+# Spotify MCP Server - Refactored Project Guide
+
+## 📋 Overview
+
+Your Spotify MCP Server project has been **refactored to be a production-ready MCP server package** instead of a collection of scripts. This means it's now properly designed to be consumed by AI assistants like Claude Desktop, Cursor, and VS Code.
+
+## 🎯 What Changed
+
+### Before (Mixed Structure)
+```
+spotify-mcp-server/
+├── src/ # MCP server code
+├── build/ # Compiled server
+├── *.mjs files # Random test scripts in root
+└── README.md
+```
+
+### After (Clean Structure)
+```
+spotify-mcp-server/
+├── src/ # Core MCP server code
+├── build/ # Compiled server
+├── examples/ # Organized example scripts
+├── README.md # MCP server documentation
+├── REFACTORING.md # Detailed refactoring info
+└── package.json # Production-ready metadata
+```
+
+## 📦 Key Improvements
+
+### 1. **Package Configuration**
+✅ `package.json` now includes:
+- Proper description emphasizing MCP purpose
+- License, repository, and bugs fields
+- Correct `main` entry point
+- Better scripts: `build`, `dev`, `auth`, `typecheck`
+- Appropriate `files` array (excludes examples)
+- Required Node.js version specification
+
+### 2. **Code Organization**
+✅ Test scripts moved to `examples/`:
+- `test-now-playing.mjs`
+- `build-and-play-playlist.mjs`
+- `add-songs-to-playlist.mjs`
+- `get-music-statistics.mjs`
+- `check-playback-status.mjs`
+- `enable-shuffle-v2.mjs`
+- `skip-next.mjs`
+- And more...
+
+### 3. **Documentation**
+✅ Two-tier documentation:
+- **README.md**: MCP server setup and usage
+- **examples/README.md**: Guide to example scripts
+- **REFACTORING.md**: This refactoring summary
+
+### 4. **Token Management**
+✅ Enhanced `src/utils.ts` with:
+- Automatic token refresh on expiration
+- Better error handling
+- No instance caching (ensures fresh tokens)
+
+## 🚀 How to Use
+
+### For Integration with AI Assistants
+
+#### Claude Desktop
+1. Build the server: `npm run build`
+2. Add to `~/.config/claude/config.json`:
+```json
+{
+ "mcpServers": {
+ "spotify": {
+ "command": "node",
+ "args": ["/path/to/spotify-mcp-server/build/index.js"]
+ }
+ }
+}
+```
+3. Restart Claude Desktop
+
+#### Cursor
+1. Build: `npm run build`
+2. Open Cursor Settings (Cmd + Shift + J)
+3. Go to MCP tab
+4. Add: `node /path/to/spotify-mcp-server/build/index.js`
+
+#### VS Code with Cline
+1. Build: `npm run build`
+2. Create/edit `cline_mcp_settings.json`:
+```json
+{
+ "mcpServers": {
+ "spotify": {
+ "command": "node",
+ "args": ["/path/to/spotify-mcp-server/build/index.js"],
+ "autoApprove": ["getNowPlaying", "searchSpotify"]
+ }
+ }
+}
+```
+
+### For Testing/Development
+
+#### Run Examples
+```bash
+# Get now playing
+node examples/test-now-playing.mjs
+
+# Build and play a playlist
+node examples/build-and-play-playlist.mjs
+
+# Get music statistics
+node examples/get-music-statistics.mjs
+
+# And more...
+```
+
+#### Development Workflow
+```bash
+# Watch for TypeScript changes
+npm run dev
+
+# Type check
+npm run typecheck
+
+# Lint
+npm run lint
+
+# Lint with fixes
+npm run lint:fix
+```
+
+## 📂 File Organization
+
+### Core MCP Server (src/)
+These files are compiled and distributed:
+- `index.ts` - MCP server entry point
+- `read.ts` - Search, get playlists, etc.
