`, then pass project_key on. Multipart: `split -b <part_size_bytes> project.zip part.` then for each piece in order `curl -sS -X PUT --data-binary @part.aa "<part_url>" -D - -o /dev/null | grep -i etag` (keep each ETag), then doseedo_complete_project_upload {project_key, upload_id, parts}. Need more part URLs than one answer holds? Call this again with project_key + upload_id + part_numbers.

Read a DAW session as the arrangement an agent edits against: every track with its wire ids (track_id t_…, mixer strip channel_id ch_…), regions in BOTH beats and seconds with their MIDI notes (i, pitch, velocity, start_beats, duration_beats — i is what edit_midi_notes selects by), mixer (volume with dB, pan, mute), plugins with params[{param_id, name, value}] (set_device_param needs param_id) and sampler {mode, sample_seconds, plays_beats, …}, sends/output as ch_b_… ids, buses, tempo_bpm + tempo_map, time_signature + meter_map, key_signature when known, markers (marker_id, beat ABSOLUTE from bar 1), automation lanes, instrument, counts, length — and `sync` with live_edits:true|false + live_edits_reason (will an edit reach Logic now?). Field-by-field map: doseedo_edit_ops_reference {section:"summary"}. BUDGET (never cut mid-JSON): notes come inline when the selected tracks hold ≤200 notes, else regions carry note_count + notes_omitted:true — pass include_notes:true with tracks:[ids] for a track's notes; include_params:false / include_automation:false drop params / points; a result still too big is paginated by track with `truncated` + `next` (the exact args for the rest). Read-only. Pass the ids straight to doseedo_edit_session.

Open an uploaded DAW project (Logic .logicx.zip, Ableton .als or project zip, FL .flp, REAPER .rpp, Pro Tools .ptx — zip the folder) as an EDITABLE doseedo session: returns a session_id the session tools then work on (doseedo_get_session → doseedo_edit_session → doseedo_download_session as a native Logic project, or convert that download to another DAW with doseedo_convert_project). The session gets the project's tempo (+ tempo map), meter, markers, and every track with its name, mixer level/pan, color and MIDI notes. AUDIO IS NOT CARRIED: the import reads the project, not its media — audio tracks arrive named and positioned (audio.placements lists each clip's file and beats) and audio.next says how to supply the files. Plugins and summing buses are reported, not recreated. Upload first with doseedo_get_project_upload_url; this call parses the project (seconds to minutes for a big one) — if it answers status:"running", call it again with the returned task_id until it hands back session_id.

List the jobs this account submitted, newest first — DAW conversions (convert_project) and bounces (bounce_session) — to find an earlier result, check what is still running, or resume after a lost connection. Each row names its artifacts; doseedo_check_task {job_id} returns the full result with fresh links. Read-only.

List the plugins you can insert on a strip with doseedo_edit_session's add_device op. Returns the stock Logic catalog (instruments + effects, always available) and — when Dø Desktop is connected — the actual plugins installed on the user's Mac (stock + third-party). Insert any of them BY NAME: add_device {channel_id, device: {name: "…"}}.

List the connected account's DAW sessions (most recently updated first) — their ids, names, DAW, and update time. Pages with limit + offset (the response carries total and next_offset); name_contains filters by name. Use a session id with doseedo_get_session and doseedo_edit_session; clean up old ones with doseedo_delete_sessions.

Wait for an async doseedo job — a DAW conversion or a bounce — to finish: polls server-side for up to timeout_seconds (5–50; one call can never hold longer than 50 s), then returns the result or the latest status. If it returns still_running:true, call it again — a conversion usually takes 15 s–2 min, a bounce waits until Dø Desktop renders it. A finished job answers with its output, artifacts (pre-signed links) and note.
