## Quickstart

Three steps: install `uv`, point your MCP client at the server, install the Ableton Remote Script.

**1. Install uv**

```bash
# macOS
brew install uv
```

Otherwise, install from [uv's official website](https://docs.astral.sh/uv/getting-started/installation/).

> **Warning:** Do not proceed before installing uv.

**2. Add the MCP server to your client**

<details open>
<summary><b>Claude Desktop</b> — Settings → Developer → Edit Config</summary>

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "AbletonMCP": {
            "command": "uvx",
            "args": [
                "ableton-mcp"
            ]
        }
    }
}
```
</details>

<details>
<summary><b>Cursor</b> — Settings → MCP</summary>

Paste this as a command:

```
uvx ableton-mcp
```
</details>

> **Warning:** Only run one instance of the MCP server (either on Cursor or Claude Desktop), not both.

**3. Install the Ableton Remote Script**

```bash
uvx --from ableton-mcp ableton-mcp-install-script
uvx --from ableton-mcp ableton-mcp-install-script --list-targets   # preview target folders first
```

**4. Connect**

1. Launch Ableton Live
2. Go to **Settings/Preferences → Link, Tempo & MIDI**
3. In the **Control Surface** dropdown, select **AbletonMCP**
4. Set **Input** and **Output** to **None**

That's it — ask Claude to buil…
