Visit this page to download and run the app on Windows:
autoeq-mcp is an MCP server for the AutoEQ headphone equalization database. It helps you search for headphones and IEMs, compare results, and get EQ settings for more than 8,800 models.
It is useful when you want:
- EQ settings for a specific headphone or IEM
- a quick way to compare models
- a simple way to look up AutoEQ data from an AI tool that supports MCP
- less time spent digging through database pages
Use a Windows PC with:
- Windows 10 or Windows 11
- an internet connection
- enough free disk space to save the app
- an AI app or client that can connect to MCP servers, if you want to use the search features inside another app
If you only want to download the project and inspect it, no extra setup is needed.
- Open the download link above.
- On the GitHub page, look for the latest release or the main project files.
- Download the Windows version if one is listed.
- If the project gives you a file to run, open it after the download finishes.
- If the project gives you setup steps, follow the install steps on the page.
If you use an MCP client, you will also need to add this server to that client’s settings before you can search the database.
Once the server is running, you can use it to:
- search for a headphone by name
- compare two headphones or IEMs
- get EQ settings from the AutoEQ database
- pull data for Harman-target tuning checks
- look up models from the large headphone and IEM list
A simple flow looks like this:
- Start the MCP server.
- Open your MCP-compatible app.
- Add the server in the app’s settings.
- Search for the model you want.
- Read the EQ result and compare options.
If the project includes a Windows app or packaged file:
- Download the file from the GitHub page.
- Save it to a folder you can find again, like Downloads or Desktop.
- Open the file.
- If Windows asks for permission, choose the option that lets it run.
- Follow any on-screen steps until the app starts.
If the project uses a command-line setup instead:
- Download the project files from GitHub.
- Unzip the folder if needed.
- Open the folder.
- Follow the project’s setup steps from the repository page.
- Start the server, then connect your MCP client to it.
To use autoeq-mcp inside another app:
- Open the app that supports MCP.
- Go to its settings or tools area.
- Add a new MCP server.
- Set the server name to autoeq-mcp.
- Point the app to the local server address or command shown in the project setup.
- Save the settings.
- Test the connection by searching for a headphone or IEM.
Common MCP clients may ask for:
- a command to start the server
- a local address like localhost
- a config file path
- a name for the server entry
You can use plain search terms like:
- Sony WH-1000XM5
- AirPods Pro
- Sennheiser HD 600
- Moondrop Chu II
- Beyerdynamic DT 770
You can also ask for:
- EQ settings for a model
- models close to a target sound
- a comparison between two headphones
- data tied to the Harman target
- headphones and IEMs with similar tuning
This repository is built around a headphone EQ lookup server. It focuses on:
- AutoEQ data access
- headphone and IEM search
- EQ result lookup
- comparison tools
- MCP support for AI apps
Based on the project name and purpose, you can expect features like:
- search across a large headphone database
- lookup support for thousands of models
- EQ data for common over-ear headphones and IEMs
- quick model comparison
- structured data output for AI clients
- support for audio tuning workflows
If the app does not start:
- Check that you downloaded the right file.
- Try running it again after the first failed attempt.
- Make sure Windows did not block the file.
- Check that your MCP client points to the right server.
- Restart the app and try another search.
If the app opens but cannot find data:
- Check the spelling of the headphone or IEM name.
- Try a shorter model name.
- Use a well-known model first to test the connection.
- Confirm that the server is still running.
If your MCP client cannot connect:
- Verify the server is enabled.
- Check the server address or command.
- Make sure the client supports MCP.
- Restart both the server and the client.
- You want EQ settings for your new headphones.
- You want to compare your current IEMs with another model.
- You want to search the AutoEQ database from an AI assistant.
- You want to find a model that matches a target tuning profile.
- You want fast access to headphone data without manual lookup
Depending on how the project is packaged, it may run as:
- a local server on your PC
- a small Windows app
- a tool started from an MCP client
- a background service that answers search requests
It may create local settings files so it can remember your setup.
- Repository: autoeq-mcp
- Purpose: MCP server for AutoEQ headphone equalization database
- Topics: ai, audio, autoeq, claude, equalizer, harman, headphone, iem, mcp, mcp-server

After you install or start the server:
- Open your MCP client.
- Send a search for a known model, such as HD 600 or WH-1000XM5.
- Check that the app returns EQ data or model matches.
- Try a second model to confirm the results change as expected
Keep the app working well by:
- using the latest project files
- checking the repository page for updates
- keeping your MCP client up to date
- removing old copies of the app if you install a newer build
