What is the Ableton MCP Server?

Ableton Live MCP integration — fork of ahujasid/ableton-mcp adding a 33-personality style system, ~35 extra MCP tools, batch commands, and arrangement-view BETA

The short version

AbletonMCP connects Ableton Live to Claude AI through the Model Context Protocol (MCP), allowing Claude to directly interact with and control Ableton Live. This integration enables prompt-assisted music production, track creation, and Live session manipulation.

  • Two-way communication — Connect Claude AI to Ableton Live through a socket-based server
  • One-call session bootstrap — setup_session creates a whole project (tempo, time sig, tracks, instruments, mix) in a single round-trip
  • Batched commands — send N commands at once with atomic undo via batch_commands
  • 33 personalities, 4 roles — solo / comp / bass / drums in the style of Coltrane, Bill Evans, Jaco, Questlove, Timbaland, Dr. Dre, Metro Boomin, etc. — BPM-aware, blendable
  • Track manipulation — Create, name, mute, solo, arm, delete, and mix MIDI/audio tracks
  • Devices — Read every device's parameter list with min/max values; set parameters by raw Live value
