 "title": "Give Claude Code ears with the MCP server",
 "page_title": "How to give Claude Code ears with the MCP server with earshot",
 "summary": "Run earshot as an MCP server so your agent can listen without reloading models each call.",
 "who": "Developer using Claude Code or another MCP-capable agent on audio-heavy projects like films and games",
 "problem": "Calling the CLI repeatedly reloads models for 20 to 40 seconds each time, which makes listening loops painfully slow.",
 "outcome": "The agent calls describe, match, timeline and critique as tools with models kept loaded.",
 "steps": [
  "Install earshot and run `earshot doctor --load` to confirm models load.",
  "Start the server with `earshot mcp`.",
  "Register it in your agent's MCP settings (inferred, follows your agent's usual MCP config).",
  "Ask the agent to listen to a file and describe it to confirm the tools respond."
 ],
 "agent_prompt": "Connect to the earshot MCP server and use its tools to describe <audio file> and critique <video file>. Verify the tool list shows the listening tools before relying on them.",
 "agents": [
  "claude-code",
  "any"
 ],
 "difficulty": "Intermediate",
 "time": "30 minutes",
 "basis": "field",
 "caveat": "The README says the MCP server works for Claude Code and other agents but does not give a config snippet, so the registration step depends on your agent.",

 "lang": "python",
 "requirements": [
  "Python",
  "CPU only, no GPU needed",
  "Local models load on first call (about 20 to 40 seconds per CLI call)",
  "No account or paid key for core features",
  "Optional Gemini key only for the `llm` command",
  "Reference recordings for `forge --refset` are not in the repo; bring your own with `--refs DIR`"
