Spotify MCP

Overview

Spotify MCP is a Model Context Protocol server that brings Spotify's full feature set to AI assistants. It handles playback control, library management, playlists, search, podcasts, and audiobooks, letting Claude and other MCP clients interact with Spotify as callable tools rather than requiring manual app switching.

The server runs locally on your machine via the npm package @novalux12/spotify-mcp at version v1.22.0. Installation uses npx -y @novalux12/spotify-mcp. You'll need to provide your SPOTIFY_CLIENT_ID through environment variables to authenticate. The project is open source under the MIT license and maintained at NovaLux12/spotify-mcp-server on GitHub.

Spotify MCP belongs in the AI & Agents category on mcp.site and works with MCP clients including Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf, and Zed. If you maintain this server, claim this listing to verify ownership and keep information up to date.
