README

spotify-mcp MCP server

mcp-name: io.github.jamiew/spotify-mcp

MCP server connecting Claude with Spotify. This fork of varunneal/spotify-mcp adds smart-batching tools and advanced playlist features that optimize API usage.

Features

Core Functionality

Playback Control: Start, pause, skip tracks, manage queue
Search & Discovery: Find tracks, albums, artists, playlists with pagination
Real-time State: Live user profile and playback status
Resources: Read user, playback, track, playlist, artist, and album state by URI

Modern MCP Protocol

Structured output: every tool returns a typed schema, not a bare dict
Tool annotations & icons: read-only/destructive hints, titles, and a Spotify glyph
Progress notifications: live updates while paginating large playlists
Elicitation: destructive playlist removals ask for confirmation on clients that support it

Enhanced Playlist Tools (New in this fork)

Smart Batch Operations: Add/remove up to 100 tracks in single API calls
Large Playlist Support: Efficiently handle playlists with 1000+ tracks using pagination
Advanced Playlist Management: Create, modify details, reorder tracks, bulk track operations
API-Optimized Workflows: Intelligent batching reduces API calls by 60-80%

Installation

Requires a Spotify Premium account and uv >= 0.54.

1. Get Spotify API keys

Create an app at developer.spotify.com/dashboard.
Add redirect URI http://127.0.0.1:8888 — it must match exactly what you set below.
Copy the Client ID and Client Secret.

2. Add the server to your MCP client

Every client runs the same command — uvx spotify-mcp-jamiew — with your three Spotify env vars. No clone, no local path.

Standard config (works in most clients):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "spotify": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["spotify-mcp-jamiew"],
      "env": {
        "SPOTIFY_CLIENT_ID": "your_client_id",
        "SPOTIFY_CLIENT_SECRET": "your_client_secret",
        "SPOTIFY_REDIRECT_URI": "http://127.0.0.1:8888"
      }
    }
  }
}

Claude Code

claude mcp add spotify \
  -e SPOTIFY_CLIENT_ID=your_client_id \
  -e SPOTIFY_CLIENT_SECRET=your_client_secret \
  -e SPOTIFY_REDIRECT_URI=http://127.0.0.1:8888 \
  -- uvx spotify-mcp-jamiew

Add -s user to install it globally across all projects. Verify with claude mcp list.

Claude Desktop

Add the standard config above to ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json (macOS) or %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json (Windows), then fully restart Claude Desktop.

Codex CLI

codex mcp add spotify \
  --env SPOTIFY_CLIENT_ID=your_client_id \
  --env SPOTIFY_CLIENT_SECRET=your_client_secret \
  --env SPOTIFY_REDIRECT_URI=http://127.0.0.1:8888 \
  -- uvx spotify-mcp-jamiew

Or add to ~/.codex/config.toml:

[mcp_servers.spotify]
command = "uvx"
args = ["spotify-mcp-jamiew"]

[mcp_servers.spotify.env]
SPOTIFY_CLIENT_ID = "your_client_id"
SPOTIFY_CLIENT_SECRET = "your_client_secret"
SPOTIFY_REDIRECT_URI = "http://127.0.0.1:8888"

Hermes

Add to ~/.hermes/config.yaml, then run /reload-mcp (or restart Hermes):

mcp_servers:
  spotify:
    command: uvx
    args: [spotify-mcp-jamiew]
    env:
      SPOTIFY_CLIENT_ID: your_client_id
      SPOTIFY_CLIENT_SECRET: your_client_secret
      SPOTIFY_REDIRECT_URI: http://127.0.0.1:8888

OpenClaw

Add the standard config above to ~/.openclaw/openclaw.json (under mcpServers), then openclaw gateway restart.
