FAQ from ableton-copilot-mcp

What are the prerequisites?

Node.js v20+ (with npx) and Ableton Live 12.1.10 (tested). 11.x and 10.x are not yet tested.

How do I install the MIDI Remote Scripts?

Run npx @xiaolaa2/ableton-copilot-mcp --install-scripts (or -is). Alternatively, let the AI call the init_ableton_js tool, or manually copy the AbletonJS folder into your Ableton User Library's Remote Scripts folder.

Can AI manipulation cause data loss?

Yes, direct AI manipulation of MIDI clips can overwrite original notes and cannot be undone with Ctrl+Z. Use the server’s rollback feature for note operations to restore previous states.
