Overview

AI-generated overview

Remote MCP server that lets an assistant search a catalogue of 9,000+ Max for Live devices for Ableton Live and fetch details on individual devices.

What you can do
  • Search Max for Live devices by fuzzy full-text match on title, author and description, with type, license and sort filters
  • Retrieve full details for a single device by its catalogue id or by an m4l_ id for author-submitted devices
  • List the valid values for the type, license and sort filters used in search
When to use it
Useful when you are looking for Max for Live devices, effects or instruments for Ableton Live and want an assistant to find candidates and compare their details without browsing the site by hand.
Requirements
A remote streamable HTTP endpoint at mcp.max4.live; no packages, environment variables, headers or authentication are declared, so only network access is needed.
Before you install
The catalogue is a snapshot of maxforlive.com indexed until 2026-08-07 plus devices submitted to max4.live, so listings may be incomplete or out of date. The server is read-only and asks for no credentials, but device details come from third-party authors and should be verified on the source site before relying on them.

Installation

In SourceWeft

  1. Open max4.live in the dashboard and add it to a workspace.
  2. Enable the server for the chats that should use its tools.

Web executable via Streamable HTTP. Remote servers run from the web runtime once configured in a workspace.

Use with an agent

Paste this prompt into Claude Code, Codex, Cursor or another agent — or into SourceWeft chat. The agent reads this server's install guide, shows you its publisher, endpoint and sign-in, and adds it to your client once you agree. Keys never go into a command.

Read https://sourceweft.com/mcp/live.max4%2Fmax4live/install.md and connect the MCP server it describes to my client. Before changing any config, show me its publisher, endpoint and sign-in method and wait for my OK. Never put an API key in a command or in a file I would commit; ask me where it should come from.

Read the install guide the agent follows
