## Description

Spotify MCP Server enables AI assistants like Claude and Cursor to control Spotify playback and manage playlists through the Model Context Protocol. Built by Marcel Marais, it provides a comprehensive set of tools for both reading operations (searching tracks, viewing playlists, getting currently playing tracks) and playback/creation operations (playing music, creating playlists, adding tracks). The implementation authenticates with the Spotify API using OAuth, automatically refreshes tokens when needed, and runs as a lightweight stdio server that can be easily integrated with Claude Desktop or Cursor for seamless music control during conversations.
