Me too! I made this MCP server so I could just ask Codex to do anything in Ableton Live for me, while I was nap-trapped by my baby.\n\nUnlike other Ableton MCPs I tried, this one can do pretty much anything that is possible via Ableton's Object model; the agent can just eval arbitrary python that runs inside Ableton. It also has some tools defined for common tasks so those work faster and more reliably. I had Codex CLI optimize this for hours with the new `\u002Fgoal` command to prioritize low end-to-end latency, high reliability, low token usage, while maintaining full flexibility.\n\nThings you can use it for: create MIDI clips, insert audio files, general Ableton questions (with this, your agent can see your whole live set), add tracks with different devices and effects, analyze harmony, analyze audio signals at any point in the signal chain, generate spectrograms, clip automation, setting up mastering or vocal processing chains, insert MIDI the agent finds from the web... it's very general purpose, I'm not sure what the limits are.\n\n## How to setup\n\nJust tell your AI agent (Codex, Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, Gemini, etc.) to:\n\n`Set up the https:\u002F\u002Fgithub.com\u002Fbschoepke\u002Fableton-live-mcp MCP server for me`\n\nIt should work on Mac and Windows with recent Ableton versions, but I have only tested it on Ableton Live Suite 12.3.8 on macOS Tahoe.\n\nBack up your Live Set before using this. The MCP can edit your set directly and could corrupt it.\n\n## Demos\nHere are a couple examples of live sets made from scratch with Codex in just a few minutes, along with their prompts. After it makes something, you can ask for follow up changes.\n\n[![Ableton Live MCP demo](https:\u002F\u002Fimg.youtube.com\u002Fvi\u002F8dRRrIY7NI0\u002Fmaxresdefault.jpg)](https:\u002F\u002Fyoutu.be\u002F8dRRrIY7NI0)\n\nhttps:\u002F\u002Fwww.youtube.com\u002Fwatch?v=8dRRrIY7NI0\n\nThe chat messages I sent to Codex to make this:\n\n_in ableton, make a self reflective song, with audio vocals (via macos say) and chip tunes and 80's drum machines. should be a real edm banger_\n\nFollow up prompts:\n\n_i want midi for everything but vocals please, with ableton devices. not prerendered audio for instruments_\n\n_needs some fills_\n\n_and should hit way harder after \"3-2-1 i become the sound\"_\n\n_the vocals are squished too much (read too quickly), give them a little more length_\n\n_add some dynamics, the song is basically one volume. and some pumping side chain_\n\n_improve dynamics of the clap, seems a bit flat and indistinguished, want it harder after the 3-2-1 drop_\n\n_introduce a new element on a new track after the 3-2-1 drop, that comes in but then recedes before the final exit_\n\n_doesn't seem like the new thing has any notes_\n\n_the element is a bit muddy\u002Findistinct. perhaps it needs simplification and more space, different instrument choice, i dunno_\n\n[![Ableton Live MCP piano demo](https:\u002F\u002Fimg.youtube.com\u002Fvi\u002FcLCHEV1jWQo\u002Fmaxresdefault.jpg)](https:\u002F\u002Fyoutu.be\u002FcLCHEV1jWQo)\nhttps:\u002F\u002Fyoutu.be\u002FcLCHEV1jWQo\n\nPrompt used to make this:\n\n_In Ableton, make a piano duet that tells the story of people debating the positive and negative merits of AI. The composition should be both beautiful and dynamic but surprising and fresh. Use Keyscape devices._\n\n## Built in Agent Audio Tap Max for Live device\nThe MCP includes an \"Agent Audio Tap\" Max for Live device that enables the agent to capture audio signals at any part of the signal processing chain. This gives the agent a full feedback loop for mixing and mastering tasks: it can capture audio signals for further processing with custom python, then tweak your Ableton devices, and then repeat.\n\nExample usage where I asked Codex to generate a spectrogram of two piano tracks I had:\n\u003Cimg width=\"3768\" height=\"1028\" alt=\"piano_tracks_first10_spectrograms\" src=\"https:\u002F\u002Fgithub.com\u002Fuser-attachments\u002Fassets\u002F6d2b6d9f-9a2c-4552-aa6c-91153de9df44\" \u002F>\n\n## Ideas\n\n- Control your external synthesizers and other hardware with the MCP\n- Ask it questions like \"why does my mix sound muddy?\" or \"how do I sidechain my bass track?\"\n- Ask it to do things like \"add a chord track that fits with my melody\" or \"give me a basic backing track for me to noodle on my guitar with\"\n- You can tell it use third party plugins (VSTs, audio units) like Serum and Keyscape\n- Tell your agent to incorporate your existing vocal samples, including asking it to trim silence and transcribe your audio samples before creatively incorporating them into your live set\n- Ask your agent to set up crazy user controlled DJ effects\n- Experiment with VJ plugins like Videosync to make music videos driven by your live set\n","该项目是一个通用的MCP桥接器，用于通过语音控制Ableton Live音乐制作软件。它基于Python编写，能够执行几乎所有的Ableton对象模型操作，并且内置了一些针对常见任务优化过的工具以提高效率和可靠性。此项目特别适用于需要解放双手、专注于创意过程的音乐制作者，如在无法直接操作计算机时（例如照顾婴儿期间）通过语音命令来创建或编辑MIDI片段、插入音频文件、添加音轨及效果等。此外，它还支持分析和生成音频信号、设置母带处理链等功能，极大地扩展了Ableton Live的使用场景。","2026-06-11 02:31:01","CREATED_QUERY"]
