AbletonMCP integrates Ableton Live with Claude AI via the Model Context Protocol, enabling AI-powered music production, track manipulation, and session control through two-way communication and a socket-based server.
AbletonMCP connects Ableton Live to Claude AI via the Model Context Protocol (MCP), enabling AI-assisted music production. It allows Claude to interact with and control Ableton Live directly.
Features include two-way communication, track manipulation (MIDI and audio), instrument/effect selection, clip creation, and session control (playback, clip firing, transport).
The system comprises two components: an Ableton Remote Script (a MIDI Remote Script for Ableton Live that creates a socket server) and an MCP Server (a Python server implementing the Model Context Protocol).
Installation involves installing the Ableton Remote Script by copying the __init__.py file into Ableton's MIDI Remote Scripts directory and configuring the MCP server in Claude Desktop or Cursor. The system uses a JSON-based protocol over TCP sockets for communication. Commands are sent as JSON objects with a type and optional params. Responses are JSON objects with a status and result or message.
Use cases include prompt-assisted track creation, instrument loading, effect application, and session parameter adjustments.
