MCP interface into Exe-Edit

[macdeveloper]

It could be useful to start developing a preset framework that adds an MCP interface to Axe-Edit. The goal would be to allow users to generate an initial preset using an LLM (Claude, Codex, Ollama, etc.).
I built a small experiment for VCV Rack that works quite well, and that got me thinking about extending the idea to Axe-Edit. Having an MCP bridge could let an LLM help assemble a starting signal chain or preset structure automatically, which users could then tweak and refine.
Considering how powerful Axe-Edit already is, integrating something like this could open up some interesting possibilities for faster preset creation and experimentation.

How well do the LLM options we have today understand sound/tone? Feels completely out of its league as it can only reference words people have written to describe karang, oomph, full, chunky, buttery, jug jug etc.

i already use LLM to help me to starting crafting a preset, I fastly arrive almost to what i want, after that i apply my personal touch. They have knowledge on how to use parameter and how chain coulb better be setup to arrive on what you want.
