Spotify MCP Server

# Spotify MCP Server with Siri Integration A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that exposes Spotify functionality for seamless integration with Siri via Apple Shortcuts. ## Features - **Play Control**: Play playlists, albums, and tracks - **Search**: Find music by song, artist, or album - **Playback Control**: Play, pause, skip, and adjust volume - **Sleep Timer**: Automatically pause playback after a specified duration - **Siri Integration**: HTTP bridge for Apple Shortcuts ## Prerequisites - Node.js 18+ - npm or yarn - Spotify Developer account - TypeScript 5.3+ ## Setup ### 1. Spotify Developer Setup 1. Go to [Spotify Developer Dashboard](https://developer.spotify.com/dashboard) 2. Create a new app 3. Note your **Client ID** and **Client Secret** 4. Add a redirect URI: `http://localhost:3000/callback` (or your preferred URI) ### 2. Project Setup 1. Clone or download this repository 2. Install dependencies: ```bash npm install ``` 3. Create a `.env` file in the root directory: ```env SPOTIFY_CLIENT_ID=your_client_id_here SPOTIFY_CLIENT_SECRET=your_client_secret_here SPOTIFY_REDIRECT_URI=http://localhost:3000/callback HTTP_BRIDGE_PORT=3001 HTTP_BRIDGE_API_KEY=your_optional_api_key_here ``` 4. Build the project: ```bash npm run build ``` ### 3. Authentication 1. Start the server: ```bash npm start ``` 2. The server will guide you through the OAuth flow if you're not authenticated 3. Visit the provided authorization URL 4. Authorize the app and copy the callback code 5. The tokens will be saved automatically in `tokens.json` ## Usage ### MCP Server The MCP server runs on stdio and can be used with MCP-compatible clients: ```bash npm start ``` ### HTTP Bridge (for Siri/Shortcuts) The HTTP bridge exposes REST endpoints for Apple Shortcuts: ```bash npm run bridge ``` ## API Endpoints All endpoints support optional API key authentication via: - Header: `Authorization: Bearer <api_key>` - Query parameter: `?apiKey=<api_key>` ### Play Endpoints **POST** `/play/playlist` ```json { "playlistName": "My Playlist", "deviceId": "optional_device_id" } ``` **POST** `/play/album` ```json { "albumName": "Album Name", "artistName": "Artist Name", "deviceId": "optional_device_id" } ``` **POST** `/play/track` ```json { "trackName": "Song Name", "artistName": "Artist Name", "deviceId": "optional_device_id" } ``` ### Search **GET** `/search?q=query&limit=10` Returns search results for tracks, albums, and artists. ### Playback Control **POST** `/control` ```json { "action": "play|pause|skip-next|skip-previous|volume", "value": 50, "deviceId": "optional_device_id" } ``` **GET** `/now-playing` Returns information about the currently playing track. ### Timer **POST** `/timer/set` ```json { "durationMinutes": 30 } ``` **POST** `/timer/cancel` ```json { "timerId": "optional_timer_id" } ``` **GET** `/timer/list` Returns all active timers. ### Health **GET** `/health` Check server status and authentication state. ## Apple Shortcuts Integration ### Setting Up Shortcuts 1. Open the **Shortcuts** app on your iPhone/iPad 2. Create a new shortcut 3. Add a **"Get Contents of URL"** action 4. Configure: - **Method**: POST (or GET for search/now-playing) - **URL**: `http://your-server-ip:3001/play/playlist` - **Headers**: - `Content-Type: application/json` - `Authorization: Bearer <your_api_key>` (if using API key) - **Request Body**: JSON with required parameters 5. Add a **"Get Text from Input"** action to parse the response 6. Add **"Speak Text"** action to have Siri confirm the action ### Example Shortcut: Play Playlist 1. Create shortcut named "Play My Playlist" 2. Add input action to get playlist name from Siri 3. Add "Get Contents of URL": - URL: `http://your-server-ip:3001/play/playlist` - Method: POST - Body: `{"playlistName": "[Shortcut Input]"}` 4. Add "Speak Text" to confirm ### Example Voice Commands - "Hey Siri, play my workout playlist" - "Hey Siri, pause Spotify" - "Hey Siri, set a 30 minute sleep timer" - "Hey Siri, what's playing on Spotify?" - "Hey Siri, play [song name] by [artist]" ### Running the Server for Shortcuts For local network access: 1. Find your Mac's IP address: `ifconfig | grep "inet "` 2. Use that IP in Shortcuts: `http://192.168.1.x:3001/...` 3. Ensure your Mac's firewall allows connections on port 3001 For internet access, deploy the server to a cloud provider. ## MCP Tools The server exposes the following MCP tools: - `play_playlist` - Play a playlist by name - `play_album` - Play an album by name - `play_track` - Play a track by name - `search_music` - Search for music - `control_playback` - Control playback (play, pause, skip, volume) - `get_current_playing` - Get currently playing track - `set_sleep_timer` - Set a sleep timer - `cancel_sleep_timer` - Cancel active timers - `get_active_timers` - List active timers ## Development ```bash # Development mode with auto-reload npm run dev # Build TypeScript npm run build # Run MCP server npm start # Run HTTP bridge npm run bridge ``` ## Project Structure ``` src/ server.ts # MCP server entry point http-bridge.ts # HTTP server for Shortcuts spotify/ auth.ts # OAuth authentication client.ts # Spotify API client tools/ play.ts # Play operations search.ts # Search operations playback.ts # Playback control timer.ts # Timer operations timer.ts # Timer manager types.ts # Type definitions ``` ## Troubleshooting ### Authentication Issues - Ensure your redirect URI matches exactly in Spotify Dashboard - Check that tokens.json is created and contains valid tokens - Re-authenticate by deleting tokens.json and restarting ### Device Not Found - Make sure a Spotify device is active (app open and playing) - Use the device selection in the Spotify app - Check device availability via Spotify API ### Connection Issues - Verify the HTTP bridge port (default: 3001) is not blocked - Check firewall settings - Ensure the server is accessible on your network ## License MIT