+- `play.ts` - Playback control
+- `albums.ts` - Album operations
+- `auth.ts` - Authentication logic
+- `utils.ts` - Utilities + token refresh
+- `types.ts` - TypeScript types
+
+### Build Output (build/)
+Generated JavaScript - do NOT edit directly
+
+### Examples (examples/)
+For learning and testing - NOT distributed:
+- Each script demonstrates a use case
+- Can be adapted for your needs
+- Run independently with Node.js
+
+### Configuration
+- `.gitignore` - Excludes sensitive files
+- `package.json` - Project metadata
+- `tsconfig.json` - TypeScript config
+- `biome.jsonc` - Code formatting rules
+
+## 🎮 Available Tools
+
+The MCP server exposes these tools to AI assistants:
+
+### Read Tools
+- `searchSpotify` - Search tracks, albums, artists, playlists
+- `getNowPlaying` - Get current track
+- `getMyPlaylists` - Get user's playlists
+- `getPlaylistTracks` - Get tracks in playlist
+- `getRecentlyPlayed` - Get recently played
+- `getUsersSavedTracks` - Get liked songs
+- `getQueue` - Get playback queue
+
+### Play Tools
+- `playMusic` - Play track/album/artist/playlist
+- `pausePlayback` - Pause
+- `resumePlayback` - Resume
+- `skipToNext` - Next track
+- `skipToPrevious` - Previous track
+- `addToQueue` - Add to queue
+
+### Playlist Tools
+- `createPlaylist` - Create new playlist
+- `addTracksToPlaylist` - Add tracks
+
+### Album Tools
+- `getAlbums` - Get album info
+- `getAlbumTracks` - Get album tracks
+- `saveOrRemoveAlbumForUser` - Save/remove
+- `checkUsersSavedAlbums` - Check if saved
+
+## 🔐 Security
+
+✅ Important security measures:
+- `spotify-config.json` is git-ignored (contains secrets)
+- Use `spotify-config.example.json` as template
+- Tokens are automatically refreshed
+- No credentials in distributed package
+
+## 📊 Project Status
+
+- ✅ MCP server ready
+- ✅ Production-ready package
+- ✅ Example scripts included
+- ✅ Comprehensive documentation
+- ✅ Proper project structure
+- ✅ Token refresh working
+- ✅ TypeScript strict mode

-## Setup
-
-### Prerequisites
+# Spotify MCP Server
-- Node.js v16+
-- A Spotify Premium account
-- A registered Spotify Developer application
+A lightweight [Model Context Protocol (MCP)](https://modelcontextprotocol.io) server for Spotify playback control, library access, album lookup, and playlist management.
-### Installation
+The current server implementation is a **stdio MCP server** named `spotify-controller` that registers **31 tools** from the source files in `src/`:
+
+- `src/read.ts` — 11 read/library tools
+- `src/play.ts` — 12 playback + creation tools
+- `src/albums.ts` — 4 album tools
+- `src/playlist.ts` — 4 playlist tools
+
+It is intended to be used by MCP-compatible clients such as Claude Desktop, Cursor, VS Code extensions, and custom MCP hosts.

+
+## What the current server does
+
+The source code currently exposes tools for:
+
+- Searching Spotify for tracks, albums, artists, and playlists
+- Inspecting the current playback state, queue, devices, playlists, albums, and library
+- Playing tracks, albums, artists, and playlists
+- Pausing, resuming, skipping, queueing, and controlling volume/shuffle/repeat
+- Creating playlists and adding/removing/reordering tracks
+- Saving or removing tracks and albums from the user's library
+
+Implementation details verified from `src/index.ts` and `src/utils.ts`:
+
+- Transport: `StdioServerTransport`
+- Server name: `spotify-controller`
+- Version: `1.0.0`
+- Tool calls are logged to `stderr`, not `stdout`
+- Sensitive fields such as tokens and secrets are redacted in logs
+- Access tokens are automatically refreshed when expired
+
+## Quick start
+
+### 1. Install dependencies
```bash
-git clone https://github.com/marcelmarais/spotify-mcp-server.git
-cd spotify-mcp-server
npm install
-npm run build
```
-### Creating a Spotify Developer Application
+### 2. Create `spotify-config.json`
-1. Go to the [Spotify Developer Dashboard](https://developer.spotify.com/dashboard/)
-2. Log in with your Spotify account
-3. Click the "Create an App" button
-4. Fill in the app name and description
-5. Accept the Terms of Service and click "Create"
-6. In your new app's dashboard, you'll see your **Client ID**
-7. Click "Show Client Secret" to reveal your **Client Secret**
-8. Click "Edit Settings" and add a Redirect URI (e.g., `http://127.0.0.1:8888/callback`)
-9. Save your changes
+```bash
+cp spotify-config.example.json spotify-config.json
+```
-### Spotify API Configuration
+Then edit `spotify-config.json` with your Spotify app credentials.
