Apple Music MCP server — search catalog, manage playlists, and access your library via Claude.
Most developer tooling work still happens through a UI a human drives. MCP MCP server moves it into the conversation instead. Apple Music MCP server — search catalog, manage playlists, and access your library via Claude.
An MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that gives Claude full access to your Apple Music account — search the catalog, browse your personal library, manage playlists, and explore your listening history and recommendations.
The server publishes 11 tools. What each one is for:
search_catalog — Search Apple Music catalog (songs, albums, artists, playlists)search_library — Search within your personal libraryget_library_songs — List songs saved in your library (paginated)get_library_albums — List albums in your library (paginated)get_library_artists — List artists in your libraryget_library_playlists — List all your playlists with IDsget_playlist_tracks — Get tracks inside a specific playlistcreate_playlist — Create a new playlistadd_tracks_to_playlist — Add songs to a playlist (library or catalog tracks)get_recently_played — See recently played albums/playlists/stationsget_recommendations — Get personalised Apple Music picksSetup follows the usual MCP pattern — install or clone the server, register it in your client's configuration file, restart the client. The configuration blocks on this page cover the common clients.
Among the developer tooling options, the useful question is rarely "what can it do" but "what does it cost you to run" — permissions, credentials, and how much of your context its toolset consumes. MCP's toolset — search_catalog, search_library, get_library_songs and 8 more — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by Cifero74; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.
