Overview

Ableton for AI

Bridge between Ableton Live and AI models via the Model Context Protocol (MCP). Makes your DAW hearable and visible to AI — inspect, analyze, and modify music projects in real-time.

What it does

Real-time project inspection — Read tempo, tracks, mixer state, device chains, and all plugin parameters directly from a running Ableton Live session.
Deep audio analysis — Generate LUFS, Peak, RMS, transient detection, and log-frequency spectrograms for every stem.
Remote mixing control — Adjust volume, panning, EQ, compressor settings, and any device parameter directly from the AI.
Sidechain detection — Automatically identifies active external sidechain inputs on devices.

Tools

Tool	Description
`get_overview`	Session discovery — tempo, locators, all tracks with mixer state
`get_track`	Deep-dive into a single track (devices + all parameters)
`get_tracks`	Bulk fetch full data for a range of tracks
`analyze_stems`	Generate audio summaries + spectrograms for all tracks
`set_track_volume`	Adjust track volume (0.0–1.0)
`set_track_panning`	Adjust track panning (-1.0 to 1.0)
`set_track_mute` / `set_track_solo`	Mute/solo control
`set_device_parameter`	Change any device parameter by normalized value
`set_device_parameters`	Bulk-set all parameters of a device (preset loading)

Resources

ableton://stems/{track_name}/summary — Compressed audio analysis (JSON)
ableton://stems/{track_name}/spectrogram — Log-frequency spectrogram (WebP)
ableton://stems/available/summaries — List tracks with available analysis
ableton://stems/available/spectrograms — List tracks with available spectrograms

Use Cases

🎛️ "Analyze my mix and suggest EQ adjustments to reduce frequency clashing"
🔊 "Set the kick volume to -6dB and reduce the reverb send on vocals"
📊 "Show me the spectrogram of the bass track and identify problematic resonances"
🎚️ "Give me an overview of all track levels and suggest a better gain staging"

Requirements

Ableton Live 11/12 with AbletonOSC installed as Control Surface
Python 3.11+
macOS or Windows
