What leaves your machine

Audio and text you pass to a tool are uploaded to Audial's API (https://api.audialmusic.ai) over HTTPS and processed on Audial's servers; results are downloaded into AUDIAL_RESULTS_DIR (default ~/Audial). Nothing else is sent.

Two other files are read if they exist, because the Audial SDK looks for them: ~/.audial/.audial_config.json and a .env in the directory the server was started from. Credentials from your MCP client's config always win: audial-mcp snapshots its environment before the SDK loads either file, so neither can redirect your credentials or the API host.

Every tool except list_results calls the Audial API, which requires an active Audial subscription on the account; without one the tool returns the API's subscription message.
