Use when controlling Ableton Live through the AbletonMCP server — tracks, clips, scenes, MIDI notes, instruments and effects, device parameters, mixing, automation, tempo or time signature — or when the Live connection or a tool call fails.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Ableton Live via MCP Claude drives a live Ableton Set through the AbletonMCP server (jpoindexter fork v2.0.0, 128 tools, all prefixed `mcp__ableton__`). Limits below are for this fork. **References (read on demand):** - `references/setup-install.md` — first-time install (Remote Script + server + verify) - `references/troubleshooting.md` — connection failures, tool errors - `references/als-xml.md` — reading Arrangement content from the saved `.als` (MCP can't) - `references/remote-script-patch.md` — the local patch that adds audio-file loading and working warp commands (`ableton-song-remix` needs it) For arrangement *craft* (section design, bass/drum patterns, FX chains) use the `ableton-arrangement` skill; this skill is the mechanics and the gotchas. ## Mental model - **Live and stateful.** Every call mutates the open Set immediately. No preview/dry-run. Undo is Live's own Cmd/Ctrl-Z. - **Single session.** Controls one Ableton instance — the frontmost open Set. No diffing two Sets, no background operation. Two clients on one Live collide; work sequentially. - **No autosave.** Claude can't save/open/new a Set — the USER Cmd-S's. After a Set …

How to install
mdr add peripan/music-workflow-skills/ableton-mcp@sha256:bc905aa7f5570fb1The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261012.1b07b24, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
