Control Ableton Live with any LLM: create tracks, arrange clips & compose music via MCP

Overview

Ableton MCP connects Ableton Live to LLMs like Claude for prompt-assisted music production. Through a socket-based server and an Ableton Remote Script, it lets the AI create and modify MIDI and audio tracks, load instruments and effects from Ableton's library, create and edit MIDI clips, compose full songs in Arrangement View (intro, buildup, drop, breakdown, outro), and control playback and clip triggering.
