Vuples Spotify MCP Server

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that enables AI assistants like Claude to interact with Spotify, allowing them to search for and play tracks.

Features

Requirements

- Node.js (v16+)
- Spotify Developer Account
- Spotify Premium account (for playback functionality)
- An MCP-compatible client (e.g., Claude Desktop)

Installation

Installing via Smithery

To install Vulpes Spotify Server for Claude Desktop automatically via Smithery:

npx -y @smithery/cli install @ejfox/vulpes-spotify-mcp --client claude

Manual Installation

1. Clone this repository:

   git clone https://github.com/yourusername/spotify-mcp.git
   cd spotify-mcp

2. Install dependencies:

   npm install

3. Create a .env file with your Spotify API credentials:

   SPOTIFY_CLIENT_ID=your_client_id

   SPOTIFY_CLIENT_SECRET=your_client_secret

   SPOTIFY_REDIRECT_URI=http://localhost:8888

   

   # Optional: For playback control

   SPOTIFY_REFRESH_TOKEN=your_refresh_token

You can get your Client ID and Secret from the Spotify Developer Dashboard.

4. Generate a refresh token (required for playback control):

There are two ways to get a refresh token:

Option 1: Use the built-in script

   npm run get-token

This will start a local server and provide instructions in the terminal.

Option 2: Use the simple script (if option 1 doesn't work)

   node src/simple-auth.js

This will give you a URL to open in your browser. After authorizing, you'll be redirected to a URL. Copy that URL back to the terminal, and it will show you a curl command to get the refresh token.

Required scopes (already included in the scripts):
- user-read-playback-state
- user-modify-playback-state
- user-read-currently-playing
- playlist-read-private
- playlist-read-collaborative

5. Add the refresh token to your .env file:

   SPOTIFY_REFRESH_TOKEN=your_refresh_token

6. Build the project:

   npm run build

Usage with Claude Desktop

1. First, ensure Spotify is open and playing on your device

2. Add this server to your Claude Desktop configuration:

Edit your claude_desktop_config.json file (typically in ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/ on macOS or %APPDATA%\\Claude\\ on Windows):

   {
     "mcpServers": {
       "spotify": {
         "command": "node",
         "args": ["/absolute/path/to/vulpes-spotify-mcp/dist/index.js"],
         "env": {
           "SPOTIFY_CLIENT_ID": "your_client_id",
           "SPOTIFY_CLIENT_SECRET": "your_client_secret",
           "SPOTIFY_REDIRECT_URI": "http://localhost:8888",
           "SPOTIFY_REFRESH_TOKEN": "your_refresh_token"
         }
       }
     }
   }

Make sure to replace /absolute/path/to/vulpes-spotify-mcp with the actual path to your project.

3. Restart Claude Desktop

4. You should now see the Spotify tools available when you click on the hammer icon in Claude Desktop

Available Tools

Troubleshooting

- "No active device found": Make sure Spotify is open and playing on at least one of your devices
- "Missing permissions": Your refresh token may not have the required scopes
- "Not premium": Playback control requires a Spotify Premium account
- "Issues with refresh token": If your token expires, generate a new one using the steps in the installation section

Important Notes

1. Always ensure Spotify is open on at least one device before using playback controls
2. The refresh token in your .env file and Claude Desktop config must match
3. After making changes to your configuration, restart Claude Desktop
