Awesome stuff. Seems to me like one great use case of an MCP for Ableton would be to develop muscle / workflow memory for music production workflows. Adjacently, I've started using Perplexity a bunch for this sort of thing because it indexes YouTube tutorial transcripts. Any thoughts on how to design MCPs for learning Ableton better?

One thing I don’t cover in the blog post is ensuring your MCP tool calls are well documented. (If it’s an existing MCP you can do this with a README or instructions file.) I saw a jump in efficiency when I manually edited the docstrings with examples of when each tool would be used, how to call it, and better argument descriptions.
