Ableton Live MCP Control

Skill by ara.so — MCP Skills collection.

This MCP server enables AI agents to control Ableton Live through arbitrary Python execution in Ableton's Live Object Model. It provides both high-level tools for common tasks and low-level access to the entire Ableton API. The server allows creating MIDI clips, inserting audio files, adding tracks/devices, analyzing audio signals, generating spectrograms, and automating mixing/mastering workflows.

Installation

The MCP server requires Ableton Live (tested with Suite 12.3.8) on macOS or Windows.
