ableton-mind
Definitive MCP (Model Context Protocol) server for Ableton Live. Exposes the full Live Object Model to LLMs (Claude, Cursor, etc.) with an embedded native device knowledge base, declarative music recipes, an integrated verify loop, and reactive listeners.
Status: alpha / v0.1.1 published — core smoke passed against Ableton Live 12.4.1 on macOS and package validation is green. npm, GitHub Release
.mcpb, and the MCP Registry are live. Glama has a listing, but its hosted release/deploy must be published separately from the Glama admin build flow; Smithery metadata is present and may lag indexing. API unstable. Don't use in production yet.Phase 8 status: 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.
