Reverse engineered prompt
Build me a tool that lets Claude in Claude Desktop or Cursor control Ableton Live. I want to be able to ask for things in plain English like creating MIDI or audio tracks, loading instruments and effects from Ableton’s library, making and editing clips with notes, changing tempo, starting and stopping playback, firing clips, and building a full arrangement with sections like intro, buildup, drop, breakdown, and outro.
It should connect Ableton and the AI automatically through a simple local socket setup, with the Ableton side installed as a Remote Script and the desktop side exposed as an MCP server I can run with uvx. Please include clear setup steps for Mac and Windows, basic troubleshooting for connection or timeout issues, and an easy way to turn anonymous telemetry off. Keep it working with Ableton Live 10 and newer, and look up current MCP docs online if you need to.
