ableton-mind — Ableton Live MCP server

Read from the package source without running it. The installed server may list more.

• apply_recipe

  Apply an embedded recipe by id with optional overrides. Use after list_recipes when the user asks for a genre pattern, rack, mix chain, or arrangement scaffold. NOT fully transactional in Phase 5; returns progress and failed_at/error if a step fails.

• arrangement_add_automation_point

  Add one automation point in the Arrangement view for a mixer or device parameter path. Use for incremental arrangement automation edits. NOT idempotent: repeated calls add more points; returns the written time/value/curve after the bridge accepts it.

• browser_get_categories

  Read-only list of root categories exposed by the Ableton Live Browser. Use before loading instruments, effects, presets, or samples by browser path; returns available=false with a reason when browser access is unavailable or headless.

• list_prompts

  Read-only list of MCP prompts bundled with the server for clients that do not expose prompt discovery natively. Use when the user asks what workflows are available; returns prompt names, descriptions, arguments, and total count.

• list_recipes

  Read-only list of embedded music recipes, optionally filtered by category. Use before apply_recipe to choose a valid recipe id; returns recipe metadata, tags, version, category, and total count without touching Live.

• list_resources

  Read-only list of MCP resources exposed by the server for clients that do not expose resource discovery natively. Use when the user asks what context URIs are available; returns resource URI, name, description, MIME type, and total count.

• render_preview

  Preview the current Live set state. Use when an agent needs a lightweight result check; mode 'snapshot' returns deep state without audio, while mode 'bounce' is reserved for future audio export and returns requested bar count.

• scene_fire

  Fire a Session view scene by index, triggering all clips on that row. Use for arrangement-style playback from scenes. NOT idempotent: re-triggering restarts clips; returns scene name and marks async transport verification unverified.

• session_diff

  Compare a previous session_snapshot with the current Live state. Use after a mutation batch to verify what actually changed; returns added/removed/changed paths with before/after values and a change count.

• session_get_info

  Read-only top-level snapshot of the Live set. Use first when orienting an agent before edits; returns tempo, transport, time signature, track counts, root note, and scale without mutating the session.

• session_link_status

  Read-only Ableton Link and external sync status discovery. Use before sync-sensitive playback or collaboration workflows. Returns available=false with nullable status fields and a reason when the Live runtime does not expose Link state.

• session_snapshot

  Read-only deep snapshot of the Live session. Use before and after mutating tools to verify changes with session_diff; returns tracks and optional clips/devices without changing playback or session state.

• session_state

  Deep snapshot of the current Ableton Live session (tempo, transport, tracks, clips, devices).
