### Description (declared)

# Ableton Live MCP Server

## 📌 Overview

The **Ableton Live MCP Server** is a server implementing the
[Model Context Protocol (MCP)](https://modelcontextprotocol.io) to facilitate
communication between LLMs and **Ableton Live**. It uses **OSC (Open Sound
Control)** to send and receive messages to/from Ableton Live. It is based on
[AbletonOSC](https://github.com/ideoforms/AbletonOSC) implementation and
exhaustively maps available OSC adresses to
[**tools**](https://modelcontextprotocol.io/docs/concepts/tools) accessible to
MCP clients.

[![Control Ableton Live with LLMs](https://img.youtube.com/vi/12MzsQ3V7cs/hqdefault.jpg)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=12MzsQ3V7cs)

This project consists of two main components:

- `mcp_ableton_server.py`: The MCP server handling the communication between
  clients and the OSC daemon.
- `osc_daemon.py`: The OSC daemon responsible for relaying commands to Ableton
  Live and processing responses.

## ✨ Features

- Provides an MCP-compatible API for controlling Ableton Live from MCP clients.
- Uses **python-osc** for sending and receiving OSC messages.
- Based on the OSC implementation from
  [AbletonOSC](https://github.com/ideoforms/AbletonOSC).
- Implements request-response handling for Ableton Live commands.
