Overview

What is Ableton Live MCP Server?

The Ableton Live MCP Server implements the Model Context Protocol (MCP) to enable LLMs to control Ableton Live via Open Sound Control (OSC). It maps the OSC addresses from the AbletonOSC project into MCP tools, allowing MCP clients like Claude Desktop to send commands to Ableton Live.

How to use Ableton Live MCP Server?

Install the server with uv, clone the repository, and run uv run osc_daemon.py to start the OSC daemon. Then configure Claude Desktop (or another MCP client) to launch mcp_ableton_server.py. Once set up, you can ask the LLM to perform actions like “Prepare a set to record a rock band.”
