Ableton Live MCP

MCPOpen SourceMIT83.8

by ahujasid • Workflow & Task Management

Connects Claude AI to Ableton Live via a Model Context Protocol server to allow programmatic control of Live for prompt-assisted music production.

Example Use Cases

1
Create and program MIDI or audio tracks in Ableton Live programmatically (e.g., generate a synth bass track or drum rack).
2
Edit or generate MIDI clips and notes, including creating multi-bar patterns or chord progressions within a Live set.
3
Control Live session transport and clip triggering, or load devices/effects from Ableton's browser to automate production tasks.

Description

AbletonMCP provides a socket-based MCP server paired with an Ableton Live MIDI Remote Script so Claude (or other MCP-capable agents) can query session state and send commands to create tracks, clips, load devices, and control transport. It supports two-way JSON messaging to create/modify MIDI and audio tracks, edit clips and notes, load instruments/effects, and trigger playback. The integration is a third-party tool aimed at accelerating music production workflows by letting an AI directly manipulate Ableton Live. Installation uses a Remote Script in Ableton and a Python MCP server launched via the uv/uvx toolchain.
