So again, how do I automate Ableton live over a network socket with a standard API? I don't know if you've read the remote control API but it doesn't open a magic socket to remote control Live, you have to code the entire integration and protocol yourself to map whatever API messages you want to Live actions manually.

Let's forget about LLMs completely as they are only tangentially relevant to the benefits of MCP. I want to write 15 lines of python that - no matter the software - is going to trigger the "play" button/action in that software. E.g. I want to hit "play" in both Ableton, Unity and Blender without having to write three times the code, without having to manually write them each an extension plug-ins. How do you do that, today, 2025-11-17 ?
