Lyrion MCP Server

An MCP server that lets LLMs control a Lyrion Music Server (LMS / Squeezebox) instance.

Features

  • 9 MCP tools (optimized for context efficiency — ~1,400 tokens of definition overhead)

  • Play by URL, track ID, search, collection ID, or Artist Radio

  • Search across local library + streaming plugins (Spotify/Spotty, Deezer, TIDAL)

  • Pluggable streaming-service adapters, configured via LYRION_PLUGINS

  • Full playback control: pause, stop, seek, power on/off

  • Playlist management: add, insert, delete, clear, move, jump, save

  • Player settings: volume, shuffle, repeat, mute

  • Player sync/unsync

  • Library browsing: genres, artists, albums, titles, years, playlists

  • Raw LMS CLI passthrough for advanced commands
