Installation

The current working path is source install. Public npm, GitHub Release and one-click .mcpb channels are wired in the repo, but they are not published yet.

1. Source install (current)

git clone https://github.com/Pantani/ableton-mind.git
cd ableton-mind
npm ci
npm run build
npm run install:remote-script

Then enable AbletonMind in Live:

Live -> Preferences -> Link, Tempo & MIDI -> Control Surface -> AbletonMind.

2. MCP client config

For a local source checkout, point the client at dist/index.js:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "ableton-mind": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["/absolute/path/to/ableton-mind/dist/index.js"]
    }
  }
}

Use the absolute path from your machine.

3. Claude Desktop .mcpb (after RC)

The repo can build a bundle locally:

npm run build:dxt

Drag the generated .mcpb into Claude Desktop. Public downloads will be linked after v0.1.0-rc.1.

4. npm global (after publish)

Planned command after publication:

npm install -g ableton-mind
ableton-mind
ableton-mind-doctor

Current registry status: ableton-mind is not published on npm yet.

5. Docker

Build locally:

docker build -t ableton-mind .
docker run --rm -i --network host ableton-mind

On macOS/Windows Docker Desktop, you may need host.docker.internal for the bridge host:

docker run --rm -it \
  -e ABLETON_MIND_HOST=host.docker.internal \
  ableton-mind

6. Smithery

smithery.yaml is present for the release path. Publish after the RC/package gates are green.