-Create a `spotify-config.json` file in the project root (you can copy and modify the provided example):
+### 3. Authenticate
```bash
-# Copy the example config file
-cp spotify-config.example.json spotify-config.json
+npm run auth
```
-Then edit the file with your credentials:
+This script builds the project first, opens the Spotify authorization flow, and writes tokens back into `spotify-config.json`.
-```json
-{
- "clientId": "your-client-id",
- "clientSecret": "your-client-secret",
- "redirectUri": "http://127.0.0.1:8888/callback"
-}
+### 4. Build the server
+
+```bash
+npm run build
```
-### Authentication Process
+### 5. Run or integrate the MCP server
-The Spotify API uses OAuth 2.0 for authentication. Follow these steps to authenticate your application:
+```bash
+npm start
+```
-1. Run the authentication script:
+Or point your MCP client at:
-```bash
-npm run auth
+```text
+/absolute/path/to/spotify-mcp-server/build/index.js
+```
+
+## Spotify app setup
+
+1. Go to the [Spotify Developer Dashboard](https://developer.spotify.com/dashboard/)
+2. Create an app
+3. Copy the app's **Client ID** and **Client Secret**
+4. Add a redirect URI such as:
+
+```text
+http://127.0.0.1:8888/callback
```
-2. The script will generate an authorization URL. Open this URL in your web browser.
+Important: the authentication helper in `src/utils.ts` requires the redirect host to be `localhost` or `127.0.0.1`.
-3. You'll be prompted to log in to Spotify and authorize your application.
+## Configuration and authentication
-4. After authorization, Spotify will redirect you to your specified redirect URI with a code parameter in the URL.
+The server reads configuration from the repository root file:
-5. The authentication script will automatically exchange this code for access and refresh tokens.
+```text
+spotify-config.json
+```
+
+Minimum required fields before authentication:
+
+```json
+{
+ "clientId": "your-client-id",
+ "clientSecret": "your-client-secret",
+ "redirectUri": "http://127.0.0.1:8888/callback"
+}
+```
-6. These tokens will be saved to your `spotify-config.json` file, which will now look something like:
+After `npm run auth`, the file will also contain token fields like these:
```json
{
"clientId": "your-client-id",
"clientSecret": "your-client-secret",
- "redirectUri": "http://localhost:8888/callback",
- "accessToken": "BQAi9Pn...kKQ",
- "refreshToken": "AQDQcj...7w",
- "expiresAt": 1677889354671
+ "redirectUri": "http://127.0.0.1:8888/callback",
+ "accessToken": "...",
+ "refreshToken": "...",
+ "expiresAt": 1760000000000
}
```
-**Note**: The `expiresAt` field is a Unix timestamp (in milliseconds) indicating when the access token expires.
+Notes based on the current source:
+
+- If the token is expired, the server refreshes it automatically.
+- If refresh fails, you need to run `npm run auth` again.
+- If no user token is present, the utility falls back to client-credentials auth. Some catalog operations can still work, but user playback, playlist, and library tools require user authorization.
+
+## Tool reference
-7. **Automatic Token Refresh**: The server will automatically refresh the access token when it expires (typically after 1 hour). The refresh happens transparently using the `refreshToken`, so you don't need to re-authenticate manually. If the refresh fails, you'll need to run `npm run auth` again to re-authenticate.
+## Read and library tools
-## Integrating with Claude Desktop, Cursor, and VsCode [Via Cline model extension](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items/?itemName=saoudrizwan.claude-dev)
+Defined in `src/read.ts`.
