MCP server for Spotify integration
If you already use Vulpes Spotify MCP, the vulpes spotify mcp mcp server is the piece that lets your assistant work with it directly. MCP server for Spotify integration.
A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that enables AI assistants like Claude to interact with Spotify, allowing them to search for and play tracks.
The server ships on npm as @smithery/cli, so your MCP client can launch it on demand — there is no separate build step. Add the server block to your client's configuration, restart it, and the tools register themselves.
The toolset is worth reading before you wire it up, because it tells you what the integration is really for:
spotify-search — Search for tracks by queryspotify-play — Play a specific track by ID or URIspotify-currently-playing — Get information about the currently playing trackspotify-devices — List available Spotify playback devicesspotify-search-and-play — Search for a track and automatically play the top resultspotify-playlists — Get a list of the user's Spotify playlistsspotify-playlist-tracks — Get tracks from a specific playlistspotify-play-playlist — Play a specific playlist (with optional shuffle)spotify-find-playlist — Find a playlist by name and play it (recommended for AI use)Configuration is passed through the environment: SPOTIFY_CLIENT_ID, SPOTIFY_CLIENT_SECRET, SPOTIFY_REDIRECT_URI, SPOTIFY_REFRESH_TOKEN. Treat anything key-shaped as a real credential — scope it to the minimum the server needs, and rotate it if it ever lands in a shared config.
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. Vulpes Spotify MCP's toolset — spotify-search, spotify-play, spotify-currently-playing and 6 more — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by ejfox; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.
