  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{"filename":"audioFile.ext","contentType":"application/octet-stream","size":12345}'

# 2) PUT the file bytes directly to the presigned uploadUrl
curl -X PUT '<presigned uploadUrl>' \
  --data-binary @/path/to/file.ext

# 3) Call the tool, passing the returned storageKey for each file field
curl -X POST 'https://api.elysiatools.com/en/api/tools/audio-stutter' \
  -F 'audioFile=uploads/2026/01/01/your-tool-1700000000000-abc123.ext' \
  -F 'stutterType=fast' \
  -F 'rate=8' \
  -F 'length=0.1' \
  -F 'randomness=0.3' \
  -F 'pitchShift=1.2' \
  -F 'feedback=0.2' \
  -F 'mix=0.8' \
  -F 'outputFormat=mp3'

API reference

Send a POST request with your inputs as JSON. File parameters require a separate upload first.

Endpoint

HTTP

POST https://api.elysiatools.com/en/api/tools/audio-stutter

Parameters

Name	Type	Required	Description
audioFile	fileupload required	Yes	—
stutterType	select	No	Character of the stutter effect. Different types create various rhythmic and textural qualities.
rate	range	No	How frequently stutters occur. Higher values = faster, more frequent stutters.
length	range	No	Duration of each stutter segment. Longer values = more extended repeats.
randomness	range	No	Amount of timing variation. Higher values = more irregular, unpredictable stutters.
pitchShift	range	No	Pitch modification during stutters. >1 = higher pitch, <1 = lower pitch.
feedback	range	No	Echo-like feedback in stutter repeats. Higher values = more intense, building repetitions.
mix	range	No	Balance between dry (original) and wet (stutter) signal.
outputFormat	select	No	—

File-type parameters must be uploaded first via POST /upload/audio-stutter, then the returned filePath is passed to the corresponding file field.

MCP integration

Add this tool to your Model Context Protocol server so AI agents can list and call it.

Server configuration

Add this block to your MCP client configuration:

mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "elysiatools-audio-stutter": {
      "name": "audio-stutter",
      "description": "Create a stutter or glitch effect",
      "baseUrl": "https://api.elysiatools.com/mcp/sse?toolId=audio-stutter",
      "command": "",
      "args": [],
      "env": {},
      "isActive": true,
      "type": "sse"
    }
  }
}

List available tools

After connecting to the SSE endpoint, list the exposed tools:

tools/list

{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 1,
  "method": "tools/list"
}

Call this tool

Invoke the tool by its id, passing arguments built from its parameters:

tools/call

{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 2,
  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "name": "audio-stutter",
    "arguments": {
  "audioFile": "https://example.com/file.ext",
  "stutterType": "fast",
  "rate": 8,
  "length": 0.1,
  "randomness": 0.3,
  "pitchShift": 1.2,
  "feedback": 0.2,
  "mix": 0.8,
  "outputFormat": "mp3"
}
  }
}

Chain multiple tools in one session with a comma-separated toolId list, e.g. /mcp/sse?toolId=png-to-webp,jpg-to-webp,gif-to-webp (max 20).

File parameters accept a public file URL only (https://…). Local paths, data: URIs, and Base64 strings are not supported.
