Notes

Fork of Siddharth Ahuja's original project, extended with user library browsing, sample loading, drum rack building, and audio loop workflows.

Talk to Ableton in natural language: "Make me a house beat with Sidney Charles samples", "Load loops from Chris Stussy into different scenes", "Create a bassline in Am with Analog". The MCP server generates patterns, browses your library, and executes commands via Ableton's Live Object Model API.
