Question 1

What is Woven SFX?

Accepted Answer

Woven SFX is an open-source sound effects registry built for AI agents. It ships a skills.sh installable skill, stdio MCP tools, and a browsable catalog of whooshes, pops, glitches, and other .wav files for video editing workflows.

Question 2

How do I install Woven SFX for my AI agent?

Accepted Answer

Run: npx skills add woven-video/skills --skill add-sfx and choose your agent, or use --agent codex -y, --agent claude-code -y, or --agent cursor -y for a non-interactive install. Then add the woven-sfx-mcp server to your MCP config and pull sounds with scripts/pull-library.sh or on-demand via sfx_search and sfx_pull.

Question 3

What MCP tools does woven-sfx provide?

Accepted Answer

Three tools: sfx_search (find sounds by normal words, id, or tag), sfx_pull (download a selected sound by id), and sfx_list_installed (list cached .wav files in your project library).

Question 4

Where are sound files stored locally?

Accepted Answer

By default in ./sounds/sfx/ under your project root. Override with WOVEN_SFX_LIBRARY or an sfx-library path in .claude/project.md. The MCP server and pull script use the same resolution order.

Question 5

How many sounds are in the Woven SFX catalog?

Accepted Answer

The catalog at https://www.woven.video/sfx/catalog.json currently lists 35 sounds (catalog v1.0.0), including whooshes, camera shutters, glitches, dings, and impacts. New sounds are added to the open registry over time.

Question 6

Is Woven SFX free?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The skill, MCP server, and catalog are open source (MIT). Sound files are CC0. Install with npx skills add — no account required.

Question 7

What video editing workflows use woven-sfx?

Accepted Answer

Agents search the catalog with normal words, choose a sound id, then pull the .wav into the project library. Before assembly or render, they verify cached files with sfx_list_installed and pull any missing ids.
