What is the Sveriges Radio MCP MCP server?

MCP server for Sveriges Radio's Open API - access Swedish radio programs, podcasts, live streams, schedules, news and traffic. That is what the sveriges radio mcp mcp server brings to an AI assistant: the same capability, reachable through the Model Context Protocol rather than a separate app or dashboard.

The short version

Koppla MCP-servern till din AI-assistent och ställ frågor på naturligt språk eller hämta data om exemplevis program, podcasts, liveströmmar, spellistor, nyheter och trafikinformation. Servern hämtar data från Sveriges Radios öppna API, som inte längre underhålls men fortfarande går att använda utan problem.

Getting it running

Installation 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.

The tools it exposes

The server publishes 14 tools. What each one is for:

  • get_all_rightnow — Vad som spelas på ALLA kanaler just nu
  • get_channel_rightnow — Aktuellt program på en specifik kanal
  • list_channels — Alla kanaler (P1-P4, lokalstationer)
  • get_channel_schedule — Tablå för en kanal och datum
  • list_news_programs — Översikt av nyhetsprogram
  • get_latest_news_episodes — Senaste nyhetssändningar
  • get_traffic_messages — Trafikmeddelanden per område
  • get_traffic_areas — Trafikområden (med GPS-uppslag)
  • get_playlist_rightnow — Aktuell låt (föregående, nuvarande, nästa)
  • get_channel_playlist — Låthistorik för en kanal inom tidsintervall
  • get_program_playlist — Låthistorik för ett program
  • get_episode_playlist — Komplett spellista för ett avsnitt

Things to watch

  • It runs with your machine's permissions. That is convenient and also the reason to think about what you point it at before you approve a tool call.
  • With 14 tools registered it takes up a noticeable share of the context window; turn it off in projects that never touch Sveriges Radio MCP.
  • Keep per-call confirmation enabled while you learn its behaviour; it is the cheapest safeguard you have.

How it compares

Plenty of developer tooling servers cover similar ground. The differences that matter in practice are scope of access and how much setup stands between you and a working tool call. Sveriges Radio MCP's toolset — get_all_rightnow, get_channel_rightnow, list_channels and 11 more — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by isakskogstad; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.

SyncDev reviews every entry in this directory against the project's own documentation before publishing, and revisits them as servers change.

Frequently asked questions

It connects Sveriges Radio MCP to MCP-compatible AI assistants such as Claude and Cursor, exposing 14 tools (get_all_rightnow, get_channel_rightnow, list_channels, and more) that the assistant can call on your behalf. Instead of copying data back and forth by hand, the assistant works with Sveriges Radio MCP directly.
