Review tracks, brainstorm, write MIDI, design sounds, dial in mixes, browse your library, arrange bar-by-bar, prep stems and releases — and drive Ableton Live directly. Chat-side and in-Live.
Created by Patrick King. MIT licensed.
Use them together. Producer brainstorms, writes, and ships from the chat box. Producer for Live generates inside the running set.
12 skills, 12 slash commands, 1 agent, 7 MCP connectors. Reviews, brainstorms, writes MIDI, designs sounds, mixes, browses your library, arranges, preps stems and releases, and drives Live directly.
A Max for Live MIDI Effect that sits inside Ableton, reads your session in real time, and generates drum, melody, and chord patterns into the highlighted clip — without leaving Live.
Paste these into Claude Code (web or CLI).
/plugin marketplace add patrickking67/producer
/plugin install producer@producerThe 6 cloud MCPs (Splice, Spotify, Google Drive, Gmail, Google Calendar, Canva) OAuth on first use. The Ableton MCP runs locally — install it separately, instructions in CONNECTORS.md.
The Producer plugin itself runs in Claude Code (CLI or web). The MCP connectors it relies on are also addable directly in Claude (web or desktop) — useful if you want the toolkit's connectors in your normal chat surface too.

Local search across the Live, Push, Move and Note manuals, the knowledge base, and video transcripts. Runs entirely on your machine. Install in Claude Desktop → Settings → Extensions.
For full session control (drive Live: BPM, tracks, devices, clips) you also need the Ableton MCP (local stdio, by @ahujasid). Setup steps in CONNECTORS.md → Ableton MCP.
Codex doesn't have a plugin marketplace, but it does speak MCP. Paste this block into ~/.codex/config.toml and Codex gets the same 7-connector toolkit. The slash commands and skills are Claude Code-specific — in Codex you just describe what you want.

Or run codex mcp add --url <url> <name> for each cloud MCP to register interactively. Requires a Codex CLI with streamable HTTP MCP support. Full snippet: plugins/producer/codex-config.toml.
Each maps to a skill that auto-triggers from natural language too. Just describe what you want.

End-to-end multi-step tasks: "build me a tech house starter set", "prep this for release across streaming and Beatport", "compare my track to 5 references and write the mix moves". Reads session state, calls the right skills in order, files artifacts, returns a one-paragraph status.
