ableton-mindThe definitive MCP for Ableton Live

"Make me a 128 BPM tech house with a punchy kick, rolling bassline, swung hi-hats." — the assistant builds it in Live, reads it back, and tells you what changed.

Two ways in

I make music. Start with What is ableton-mind?, then install from source, make your first Live set, and keep the prompt cookbook open.

I'm a developer. Jump to the architecture, tools reference, knowledge base, recipes and distribution notes.

Current status

36 MCP tools, 5 prompts, 3 MCP resources, 55 device schemas, 14 recipes across 7/7 categories, verify loop 23/23 mutation/preview tools, and real Ableton Live 12.4.1 smoke PASS for core bridge/session/transport/track flows.

Validation gates are green for 0.1.1, including typecheck, lint, tests, build, .mcpb, docs build, package dry-runs and doctor. npm, GitHub Release .mcpb and MCP Registry are published. Glama has a listing, but its hosted release requires the Glama admin Deploy -> Make Release flow; Smithery indexing and ghcr.io availability should be verified per channel. TD-030 Push 2/3 hardware smoke remains hardware-blocked until physical hardware is available.

Phase 8 is not a broad long-tail release yet. Slice 1 delivers read-only Max for Live/plug-in introspection and Link/remote status discovery. Deeper M4L control, VST3 sidecars, remote DAW integration and mobile companion work remain pending, and real Live smoke for M4L/plug-in/Link is still unproven in this pass.
