Description

@atsukoba

I can't establish the connection between MCP Client-Server. Got

Error getting session info: Could not connect to Ableton. Make sure the Remote Script is running.

I found this fixed after changed Claude Desktop local MCP servers settings from automatically set one by install command on README npx -y @smithery/cli install @ahujasid/ableton-mcp --client claude, to manually set config json file.

Environment

  • Claude Desktop (0.12.55 (d55c63) 2025-07-25T17:43:32.000Z)
  • MCP server installed via smithery @ahujasid/ableton-mcp
  • Ableton Live 11 Suite (version 11.3.42)