-To use your MCP server with Claude Desktop, add it to your Claude configuration:
+| Tool | Purpose | Key parameters |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| `searchSpotify` | Search tracks, albums, artists, or playlists | `query`, `type`, `limit?` |
+| `getNowPlaying` | Show current track, device, volume, shuffle, and repeat status | none |
+| `getMyPlaylists` | List the current user's playlists | `limit?` |
+| `getPlaylistTracks` | List tracks in a playlist with pagination | `playlistId`, `limit?`, `offset?` |
+| `getRecentlyPlayed` | Show recently played tracks | `limit?` |
+| `getUsersSavedTracks` | List tracks from Liked Songs | `limit?`, `offset?` |
+| `saveUsersSavedTracks` | Save one or more tracks to Liked Songs | `trackIds` (max 40) |
+| `saveNowPlayingToLikedSongs` | Save the currently playing track to Liked Songs | none |
+| `removeUsersSavedTracks` | Remove one or more tracks from Liked Songs | `trackIds` (max 40) |
+| `getQueue` | Show the currently playing item and upcoming queue | `limit?` |
+| `getAvailableDevices` | List available Spotify Connect devices | none |
+
+Behavior notes from the source:
+
+- `searchSpotify` supports `track`, `album`, `artist`, and `playlist`.
+- `getQueue` defaults to showing up to 10 upcoming items.
+- `getPlaylistTracks` and `getUsersSavedTracks` support pagination via `offset`.
+- `saveUsersSavedTracks` and `removeUsersSavedTracks` call the Spotify Web API directly and cap requests at 40 IDs.
+
+## Playback and creation tools
+
+Defined in `src/play.ts`.
+
+| Tool | Purpose | Key parameters |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| `playMusic` | Start playback for a track, album, artist, or playlist | `uri?` or `type` + `id`, `deviceId?` |
+| `pausePlayback` | Pause playback | `deviceId?` |
+| `resumePlayback` | Resume playback | `deviceId?` |
+| `skipToNext` | Skip forward and return updated track info | `deviceId?` |
+| `skipToPrevious` | Skip backward and return updated track info | `deviceId?` |
+| `createPlaylist` | Create a new playlist | `name`, `description?`, `public?` |
+| `addTracksToPlaylist` | Add tracks to a playlist | `playlistId`, `trackIds`, `position?` |
+| `addToQueue` | Add an item to the playback queue | `uri?` or `type` + `id`, `deviceId?` |
+| `setVolume` | Set exact playback volume | `volumePercent`, `deviceId?` |
+| `adjustVolume` | Change volume relative to the current level | `adjustment`, `deviceId?` |
+| `setShuffle` | Enable or disable shuffle | `state`, `deviceId?` |
+| `setRepeat` | Set repeat mode | `state`, `deviceId?` |
+
+Behavior notes from the source:
+
+- `playMusic` requires either a full Spotify `uri` or both `type` and `id`.
+- When `playMusic` starts an album, it first tries to turn shuffle off so album playback stays in order.
+- `skipToNext` and `skipToPrevious` wait briefly, then fetch the new playback state and return detailed track/device info.
+- `setVolume`, `adjustVolume`, `setShuffle`, and `setRepeat` are marked as requiring Spotify Premium.
+- `adjustVolume` reads the current playback device first, then clamps the new volume to the `0-100` range.
+
+## Album tools
+
+Defined in `src/albums.ts`.
+
+| Tool | Purpose | Key parameters |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| `getAlbums` | Get one or more albums by Spotify ID | `albumIds` (string or string[]) |
+| `getAlbumTracks` | List tracks for an album | `albumId`, `limit?`, `offset?` |
+| `saveOrRemoveAlbumForUser` | Save or remove albums from the user's library | `albumIds`, `action` |
+| `checkUsersSavedAlbums` | Check whether albums are saved | `albumIds` |
+
+Behavior notes from the source:
+
+- `getAlbums` accepts either a single album ID or up to 20 IDs.
+- `saveOrRemoveAlbumForUser` accepts `action: "save" | "remove"`.
+- Album save/check operations are capped at 20 IDs per request.
+
+## Playlist tools
+
+Defined in `src/playlist.ts`.
