Livepilot

Overview

Livepilot is a Model Context Protocol server that brings AI-assisted music production to Ableton Live 12. It exposes 317 tools across device control, sample engine management, and composition features, letting any MCP-compatible AI assistant make decisions about your production workflow and execute them directly within the DAW.

The server runs locally on your machine via the npm package livepilot, which communicates over stdio without requiring any authentication or external credentials. The latest release is v1.10.4. Source code and development happen at dreamrec/LivePilot on GitHub, where the project has garnered 65 stars.

Livepilot sits in the AI & Agents category on mcp.site and works seamlessly with MCP clients including Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf, and Zed. If you maintain Livepilot at dreamrec, you can claim this listing to verify ownership and keep the information up to date.
