Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

laive

laive logo

laive-mcp is an MCP server and install toolchain for controlling Ableton Live through a real Live bridge.

The published npm package is laive-mcp. The Ableton Control Surface name is laive.

What It Is

laive gives an agent a bridge-backed way to inspect and control a running Live set.

It installs:

  • a Python Remote Script into Ableton Live
  • an MCP stdio server agents can launch with npx
  • an optional Max for Live sidecar
  • an optional macOS UI helper for fallback workflows

Key Features

Grouped capability summary:

  • Project and set reads: project summary, selected context, tracks, clips, devices, parameters
  • Arrangement workflows: arrangement summaries, arrangement loop and transport-region control, and arrangement-clip editing primitives including trim, move, and split
  • Session workflows: create clips and scenes, edit notes, launch clips and scenes, stop clip playback
  • Mixer and routing: return/master discovery, send levels, monitor state, routing, return-track creation
  • Device workflows: browser-backed device loading, parameter writes, enum-label targeting where metadata exists
  • Optional helpers: sidecar placement, selected-clip transforms, device snapshot/restore, and sidecar/UI-helper workflow setup guidance

Full feature breakdown:

Install And Try It

Prerequisites:

  • macOS
  • Ableton Live 11 or newer
  • Node 18.16 or newer
  • python3 on PATH

Install the bridge and helper artifacts:

npx -y laive-mcp@latest doctor
npx -y laive-mcp@latest install --apply

Then in Ableton Live:

  1. Open Preferences.
  2. Go to Link, Tempo & MIDI.
  3. In a Control Surface slot, choose laive.

To add laive to an MCP client, use:

{
  "command": "npx",
  "args": ["-y", "laive-mcp@latest", "mcp"]
}

You can print the published MCP config from the CLI:

npx -y laive-mcp@latest mcp-config --json --published
