Ableton Live MCP Server

MCPOpen SourceMIT13.5

by mjpstj12 • Media & Multimedia

An MCP server and OSC daemon that lets LLM agents (e.g., Claude, Cursor) control Ableton Live via OSC, exposing Ableton functionality as MCP tools.

Example Use Cases

1
Inspect and modify Ableton Live session and track metadata (track names, routing, mute/solo, tempo).
2
Create and edit MIDI/audio tracks and clips, add notes to MIDI clips, and load instruments/effects from Ableton's browser.
3
Control playback and transport, trigger clips, and automate routing or channel assignments across tracks.

Description

This project implements a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server and an OSC daemon to bridge LLM clients with Ableton Live using AbletonOSC-style OSC messages. It maps available Ableton OSC addresses to MCP tools, supports request/response handling, and includes a remote script variant for direct socket control. The server enables agents to query session and track information, create and edit tracks and clips, load instruments and effects, and control transport and routing. It is a community-built integration intended for local use with Claude Desktop, Cursor, and Ableton Live.