+
+| Tool | Purpose | Key parameters |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| `getPlaylist` | Get playlist metadata, owner, description, and URL | `playlistId` |
+| `updatePlaylist` | Update playlist name, description, visibility, or collaboration mode | `playlistId`, `name?`, `description?`, `public?`, `collaborative?` |
+| `removeTracksFromPlaylist` | Remove one or more tracks from a playlist | `playlistId`, `trackIds`, `snapshotId?` |
+| `reorderPlaylistItems` | Move tracks within a playlist | `playlistId`, `rangeStart`, `insertBefore`, `rangeLength?`, `snapshotId?` |
+
+Behavior notes from the source:
+
+- `updatePlaylist` returns an error if no updatable fields are provided.
+- `removeTracksFromPlaylist` supports up to 100 track IDs per request.
+- `reorderPlaylistItems` uses zero-based positions for both `rangeStart` and `insertBefore`.
+
+## MCP client integration
+
+The server runs over stdio, so MCP clients should invoke the built entrypoint with Node.
+
+### Claude Desktop
+
+Example server definition:
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"spotify": {
"command": "node",
- "args": ["spotify-mcp-server/build/index.js"]
+ "args": ["/absolute/path/to/spotify-mcp-server/build/index.js"]
}
}
}
```
-For Cursor, go to the MCP tab in `Cursor Settings` (command + shift + J). Add a server with this command:
+### Cursor
+
+Example command:
```bash
-node path/to/spotify-mcp-server/build/index.js
+node /absolute/path/to/spotify-mcp-server/build/index.js
```
-To set up your MCP correctly with Cline ensure you have the following file configuration set `cline_mcp_settings.json`:
+### VS Code / Cline-style config
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"spotify": {
"command": "node",
- "args": ["~/../spotify-mcp-server/build/index.js"],
- "autoApprove": ["getListeningHistory", "getNowPlaying"]
+ "args": ["/absolute/path/to/spotify-mcp-server/build/index.js"],
+ "autoApprove": ["getNowPlaying", "searchSpotify"]
}
}
}
```
-You can add additional tools to the auto approval array to run the tools without intervention.
+## Examples
+
+The `examples/` directory contains standalone scripts that use the compiled `build/` output directly, so build first:
+
+```bash
+npm run build
+```
+
+Current example files:
+
+- `examples/test-now-playing.mjs`
+- `examples/build-and-play-playlist.mjs`
+- `examples/add-songs-to-playlist.mjs`
+- `examples/get-music-statistics.mjs`
+- `examples/check-playback-status.mjs`
+- `examples/enable-shuffle-v2.mjs`
+- `examples/skip-next.mjs`
+- `examples/next-and-shuffle.mjs`
+
+There is also a `examples/run-skip.mjs` file in the repository, but it is currently empty.
+
+For commands and walkthroughs, see `examples/README.md`.
+
+## Development
+
+Available npm scripts from `package.json`:
+
+```bash
+npm run build
+npm run dev
+npm run auth
+npm run typecheck
+npm run lint
+npm run lint:fix
+npm start
+npm run token:status
+npm run token:check
+npm run token:refresh
+npm run token:help
+```
+
+What they do:
+
+- `npm run build` — compile TypeScript to `build/`
+- `npm run dev` — watch/compile with TypeScript
+- `npm run auth` — compile and run the browser-based Spotify auth flow
+- `npm run typecheck` — run TypeScript without emitting files
+- `npm run lint` / `npm run lint:fix` — run Biome checks
+- `npm start` — start the built MCP server
+- `npm run token:status`, `token:check`, `token:refresh`, `token:help` — token utility commands exposed by `package.json` via `build/token-cli.js`
+
+## Project structure

+
+## Security notes
+
+- `spotify-config.json` contains your client secret and user tokens.
+- The repository's `.gitignore` excludes `spotify-config.json`.
+- Do not commit real Spotify credentials or tokens.
+- The server logs redact sensitive-looking fields before writing diagnostic data.
+
+## Example interactions
+
+- _"What's playing right now?"_
+- _"Show my available Spotify devices."_
+- _"Play this album on my MacBook and turn shuffle off."_
+- _"Add these tracks to my workout playlist."_
+- _"Save the current song to my Liked Songs."_
+- _"Move the first two songs in this playlist to the end."_
