Enables AI assistants to control Spotify playback and manage playlists via the Model Context Protocol.
Connect Spotify to Claude, Cursor or any other MCP client and it stops being a tab you switch to. Enables AI assistants to control Spotify playback and manage playlists via the Model Context Protocol. The spotify mcp server is what makes that connection.
A lightweight Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that enables AI assistants like Cursor & Claude to control Spotify playback and manage playlists.
The toolset is worth reading before you wire it up, because it tells you what the integration is really for:
Prerequisites — The Prerequisites tool exposed by this serverInstallation — The Installation tool exposed by this serverInstallation goes through your MCP client rather than a global install: point it at npm on npm and it is fetched when the client starts. The copy-paste blocks for Claude Desktop, Claude Code and Cursor are further down this page.
This sits in the developer tooling group, where several servers overlap in what they claim to do but differ sharply once you actually set them up. Spotify's toolset — Prerequisites, Installation — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by marcelmarais; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.
