Another way using Ableton stock (and no plug ins) is to add the Audio Effect “Spectrum”, play the key, and point your mouse to the highest frequency at the top. You will see the key on the left. Best to expand ...

There are many M4L and third party VST/AU for chords /melodies /bass (generate, follow chords, etc)...
