|---|---|---|---|
| LOG_LEVEL | No | Logging verbosity (INFO or DEBUG). | INFO |
| BASE_OUT_DIR | No | Where analysis output is stored. Defaults to {STEMS_SOURCE_DIR}/ableton-for-ai-out if stems dir is set, else ~/.ableton-for-ai/out. Override with an absolute path. | auto |
| STEMS_SOURCE_DIR | No | Path where exported stems are located. | ./stems |

Instructions
Guidance the server publishes about itself, which clients place ahead of the tool catalog so the model reads it before choosing anything.
This server publishes no instructions, or was last inspected before Glama recorded them.

Tools
Functions exposed to the LLM to take actions
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| list_resourcesB | List resources available on the server. |
| read_resourceC | Read a resource available on the server. |
| analyze_stemsA | DEEP AUDIO ANALYSIS: Triggers the generation of summaries and spectrograms for all tracks. This is a heavy operation that:
ACTION: Use this when you need fresh audio data (e.g., after the user recorded new parts or changed audio effects that significantly alter the sound). |
| get_overviewA | SESSION DISCOVERY: Returns a high-level overview of the current Live set. Includes:
Use this for initial navigation and to identify track indices for further 'get_track' calls. |
| get_trackA | TRACK INSPECTION: Returns comprehensive data for a single track. Includes:
Use this when you need to understand exactly how a specific track is processed or which parameters are available for manipulation. |
| get_tracksA | BULK TRACK INSPECTION: Query full data for multiple tracks in a single call. Parameters:
Returns an array of track objects, identical in structure to 'get_track'. Highly efficient for analyzing groups of tracks (e.g., all drum tracks). |
| set_device_parameterA | REMOTE CONTROL: Sets a specific device parameter. Parameters:
Note: For UI-readable values (like dB or Hz), check 'get_track' output first, but always send the normalized 0.0-1.0 value for the actual change. |
| set_device_parametersA | BULK REMOTE CONTROL: Sets multiple parameters for a device at once. Parameters:
Recommended for loading 'presets' or making simultaneous multi-parameter adjustments. |
| set_track_volumeB | MIXER CONTROL: Sets the volume of a track.
|
| set_track_panningA | MIXER CONTROL: Sets the panning of a track.
|
| set_track_muteC | Toggles the mute status of a track (True=Muted, False=Active). |
| set_track_soloC | Toggles the solo status of a track (True=Solo, False=Normal). |

Resources
Contextual data attached and managed by the client
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| get_available_stem_summaries_resource | Returns a list of all tracks that have an available '.summary.json' analysis file. Use this to discover which tracks can be inspected via 'ableton://stems/{track_name}/summary'. |
| get_available_stem_spectrograms_resource | Returns a list of all tracks that have an available '.spectrogram.webp' image. Use this to discover which tracks have visual representations available. |
