What is Ableton Live MCP Server
Ableton Live MCP Server is an open-source server that implements the Model Context Protocol (MCP) to enable seamless communication between Large Language Models (LLMs) and Ableton Live, the popular digital audio workstation. The server leverages Open Sound Control (OSC) to send and receive messages, allowing AI and automation tools to interact with and control Ableton Live remotely. It is based on the AbletonOSC implementation and provides an extensive mapping of OSC addresses to MCP-accessible tools, facilitating advanced and flexible integration. The project is structured in two main components: one handling the MCP server side and another managing OSC communication with Ableton Live. Its goal is to empower developers, musicians, and AI agents to automate, control, and enhance music production workflows within Ableton Live using natural language or programmatic commands.
