Instruments not found in Ableton browser #37

Is this a known issue or am I doing something wrong? I followed all the steps in the instructions and am able to trigger tool commands from my chat client, but the Ambleton MCP server doesn't seem to be able to access any instruments or effects.

The specific message I get is:

I attempted to load classic 80s instruments (808 drum kit and Analog synth), but Ableton MCP could not find them in your browser. This suggests your instrument library may not be indexed or available to the MCP integration.

To resolve:

Make sure your Ableton browser shows these instruments and kits.
Rescan your library in Ableton if needed.
Try loading instruments manually, then I can continue automating the MIDI and arrangement.

I'm using Github Copilot with openai 4.1
