Playback control and playlist editing both work from a chat window: search for tracks, albums, or artists, queue them up, change the volume, and build, rename, or reorder playlists. It also reads your Liked Songs, your recently played tracks, and which speakers are available. Controlling playback needs a Spotify Premium account, plus a free developer registration of your own so it can sign in. It runs in Claude Desktop, Cursor, and VS Code through Cline, and was last updated in July 2026.

spotify-mcp-server FAQ

Is this project still maintained?
Yes, and actively. It is not archived and the most recent code change was in late July 2026.
Do I need Spotify Premium?
Yes for anything that controls playback, including play, pause, skip, and volume. Spotify itself restricts those controls to Premium accounts.
Do I need my own Spotify credentials?
Yes. You create a free app entry in Spotify's developer dashboard, copy two values into a small settings file, and sign in once. After that it refreshes itself.
Which apps does it work in?
Claude Desktop, Cursor, and VS Code through the Cline extension, plus other assistants that support MCP servers.
Can I use this to make a playlist for a party?
Yes — it can search for music, create a new playlist, add tracks in bulk, reorder them, and rename or describe the playlist afterwards.
How hard is setup?
Moderate. You download the project, run two build commands, register a free app with Spotify, and run a one-time sign-in script.
Can it delete my music?
It can remove songs from your Liked Songs and take tracks out of playlists, so be specific about what you want changed.
