Spotify MCP server

This is a small helper that connects Claude Desktop to your Spotify account. Once it is set up, you can ask Claude in plain words to find songs, play or pause music, and tidy up your playlists. It is handy if you listen to Spotify all day and would rather type a request than click around the app.

What this MCP server does

You type a request in Claude, like asking it to find a song or play something. Claude passes that request to this helper program running quietly in the background. The helper talks to Spotify using your account and your permission. Spotify sends back the answer, and Claude shows it to you in the chat, or carries out the action like pausing the music. You never have to open the Spotify app yourself.

What it gives back to you

You get answers written in the chat, like a list of matching songs with their artists, or a summary of your top tracks. When you ask it to change something, like adding songs to a playlist, it tells you what it did. Playback commands simply report back that the music was paused, skipped, or started.
