## Description

Enables AI assistants to control Avid Pro Tools through the Pro Tools Scripting Library (PTSL) API, providing comprehensive session management, transport control, track operations, timeline editing, and marker management capabilities. The server connects to Pro Tools via gRPC and offers both stdio and HTTPS transports for integration with Claude Desktop or Claude Cowork, featuring a timeline indexing system that parses Pro Tools session exports to enable spatial search of audio clips and their positions. Developed by Steve Krulewitz, it bridges the gap between AI assistants and professional audio production workflows, enabling use cases like automated session organization, clip management, transport control, and timeline navigation for audio engineers and producers.
